Title: The Sham Mirrors
Artist: Arcturus
Label: Prophecy
Product Type: VINYL LP
UPC: 884388704916
Genre: Heavy Metal, Heavy Metal
Release Date: 2023-04-07
Number of Discs: 1
Gatefold LP (black vinyl) incl. Padded inner sleeve and protection sleeve. It is never easy to follow up with another album, especially considering the impact made by the complex wild flight of musical fantasy of "La Masquerade Infernale". Arcturus elegantly solved this conundrum by releasing the comparatively more straightforward third full-length, "The Sham Mirrors" in 2002. This does not mean that the Norwegians had lost their appetite for experiments. The vocals by Garm (ULVER) are more soaring and wide-ranging than ever on this release, while main man Steinar "Sverd" Johnsen keeps adding classic prog rock excursions to his repertoire. Yet, the guitars are more often set to a more conventional metal mode on "The Sham Mirrors". Still complex, still avant-garde, Arcturus clearly consolidated their compositions on "The Sham Mirrors" and while still using many sonic elements, those rather serve each individual song than try to stick out.
Tracks:
1.1 Ad Absurdum
1.2 Collapse Generation
1.3 For To End Yet Again
1.4 Kinetic
1.5 Nightmare Heaven
1.6 Radical Cut
1.7 Star Crossed
