Did Garm leave Arcturus?

"This statement was not least affirmed a few days later when it was heralded in the news that Trickster G. had left Arcturus – a band to which he´d belonged basically since the beginning of his career.”

What what what??
How come noone told me!?

 

[manuelgv]

he left Arcturus some time ago it seems
it's a fucking shame...
someone said they already had a replacement

 

[NAD]

Ulver has 5 releases planned this year, even Garm cant' accomplish that while being in another band.

 

[Kveldssanger]

That and the fact that the rest in Arcturus wanted to go steady and tour, seem to be the reasons. We'll have to wait and see about the future.

As long as the next album is better than The Sham Mirrors, I'll be happy.

 

[Adam90125]

Sham Mirrors rules!

 

[blakmetalemp]

I dont know how they could top the Sham Mirrors without Garm. They may pull it off but Im not getting my hopes up.

 

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]

It's a shame Garm left, but look at it this way, at least now there's a possibility that we can all see Arcturus live. Garm is a great vocalist but even I can pull off some of the shit he does and I'm only a fucking guitar player (I could never hit those falsettos on Sham Mirrors in a millions years, but his singing on LMI and Themes... is pretty easy to pull off). I only hope his replacement has his (or her) own personality and doesn't just mimick Garm.

This is the same reason he left Borknagar. They got serious and wanted to tour and he refused to perform live.

 

[Kveldssanger]

The only difference is that in Borknagar he was just the singer, he wasn't really part of the band. And he didn't write anything for them.

This is sad. Oh well. I'm sure both Arcturus and Garm will continue to create good music. I've also just read the news story about Limbonic Art splitting. I'm soooo sad...
