the first day! arcturus + sanctuary !!!!
there are even two italian bands, what the hell are eldritch (they live near meeee!!!!) doing there????
i'm waiting for some arcturus european dates now! :Shedevil:
They are playing a show, how good. I don't see it saying they are coming back and making an album. The last album they did was barely passible, Vortex sings out of key on it and the music is uninspired. If they do come back they are going to really have to make a better album than SS. For me the Arcturus I remember is dead, and that is the Arcturus I enjoyed the most but I wish them luck in this new formation.
ARCTURUS vocalist ICS Vortex (real name Simen Hestnæs) adds, "ProgPower USA 2011 will host the first ARCTURUS concert in five years. This is our first performance in the United States, and since we're all retarded, probably the last."

Garm already said that he's not interested on Arcturus anymore some time ago and Vortex is overall a good singer. About his performance, now I can safely say that SS is great. I remember that the first spins were like wtf?? but with some time and a better sound system I found the brilliance on it. Sverd had some years to write new songs and I hope he really did.
I'm not sure if I could afford a trip to USA right now, but I'll try. I can't die without seeing Arcturus live at least once.

Alteredmindeath fuck you. You are an idiot. Your opinion to not like something is ok, but the way you voice is, and the fact you can hate on SS in the way you do, tells me you are a dumb piece of shit. Seriously fuck you.
I take solace in the fact you are probably a fat/ugly trve kvlt loser virgin.
Got 1 year to save bro, that is what I am doing!
basically that album compared to the others...it doesn't comp. plus I cleaned my ears and my opinion didn't change, is that strange?
Just a matter of taste, I guess. Even if I love how Garm' singing has evolved - I think Sham was his best vocal work on Arcturus - I liked what Simen did on SS. All Arcturus' albums are way different from each other, and that album follows the same rule. What I missed on it was the massive keys presence. It's not like SS has 'less' layers than the others, just the mix favors the guitars and vocals more than before, but I love the atmosphere and there are some true gems on it. Evacuation Code Deciphered was something totally unexpected, yet one of the most beautiful and demented tracks that the band did ever. Shipwrecked, Deamonpainter and Hufsa are excellent songs too. The most important thing on SS is that it shows how they can reinvent themselves and still releasing unique, classy and innovative avantgarde material.
With Arcturus you just can't say what's coming, so if they release a new album, it will be literally something unheard to date.
