9/17/2023 0 Comments Arcturus discographyAfter a decade, Garm left and current Borknagar vocalist ICS Vortex (Simen Hestnæs) took over the mic. With the exception of some brief moments of harsh vocals used for effect, he went fully clean with the next two albums, La Masquerade Infernale and The Sham Mirrors, with a greater emphasis on experimentation. Also known as the voice of Ulver and former Borknagar vocalist, Rygg presented the dual approach of operatic clean tones to savage, blackened shrieks on the Constellation EP and Aspera Hiems Symfonia full-length. Kristoffer “Garm” Rygg’s vocals are a defining characteristic of Arcturus’s early material. While maintaining keyboard-derived atmospheres, later efforts saw them expand beyond the black metal tag, albeit a unique take on the genre, into something more progressive and avant-garde. Early recordings were epic and atmospheric. They were a vastly important band in the early Norwegian black metal scene, yet with a style that can’t really be copied or emulated. Arcturus are at the forefront of the Norwegian metal scene with their mind-expanding brand of music.
