does anyone dig Arcturus....I think they're wicked...it's like music being ripped from the Nightmare Before Christmas, especially Painting My Horror, but it's more evil, fucking awesome :flame:
 
I love Arcturus.

I prefer The Sham Mirrors the most, Aspera Hiems Symfonia and La Masquerade Infernale being tied for my second favorites, and Sideshow Symphonies is still my least favorite - Arcturus albums need quite a few listens before they grow on me, though, so it might rise in ranks, I dunno.
 
Hey, so does anyone know what the deal with track 2 on the new album is? To me it sounds like it's more quiet (as in mastered differently) than the rest of the album and it has a weird pop at the end in the silent part between track 2 and 3 that doesn't really sound like part of the music.
 
Yeah that click is annoying...theres even a burp on one of the songs but thats there on purpose...I think

it is quieter than the rest of the tracks
 
Yeah, the new album seems to have some mastering fuckups, which is a shame... La Masquerade Infernale is one of the best metal albums ever.
 
Arcturus is damn amazing!

So far I have heard the first two tracks off the new record and damn, seems to me it can manage to be on par with The Sham Mirrors, which is one of my favourite albums I have ever heard - man it's great.

Shipwrecked and Hibernation Sickness are just brilliant songs. I'm definitely picking this album up and can't wait to hear the rest.
 
theyre fucking awesome. the new album is great...it takes a bit to get into it, but once you do you wont stop listening. shipwrecked frontier pioneer is ammmaazzing as is evacuation code deciphered. basically every song is fantastic. and like always, its great music to get blazed to and space out...the mellow part in hufsa is pretty damned cool.
 
Sideshow Symphonies may well be my favourite Arcturus cd if it weren't for the stupid mastering of some tracks. But anyways , definitely one of the most talented and 'original' bands out there. I don't think these guys could do anything wrong, they got so many elements.

I'm just starting to learn about them. I just bought the cd 'True Kings of Norway' with two of their songs: "My Angel" and "Morax". So far, so good.

Those tracks are far inferior in quality compared to their later releases.
