While writing their upcoming album (due later this year), Remina ended up with three songs that no longer fit the album's themes as it began to take shape. Rather than let these songs become lost in the ether, these were gathered in a brand new ep, "Erebus".
Initially released digitally only in June 2024, the ep found a huge success and pushing us to offer the band a one-off only edition on vinyl and cd.

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.

Having grown out of the Norwegian Death Metal band MORTEM, ARCTURUS emerged under the irresistible influence of Oslo's creatively bursting and fast rising underground black metal scene officially with the two-track 7" "My Angel" (1991). With then-guitarist and formidable keyboard player Sverd and MAYHEM drum-beast Hellhammer at its core, vocals were first contributed by Marius Vold, who also sang on the legendary THORNS demo "The Thule Tape". While still very much influenced by death metal, the addition of doom-laden slowness and eerie keyboards already pointed into a far blacker cosmos. On the four tracks of the original 1994 "Constellation" EP, ULVER's Garm had taken over the vocal duties and Samoth from EMPEROR had joined the band on guitar. Yet, ARCTURUS already went off the (in reality quite wide-ranged) black metal norms mainly due to Sverd's keyboard arrangements that were pre-shadowing the trademark theatrical or circus-like style the Norwegians adopted on their following albums.
 

Age of Eternal Night is a dark and immersive concept album that continues the story of the first album: 

The nameless pilgrim who descended into the darkness of an ancient tomb in the desert sands of Sumer - thirsting for forbidden knowledge and vampyric ascension. As he ultimately finds what he seeks and by the completion of profane and horrific rituals he finally transforms into an immortal ruler of darkness, blood and death. Breaking out of the forsaken depths of the netherrealm he unleashes unspoken horrors upon mankind - creating the primordial vampyric coven under the light of a blood moon. A

s the Gates of Ganzir open the death bells of Cuutha toll over blood stained sands - ushering in a new era of bloodshed and terror - an age of Vampyric Dominance - an Age of Eternal Night!

The album was once again recorded, mixed, and mastered by Mario Dahmen / Liquid Aether Audio. With the raw intensity and epic structure already present in their previous works, Age of Eternal Night stands out with an even denser atmosphere and a refined sonic balance. The production captures both the ferocious power of their Black Metal roots and the majestic, dark melodic grandeur that defines SUMERIAN TOMBS. Prepare to unlock the seal and embrace the Age of Eternal Night.
