meh, i heard "sham mirrors" and wasn't too impressed. if that's their best album i think i'll learn to live with this news.

 

[Tumn]

The Sham Mirrors is really good, especially the first track.

 

[outerone]

Excellent! Metal just got perceptibly less AIDS-ridden.

???

 

[Don Corleone]

Sham Mirrors is the only Arcturus album that i truly enjoy

you dont like la masquerade infernale? phenomenal record

 

[Treesinger]

It's true. Asgeir Mickelson posted on the Borknagar forum that Hellhammer confirmed it to him. See http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/borknagar/297872-arcturus-split-up.html.

 

[Talking Meat]

Masquerade is tops.

 

[ThePoisoning]

Eh, the new album was okay but they weren't nearly as good without Garm.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

whats done is done, time to move on.

 

[outerone]

Im still thinking this is a damn rumor. When they announced the Australian tour they were quoted as saying that this will be the last tour untill a new album. So they obviously had plans for more music.

[gabaghoul]

wow that's too bad.

Aspera Hiems Symfonia was one of the first BM albums I ever got. Loved Sham Mirrors too. (Masquerade never got me, although I like other avant-garde stuff like Ved Buens Ende, Manes, Frantic Bleep, so go figure).

didn't care for Sideshow though; songs meandered way too much, despite the great clean vox.

AGREED!!!

Honestly, there isn't a single album they have recorded that wasn't phenomenal. Damn, this is some of the shittiest news I have heard in a while. And here I was totally hoping for a NEW 2007 release from the band... aye.

 

[Disgustipated]

ARCTURUS CAME TO AUSTRALIA??

Man, I'm one ignorant fuck. I'm gunna be kicking myself for days over missing out on seeing them.

By the way, Vortex is a fantastic vocalist, and he fitted the role in Arcturus perfectly. The only man that could take Garm's place really.



I'm gunna go kick myself some more..

 

[AshDLS]

Egads man. How did you miss that news? Last Arcturus show ever, in our town.

Heh for the record, I don't like LMI either. Sham Mirrors all the way.

 

[Disgustipated]

I don't tend to pay all that much attention to the metal scene these days. Heck, I don't tend to pay all that much attention to anything these days...

Well said!

 

[Defenestrated]

Would've expected more people on this board to like experimental/prog black metal.


Anyway, this news sucks.

 

[outerone]

There still inst any for sure confirmation on the news...

someone saying they talked to Hellhammer or whatnot isnt official...

Im hoping its a late april fools joke

 

[outerone]

Nevermind, just checked http://www.arcturus.no/ and yes its official now.

F***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really really have enjoyed this band ever since I heard their 1st album back in 97 and loved this new album so much. Shit news truly!!!!!!!
