I just heard these guys like a week or two ago, and I kinda like them. Hellhammer is fuckin ballsy. And Im a sucker for the piano. What do you all think of them?

VERY unique band to say the least, i have to be in the mood to really enjoy them, i have La Masquerade Inferale and it's a great album and it's great to see that Hellhammer doesn't always have to be insane all the time

i love 'em. i dont think that many people have had the opportunity to have heard them though.

Yes.

architeuthis dux is fucking ballsy.

The only album i have is Aspera Heims Symphonia which i enjoyed.

My girlfriend is obsessed with them. Which is why our cat is named Arcturus

Your girlfriend sound bad ass.

My cat is more badass than her. He's black and white which makes him look like he's wearing corpsepaint,
plus he was born without his right eye and has an empty socket where his eye should be that oozes pus when he has a cold.
The fact that he ripped six pins out of his broken leg once he decided it was healed adds to his status as most badass cat ever.

My girlfriends dogs wear corpsepaint as well

We should do a KVLT pet photoshoot in the woods of the Arnold Arboretum

arcturus is one of my favorite bands. garm has a great voice. good to see more people getting into such a great band. check out winds and age of silence too. hellhammer plays with them. also, check out borknagar, vintersorg, solefald, ulver, spiral architect, and more. good shit.

very good band.

I listened to the "La Masquerade Infernale" CD today!

Great band, I prefer their earlier stuff though.

I have La Masquerade Infernale and Aspeira... Aspeira has some awesome parts but I think that it kind of meanders in some spots. La Masquerade is a very unique album (Alone is an awesome song) but not the kind of thing I'd listen to every day.

To top it off theyeve been named Fenriz and Frost.

Awesome

The Sham Mirrors is great too.

Just got the Sideshow Symphonies digipak.

Houston we have a problem.

My Angel Pink 7", thats where arcturus shines supreme!.... The other albums are also brilliant

that album was disappointing

agreed. it was far from what i was hoping for. the whole space pirate thing doesnt really fit well.

simen's voice was annoying on it.

yea he does suck a big one on that cd. Everything else he does is good, i dont get it

I liked the music on Sideshow, but compared to the mighty Sham Mirrors? Nah.

I agree!!! The Sham Mirrors is awesome but compared to Aspera heims......

i've never been familiar with their work. i heard a song a while back called "Fall of Man" which was excellent, so when i picked up "Sideshow Symphonies" it was a big disappointment.

I love Aspera heims, but honestly, that one wasn't quite so innovative as La Masquerade Infernal or The Sham Mirrors. It was great for what it was.
