Black Metal

Two years after Fran marder’s release, the second ARCKANUM album Kostogher was set free to plague the feeble world. The ARCKANUM trademarks as edified on Trulen and Fran marder are kept intact while at the same time new ingredients are mingled. Whereas Fran marder had a rather clean sound, Kostogher’s production comes with a lot of stink and filth. The harsh sound of Kostogher which convincingly marries the rawness of Trulen with a vigorous studio production turns the second full-length into a savage and quite possibly the most primal sounding ARCKANUM album. Compared to Fran marder, Kostogher comes across way dirtier, meaner and all around crazier. The whole album has a bold FUCK OFF written all over it.

Remastered for vinyl from the original recordings by Patrick W. Engel of Temple of Disharmony.

This release will come as a double-LP in a gatefold sleeve with UV-varnish on the cover and an etched D-side.
Including a huge 20-page 12” booklet with an in-depth interview (divided into 4 parts, this is part 3) with Shamaatae and many never seen before pictures.
An A2 poster will be added to every vinyl too.

NOTE: This item is a pre-order item with an intended release date of November 5, 2025.

Black Metal

Aspera Hiems Symfonia stands out for its daring departure from traditional black metal. Piercing vocal shrieks coexist with eerie, operatic melodies, while Sverd’s cinematic keyboards weave atmospheric tapestries. Tidemann’s technical guitar solos add a layer of sophistication, and the rhythm section, driven by Hellhammer’s relentless precision and Skoll’s dynamic basslines, provides a solid yet adventurous foundation. This fusion of aggressive roots with progressive experimentation—marked by unconventional song structures and a theatrical flair—established Arcturus as trailblazers in the Oslo metal scene and beyond, cementing their legacy as progressive innovators.

Black Metal

Having grown out of the Norwegian Death Metal band MORTEM, ARCTURUS emerged under the irresistible influence of Oslo’s creatively bursting and fast rising underground black metal scene officially with the two-track 7″ “My Angel” (1991). With then-guitarist and formidable keyboard player Sverd and MAYHEM drum-beast Hellhammer at its core, vocals were first contributed by Marius Vold, who also sang on the legendary THORNS demo “The Thule Tape”. While still very much influenced by death metal, the addition of doom-laden slowness and eerie keyboards already pointed into a far blacker cosmos. On the four tracks of the original 1994 “Constellation” EP, ULVER’s Garm had taken over the vocal duties and Samoth from EMPEROR had joined the band on guitar. Yet, ARCTURUS already went off the (in reality quite wide-ranged) black metal norms mainly due to Sverd’s keyboard arrangements that were pre-shadowing the trademark theatrical or circus-like style the Norwegians adopted on their following albums.

Black Metal

Calamites & les Calamités is the first full-length of Ascète. Through a rusty black metal, joyfully old, Ascète gives its vision of a forgotten and forlorn countryside, where the small poor people of campains slowly die in the indifference of big cities administrations. Melodic Black metal with punk/oï influences, Calamites & les Calamités haunts us in ridiculously difform Perigord legends, carried by the decadent proclamations howled in an almost ruined, out of age barn… (vocals were actually recorded there).

The magnificent work on guitars and sound will carry you in a forgotten countryside, where an aging population, almost feral and animal-looking, discretly and suspiciously wanders in its misery. Among the remains of minor historical landmark monuments, which returns to Earth, too. Slower, maybe, but in the same definitive manner.

Limited to 150 handnumbered. With lyrics insert.
