I can understand people saying this is rubbish. It's not easy to listen, it doesn't follows standard music rules, it's weird... and to some lucky people who really understands... it's BEAUTIFUL!!! I remember buying La Masquerade Infernale and thinking "what the hell is this?!?!"... Then I had to settle up my mind and listened to it again, and once again... and finally I got into the masterpiece it is. And after that Arcturus kept doing great albums that will last for eternity!!
Yeah same here! After loving Aspera Hiems Symphonia I bought the masquerade and was disappointed and puzzled by its weirdness and after a few listening and getting accustomed I really loved it especially the weirdest one: Chaos Path which is as the title promised, very chaotic! ^_^
Totally truth! They need to be more famous to keep doing great music, unfortunately when a band become really famous change everything, see Dimmu Borgir case, just an example.
I loved this group. Dimmi Burgers kicked out the best rhythm section they ever had in Vortex and Mustis and it serves them right that they've fallen into obscurity in the us now.
Agreed, it’s criminal how underrated these guys are. They inspire me so hard when I’m writing, happiest accident five years ago when I first discovered them.
mmmmh... I'd still say Bfuce Dickinson, or King Diamond. And we shouldn't forget Dio or Halford. They all have outstanding voices too (especially Bruce and King, to me)
I remember listening to this album for the first time, years ago... "Woohoo" I said to myself "this stuff's weird, do I really like it?". Hell, I do. I did then and I do still. ;)
I love how Sverd Steinar has never been in the spotlight. He's probably one of the top 4 metal composers in Norway and you wouldn't be able to pick him out of a lineup. Dude needs a lot more recognition. Masquerade Infernale was maybe the best thing to come out of Norway in the nineties (besides perhaps Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk).
I just saw Arcturus live in Finland. It was a magical moment. There was art hippies and hipsters dancing around but at least it was easier to get closer the stage. They only had one guitarist but the show went perfectly.
Well, Wolf's Lair Abyss is the most brutal release that Mayhem has ever released :D It's EP from 1997.. You can find songs from here UA-cam.. Songs are like: I Am Thy Labyrinth, Fall of Seraphs, Ancient Skin and Symbols of Bloodswords... That "album" kills every Mayhem-album in the brutalness imo :P Also, Grand Declaration of War and Chimera are great, too..
This dead orchestra Play on instruments Strung with the fibres Of my mind And skeletons dance They have no voice And no complaint But I am still flesh And will not serve You vampire fools Bringing you life By invoking dead I'm tired of telling stories With this ghostvoice of mine So you can say you don't Believe in ghosts You drink me animal Wasted on my madness Leaving me blank and empty But tonight I'm Houdini Gonna kill my shadow Penetrate your sanctum See your loss Through your eyes And laugh as two You not knowing why And wanting to die
Skjorte i sin super. I den gamle russiske stilen .)))) Vortex trollmann. Jeg elsker stemmen hans. Og musikken i denne gruppen er svært uvanlig. Tidligere hadde aldri blitt hørt.
As much as I deeply love the way Arcturus sounds live with Vortex, I'd almost kill to hear them live with Garm because I've always wanted to see/watch something of him doing live that was metal.
The real fans know just who he is and what he's done, I don't think too much of the editing on this DVD either but I think it's still one of the best music DVD's ever recorded.
this is King- Finally someone bends the rules of metal music... not a little , but alot. I bought the Aspheia cd and thought " creative well made black metal" ... then bought the Masq. inf. cd... and sheesh was close to throw it after nearest old person i could see. but after a few listens, it all became clear - theese sods are truly amazing, and can really change your mood into and out of total Chaos- they write & sing in a toungue unknown.. they are truly gods.
Сорочка у него классная. В древнерусском стиле.)))) Vortex красава. Обожаю его голос. И музыка у этой группы очень необычная. Раньше никогда ее не слышал.
o wow that beginning is rly epic, vortex reminds me of like some big giant or king or something breaking out into song and with the costumes its even more epic
If I am not mistaken too, in concerts they use an echoing thing on his mic, much like can be done in programs such as Ventrillo or other studio programs. In order to do stuff like that though you still need a good voice to base it off of, and that voice is Vortex's.

This is a perfect masterpiece
Still a sick listen
Only music illiterate's would say this is rubbish.
@@sallybarnes2946Pretentious, pompous and ridiculous.
This band is sadly so underrated... :(
Why sadly? This way, mainstream demand can't fuck it up! Being nieche is good!
Totally truth! They need to be more famous to keep doing great music, unfortunately when a band become really famous change everything, see Dimmu Borgir case, just an example.
Yeah if it goes mainstream or even close, you know it sucks haha
It's my favourite band.
Back when they broke out the underground lapped them up. They were legit to everyone.
Not only do they change their reality, they change ours too. They are great artists.

They're not pretending to be different. It's called having fun and putting on a good show.
How can he sing so high??? Damn, he is a giant with a Tenor voice. For me he has the best voice in Metal.
mmmmh... I'd still say Bfuce Dickinson, or King Diamond. And we shouldn't forget Dio or Halford. They all have outstanding voices too (especially Bruce and King, to me)
Dio for me has the best voice in Metal but Dickinson, Halford... Mmm, no, their vocal range it's not so high.
I think I.C.S. VORTEX is the best one of all of them, cause he really sounds like a Tenor with singing education. It's my opinion.
Hey Martin Klaus O. Is Vortex the best one.
Ok
I remember listening to this album for the first time, years ago... "Woohoo" I said to myself "this stuff's weird, do I really like it?". Hell, I do. I did then and I do still. ;)
DO YOU STILL THO??
I do.
@@lefterismandilas4903 Well well, eleven years passed and I STILL DO.
Damn, I'm not developing at all ;)
I need that red hat. It has confused me for years!

