Bring back Garm plz

Arcturus is a metal band formed in Norway in 1987 under the name Mortem. In 1990, the band changed their name to Arcturus (meaning Bear Guardian), after the Behenian fixed star Arcturus.

The band released four official full-length albums. Arcturus has experimented throughout their career, extracting influences and incorporating elements from all over the musical spectrum including black metal and classical music, but the band was rooted as a metal outfit. On April 16, 2007, it was announced that the band would be breaking up, and more details were revealed in an official statement released on the band's website on April 17.

The official statement was written by all of the band members, confirming rumours that had been circulating after their Melbourne concert, the last one of the Australian tour, in which Simen "Vortex" Hestnaes, the band's vocalist, introduced the show to the audience with the words "Welcome to the last Arcturus show ever." The statement went on to say that the split was a 'decision we made some time ago,' and that because of ongoing 'things' in their careers and lives, the members could no longer 'find the time to continue working with this band.' The statement closed with a tribute to the fans of the band, "We are humble and grateful to all the people that have supported and loved us over the years."

There are rumours circulating the internet that Arcturus may reform with Garm as the vocalist. Hellhammer has recently confirmed that an Arcturus reunion is inevitable, and that Garm has shown interest in participating. Furthermore, ICS Vortex has mentioned he plans to resurrect "a band or three" in a blog he posted shortly after being removed from Dimmu Borgir. Vortex has also stated on his myspace page that he was told by an alien that regarding an Arcturus reunion, 2011 is a lucky number.

ICS Vortex confirmed an Arcturus reunion show at ProgPower USA 2011 Festival. In addition, Vortex also said "Beloved freaks! ProgPower USA 2011 will host the first Arcturus concert in 5 years. This is our first performance in the United States, and since we\'re all retarded, probably the last."

Promising news.

I've been to this fest 4 times and it's always the best weekend. Can't wait for this year again. Oceans of Sadness killed it last year.

thst's the only way i'd go to this. i love arcturus but the album with vortex sucked.

"Aspera Hiems Symfonia" start to finish or I don't give an ass-raping fuck

I enjoyed sideshow symphonies. Aspera is definitely my favorite but La Masquerade Infernale was awesome as well. Sham Mirrors never did all that much for me.

Funny, I was just watching Shipwrecked in Oslo last night. Love all their shit, I'd go if I was keen on the rest of the bands.

Yeah, really don't give a shit about anybody else playing.

Needs more Manilla Road.

sham mirrors >>>>>>>>>> sideshow suckphonies
