The bands fourth album, 2005's 'Sideshow Symphonies', brought change yet again in the form of a decidedly more guitar-heavy approach. Now remastered, and paired with the long out of print 'Shipwrecked in Oslo' DVD (a professionally recorded live show in Sept. 2005), the 2-disc set showcases the influential band at the height of their powers. ARCTURUS are renowned for a reason, and this deluxe reissue marries their legendary avant-garde studio magic with the world-class live show that only they can deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53018069139753,"sku":"P-36011-","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Arcturus-Sideshow-Symphonies-CD-DVD-36011-1-1510775846.jpg?v=1778007360"},{"product_id":"arcturus-arcturian-cd-digipak","title":"Arcturus - Arcturian - CD DIGIPAK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\r\nUnparalleled in creativity, musicianship and artistic approach since their foundation days, mastermind Steinar \"Sverd\" Johnsen and his cosmic crew consisting of past and present members of bands like Ulver, Mayhem, Dimmu Borgir, Borknagar and Ved Buens Ende have been dancing their very own tightrope between genius and madness ever since. With each of their releases being an interstellar journey of its own, and always ahead of their time, Arcturus can justifiably be labelled as the epitome of avant-garde metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\"Arcturian\" is Arcturus' first studio album in ten years, and the announcement of its release may take many a fan by surprise. But the first spin of the album will turn doubts into sheer bliss. As the title indicates, Arcturus return with their quintessential work. Veined by the band's generic boundless creativity, \"Arcturian\" is a setting-to-music of both the sublime and beauty of outer space, uniting grandeur and filigree in their inimitable way, yet always being daring and unpredictable, just as the magnificent artwork designed by Costin Chioreanu in close collaboration with the band. With what is doubtlessly their strongest album of the millennium, Arcturus prove once and for all that for them nothing but the sky is the limit!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nKnut Magne Valle says on the album: \"'Arcturian' contains elements from entire Arcturus' history and as a result it is both harder and softer than ever before. We went back to real drums, real strings and 'first take' improvised guitar solos to give it an authenticity and life that not many records tend to have these days. We worked hard to mix the old Arcturus sound into the newer material and the result was: We obtained a more homogeneous, mystic Arcturus sound picture.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1463651047\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/arcturus-no.bandcamp.com\/album\/arcturian\"\u003eArcturian by Arcturus\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53170643271977,"sku":"P-40006-","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Arcturus-Arcturian-CD-DIGIPAK-40006-1-1554301656.jpg?v=1778701868"},{"product_id":"arcturus-constellation-my-angel-lp","title":"Arcturus - Constellation \/ My Angel - LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eLP (black vinyl) incl. Insert, padded inner sleeve and protection sleeve. 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 it's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53270514237737,"sku":"P-61560-","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Arcturus-Constellation-My-Angel-LP-61560-1-1728489817.jpg?v=1781642672"}],"url":"https:\/\/shopusa.season-of-mist.com\/collections\/band-music-arcturus.oembed","provider":"Season of Mist - North America","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
