Arcturus

Few bands to emerge from the Norwegian black metal scene in the 1990s are as original and unique as Arcturus. The band started all the way back in 1990, when Norwegian black metal was still in its infancy, with members from bands such as Mayhem, Mortem, Stigma Diabolicum and several others. 

 Their first single arrived as early as 1991, but the band’s unique sound really began to take shape with the EP «Constellation» in 1994 and the debut album «Aspera Hiems Symfonia» in 1996. The following year, they truly showed just how unique Arcturus were with «La Masquerade Infernale». «The Sham Mirrors» followed in 2002, with two more albums arriving later. When Arcturus return to Inferno, the focus will be on these early albums. 

 The band will perform «Aspera Hiems Symfonia», along with selected songs from «La Masquerade Infernale» and «The Sham Mirrors». In addition, vocalist Øyvind Hægeland, who performed with the band in 2003, will make a special appearance for the occasion. We are looking forward to having Arcturus back at Inferno for a very special show.
