Vi eles ao vivo em São Paulo e foi incrível. Era aniversário do Vortex e ele saiu na frente da casa de shows após o ocorrido e foi super simpático com a meia dúzia que ainda estava por ali.

Последний альбом отчасти напоминает мне лучшие работы Боркнагара, также записанные с Хэстнэсом на вокале, очень хочется продолжения после столь длительного перерыва, потому что все эти Нагары и Винтерсорги в последние годы как-то уже не особо впечатляли, а Арктурус пока еще ни разу не разочаровал.

The Sham Mirrors is really amazing stuff. My first of them, it was complete coincidence that I discovered them almost 2 weeks ago. I always find rock & metal mixed with electronic music fascinating, like Atoma (album "Skylight"), Horse The Band (album "Desperate Living") or of course some industrial metal (first 2 Cyanotic albums for example or Strapping Young Lad) and one of my all time favourite bands, Sleepmakeswaves (Love Of Cartography and Made Of Breath Only). Saw a reviewer of this album on sputnikmusic calling it "avant-garde metal" and I had to check it out, I love avant-garde influences in some bands like This Heat and Pere Ubu (till 1982) and Tuxedomoon and I also already knew another a-g metal album Imaginary Sonicscape by Sigh which is great too.

Vocalist reminds me of that scondary singer from Septicflesh. Kind of like a cross from Dimmu Borgir and some other synth-symphonic combination.

Vortex is a cool dude and better than Garm at live shows, but the first 3 albums with Garm (Rygg) were what made this band special. I know that Sverd, Knut and Hellhammer are still here, but sometimes it felt like a different band with Garm singing

Разве крайний релиз считается плохим? Единственная претензия лишь к качеству мастеринга

They basically already did that with Shipwrecked in Oslo. Not sure if I'd consider anything on Arcturian a greatest hit. Maybe Crashland. But I prefer Borknagar nowadays anyway.

First three LPs + Constellation + Disguised Masters are the only releases worth a damn. I remember being surprised by the monstrously fucking bad production on Sideshow Symphonies and completely astonished by them making the same mistakes all over again on Arcturian a full decade later. What the hell guys

Contradictions are rife :- "production on the new record kicks it. i was always baffled by how sideshow symphonies sounds like it was recorded underwater and this is just really lovely. not as ear-piercingly sharp as masquerade/sham mirrors and not totally fuzzed out either, i dig"

Reality stings and I often lie to myself and spend months and years and decades avoiding coming around to painful truths

For real tho when Arcturian hit I was so fuckin jazzed about a new Arcturus, finally, and I kinda forced myself to be positive about it and yeah it doesn't work. That album is non functional

Well that's fine then. You keep lying to yourself. No need to spread your lies to me though ;) For the record, I don't think there is anything wrong with Arcturian's sound. It works for me anyway. Or am I lying to myself? :P

трек Warp прям а-ля Thy Catafalque, а вообще камбэк вышел, только зря они такую годную запись испортили "олд-скульным" звучанием

I'd say: (sham mirrors > masquerade) >>>>>> rest. Have to agree SS has been their worst: nothing special, a less inspired and far less experimental version of TSM, more for metalheads than avant/experimental/symphonic audiences. Arcturus should change style every album, and SS gave little new things. It's still a good enjoyable album; still better than lots of other bands, but you just can't compare it to their 2 all time masterpieces...

Have to agree with whoever said the Garm/Vortex comparisons are dumb. They're both great vocalists and both have done great work with this band.