@@sandromage3686 sorry fellow Arcturus fan.
arcturus es una banda mamalona muy original y con mucha imaginacion en lo que hace la verdad una chingonada .
THE BEST, the "u u u" part at the end is marvelous.
Vortex has one of the most impressive pitch and style ranges of any vocalist I've ever ever heard!
Don't care what anybody has to say about this band...... They kick ass & they are unique... This DVD shows just how good they are live...

MrDaoJones debatable,what do you say about Covenant’s “Nexus Polaris”?
@@mrtrashguy5111 A classic album. Great even, but not as innovative at the time as the others I mentioned.
I haven't listen to this in for ever. This is still an amazing song and no one can change my mind about it!
I just saw Arcturus live in Finland. It was a magical moment. There was art hippies and hipsters dancing around but at least it was easier to get closer the stage. They only had one guitarist but the show went perfectly.
Such a good trip
His vocals undertook lots of effects while he was recording with Dimmu... Here you can truelly appreciate his talent! :)
love hellhammer's mask
What are you talking about? It gets better every moment.

SPACE pirates! I love when Simen walks up to the mic.
I saw on metal fest 2013, in My country Chile wow the sound perfect.
I remember my dad playing this CD for me all the time when I was like 4. The nostalgia is real!
This is inspiration!..Hellhammer is probably the best drummer in the extreme metal scene

When I heard this for the first time I was like "wtf is this?!" Now I am ashamed for what I thought. Simply amazing.
Arcturus at their best.. sick genius..
This dead orchestra
Play on instruments
Strung with the fibres
Of my mind
And skeletons dance
They have no voice
And no complaint
But I am still flesh
And will not serve
You vampire fools
Bringing you life
By invoking dead
I'm tired of telling stories
With this ghostvoice of mine
So you can say you don't
Believe in ghosts
You drink me animal
Wasted on my madness
Leaving me blank and empty
But tonight
I'm Houdini
Gonna kill my shadow
Penetrate your sanctum
See your loss
Through your eyes
And laugh as two
You not knowing why
And wanting to die
I love this band!
just listen to that voice...briliant
Some of the people posting in this and the uploader are suprisingly tolerant and open minded compared to the rest of youtube, congrats to you guys
It sounds happy to me hehe
I think this is kinda different, and that's why I like it! Really good!!!
How many bands can sound this good live? they even sound better!
I can't believe that there's people who love this music :P
ARTE apreciable no para cualquiera 🖤
Snare sound is great
nothing can top thier first album. I wish they did more black metal
Skjorte i sin super. I den gamle russiske stilen .)))) Vortex trollmann. Jeg elsker stemmen hans. Og musikken i denne gruppen er svært uvanlig. Tidligere hadde aldri blitt hørt.
one could argue the vocals and drumming are the finest bits about this band.
Beautiful.
Vlw amigo a 11 anos esqutei essa música no seu canal
pvt gladson essa música é do caralho mesmo viu pqp
As much as I deeply love the way Arcturus sounds live with Vortex, I'd almost kill to hear them live with Garm because I've always wanted to see/watch something of him doing live that was metal.
Listen to Ulver in the 90s the band of Garm "The voice"
@@fernandofigueredo9946 Absolutely love Ulver, and I know there's a pretty old video of them live from the early 90's floating around on here.
@@IStillJustLikeCats 😆 hugs master 😎 Garm is the ligth
No doubt these gentlemen have had alien contact.
Pure unbridled art.
Awesome awesome! Talent and quality.... nothing more to add!
That riff at the beginning... that's like the coolest thing i have ever heard :D:D

Good snare sound....
RASK, RASK, RASK!!!! Love this song!
He's great, one of the greatest!
If I had one wish it would be the ability to listen to all the music I keep finding. I mean come on now ICS Vortex and this band fucking amazing.
a perfect band with the best clean black vocals :D ICS vortex \m/
Black Metal All - Star Team 2006 !! MVP Sverd, Best Dunk of the night Hellhammer
yeeahh!! Great concert.. and Great Song!!
Hellhammer is playing the drums and ICS Vortex (Bassist and backup singer of Dimmu Borgir) is the singer. :)
wowww!...excelente tema!
Teatrical Metal, with sympohic, power and melodic black influences
i love that song!!!!
this is like the twentieth time ive watched this..today
This is great, they kick the ass off of Dimmu.
I hear similarities to Finntroll at the beginning
i fully support this band for having great music and delivering lulz at the same time
That Hellhammer of the legendary Mayhem fame is case you don't know boy......
finally someone who says things nice!
Damn I miss them
awesome, they've always been avant-garde for sure. My Angel will always be a great piece in my eyes.
Haha, lol that "goblinwalk" in the beginning.
Yes, that is Hellhammer with a theatrical mask.
thanks for the info
Best band in the whole world!R.I.P
Beautiful band🤘
Great Band,i like!
I'd love to listen to Vortex singing some Tiny Tim songs.
Vikings have been dressing in costumes for centuries. We all like it that way.
FUCKIN SICK~!! Finally someone with good musical taste!Great vid!
Sublime!! Beautifull! Arturus R.I.P.
This is like a demon which is extreme
the most amazing metal band ever!!
If I am not mistaken too, in concerts they use an echoing thing on his mic, much like can be done in programs such as Ventrillo or other studio programs. In order to do stuff like that though you still need a good voice to base it off of, and that voice is Vortex's.
la masquerade infernal too good.👍🤘
hella sick!!
