”Den Förstfödde” is Arckanum’s 9th studio album after 25 years of existence.
The album ”Den Förstfödde” is a dedication to Loki’s and Gullveig’s firstborn, Jörmungandr.
The songs are invocations, prayers and magical formulas, and they are designed to enkindle the black flames of Thursian Powers, its followers and Ragnarök. “Blow your venom and stretch your wings oh Mighty Dragon!”

Everything created under the name ARCKANUM is an extension of Shamaatae's Thursian spiritual practice and artistic vision. The music is conceived not simply as artistic expression, but as an act of magical will, shaped to evoke specific inner states, esoteric ideas, and atmospheres without compromise or conformity.
From its beginning, ARCKANUM has followed the Left-Hand Path: the way of the outsider, the vargar, standing beyond imposed order and conventional morality. Resistance, questioning, and individual will have always remained fundamental to both Shamaatae's spiritual Work and his approach to art.
The forthcoming album carries this principle further as a complete magical working. Music, lyrics, sound, and visual form have been developed as interconnected parts of the same ritual expression, shaped through intent and devotion within Shamaatae's Thursatru Workings.
Written in Old Swedish (fornsvenska), the lyrics draw upon Old Norse and Swedish poetic traditions while incorporating elements of Swedish svartkonst. They function as mythic charms and narrative incantations, invoking the Thursian current.
Musically, the new material represents a fusion of ARCKANUM's older foundations with Shamaatae's present approach to composition. The new album Beswærilsin cuts deep with a feral, unpolished production, raw with aggression and stripped of unnecessary ornament. Its sound moves between the freezing storms of Niflheimr and the relentless, blazing fury of Múspellsheimr, at once cold and searing, primitive and forceful, carrying the unmistakable spirit of ARCKANUM into a harsher and more dynamic form.
