Padded inner sleeve and protection sleeve. Following their early EPs \"My Angel\" (1991) and \"Constellation\" (1994), Arcturus finally released their debut album \"Aspera Hiems Symfonia\" in 1996. The Norwegians derived their name from the brightest star of the Northern hemisphere and were obviously influenced by the massively expanding black metal scene of their homeland. Already featuring such well-known protagonists as ULVER's Garm and MAYHEM's Hellhammer, the line-up on \"Aspera Hiems Symfonia\" saw Samoth replaced by excellent guitarist Carl August Tidemann and outstanding ULVER bass player Hugh \"Skoll\" Mingay also joining the band. Despite their audible black roots, Arcturus clearly begged to differ by daring to experiment and adding an avant-garde twist with strange sonorous vocals complementing those piercing shrieks, Sverd's cinematic keyboards, the technical guitar solos, and more elements that to this day mark the band from Oslo as progressive innovators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo Thou Who Dwellest in the Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wintry Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Whence ; Whither Goest the Wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Raudt Og Svart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Bodkin ; the Quietus (... to Reach the Stars)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Du Nordavind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fall of Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Naar Kulda Tar (Frostnettenes Prolog)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Prophecy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43399651262554,"sku":"884388726017","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/6107\/2986\/files\/4180800-2946502.jpg?v=1779330503","url":"https:\/\/qbrxip-ki.myshopify.com\/products\/arcturus-aspera-hiems-symfonia-1","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
