Welcome to the metal circus! Arcturus is truly the most avant-garde band in the black metal scene, although I wouldn’t label this album as black metal at all.. this is a magnificent metal opera, unique and fascinating.. I don’t recall any band doing what Arcturus did on this album.. the most difficult thing would be trying to label this in any way.. “Opera” is the only word that comes to my mind.. so, upon a metal background / structure, you have layers and layers of sounds, noises, vocals, buffooneries, you name it.
You can imagine seeing a grotesque circus with perverse clowns, jesters, buffoons.. that’s the king of image this album is unveiling.. to me at least.. for a trve bm-er this will sound boring and irritating, to an open minded one – (maybe) fascinating.. I’m on the 2nd category and this will forever be my favorite avant-garde album of all times!
