After so many years, this is still my favorite band.

it's official, Arcturus is back together and touring! now all they need to do is bring out a new album - one that will hopefully make me forget Storm Seeker ever happened

Those dancers . . . 😍🤤

This is a masterpiece. Arcturus is one of the bands that can make your soul smile, and sometimes laught, with your mind, throught your ears.

Thumbs up if you think 1:40 to 4:15 is one of the best instrumentals ever made in the history of music. BTW i would love to take one of the lady dancers home... but that just my (kinda weird perhaps) taste :)

Best band ever! I can't even find enough words to describe how much i like their music....its pure cosmos! Soooo brilliant! 🙂

Garm and Vortex are easily two of the best vocalists I've ever heard.

in that part just close ur eyes and breath deep.This song is just beautifull. :)

I'd rather not see people insult themselves over a trivial matter such as liking or not some music. There are worse problems than that, right ? Civility costs nothing.

Absolute perfection, there will never be another band that could be as good as Arcturus at what they did.

One of the best song i ever heard, and one of the best band i ever met... I hope Arcturus will come in Serbia soon...

the angels all stone passing their years hoping to be saved from oblivion ...by oblivion so fuckin great this part :O

He devastated me. Yup, with his voice! Utterly brilliant!

I talked to Vortex after a Dimmu show and he said there is a strong possibility that Arcturus will be getting back together soon.

LO MAXIMO ARCTURUS!!! FUE UN ORGULLO TOCAR UN COVERS DE USTEDES!! GRANDE EL AVANT GARDE Y GRANDE ARCTURUS POR SIEMPRE!!! Gracias por subir tan maravilloso video de tan gran conciertaso!!! mil saludos desde Chile!!!

try meeting Vortex in real life... its hilarious, hes so nice! I got a picture, and he threw his hair over my face, and ... took the picture.....

Hellfest 2012 !!!! YYYYYeeeeaaahhhhh

Smoke and laughter.

Favorite band ever!!!

I love Delirium and Delight! So sad I never got to see Arcturus live!

More people should watch this

Love it

I have stumbled onto something I really enjoy. Thank you, youtube

Arcturus will be back.

That's a masterclass performance!!

Que canción, extremadamente buena!!!

Who doesnt love Delirium and Delight? And offcourse Arcturus hehe. I hope they will have a reunion!

best performance ever!

yeh they disbanded in a concert in australia!in that concert Vortex said "Welcome to the last Arcturus show ever!" ;_;

My favourite Arcturus song

Thank you! I love this band equally, whether Garm or Simen is singing.

Yes it's him! And he's great!

great music guys! :)

Its so fuckin awesome!!!!!! I just love that band! I cant describe the feeling when I lisening Arcturus! Awesome

Hey Knut loses his hat at the beggining when he headbangs! Ahahah.

excelente sonido

that's some sexy bass and synth

vortex is hilarious...i like his stage acting...

i totally agree here ^^

any band Simen has ever been in has been pretty good. Borknagar, Lamented Souls, Dimmu and Arcturus. Somone said he was in Code, but they have a big fat message that reads "SIMEN HESTNAES IS NOT IN CODE" Anyhow, I

@blacktepes LMAO yeah he does. Salutes the crowd and just walks off the stage. Hilarious!

4:06-4:46 my favorite part

Очень люблю Арктурус🖤🤟🏻

I think Garm was the guy that came up with the nickname when Simen joined (or was recommended to audition for) Borknagar

Maravillosa canción! VORTEX Y HELLHAMMER gods! \m/

You're the second person I've seen say that they broke up in 2004. According to wiki, they disbanded last year while touring in Australia. Heck, Sideshow Symphonies was released in 2005!

@SharDarksoul I agree. I think that's because they can't understand how good is Arcturus music.

Cool

The angels all stone, passing their years Hoping to be saved from oblivion By oblivion great!

Hail Arcturus !!!! \m/

Vortex shall be backing vocals in Amon Amarth

hahaha...vortex is so stupid at the end...gotta love him ..and HH too!

The problem is the mind of some people that cant understand that masterpiece, this is avantgard black,death,trash,heavy metal what else,this is realy good music,Exploring new paths,innovating,have the courage to create something new and good,with no boundaries.The merge of electronics and analog.This is true metal,not the kind of metal who try to reach a large people in more commercial tunes.P.S if u dont like Vortex voice just listens to BORNAGAR LP URD and maybe u will change ur perpective.

Yep

Garm sings on the record, but I see your point :) Both are amazing singers.

nobody sings like vortex, he is a god

Someone please take the apples offered by the pretty jester women! XD They seem to offer them to everyone around them.

@Faunul no, he's back as main for Borknagar and Vintersorg is doing their backing vox (and that IS truth)

nice buffon

avant garde metal.

Vortex is #1

@BurialWarlock You're right, about the name -that I writed wrong, sorry- and about the fact that you can't do a comparaison like that. That's my point, Arcturus is not the same music stlye as Slipknot, so musically you can't compare them. Anyways, each person have its preferences -for exemple there are people saying that rap is music and thinking it's good music, so...

you betcha

i prefer dimmu's sound... but i didn't know arcturus before... This is just fuckin awesome!! sick, strange music... i like it... I think every member of dimmu has a very good side project! Old Man's Child, Chrome Division, Arcturus... Dimmu guys are all talented musicians...

la raja

@nilespell I completely agree.

it just normal artcturus has a unusual genre

it's same thing... I think it's more like just Vortex in Dimmu Borgir... That ICS means 'Ice-cold Simen', his somekind of nickname.. I don't remember who invented the name, but whatev'! :D He's ICS Vortex or he's just Vortex.. We know, who's the guy we are talking about :P

Vortex is the shit. All in one.

Yes, and I know, that nobody cares, but in the title, it should say "live".

fuck yeah it is....

@Gatitasecsii Vortex was the only highlight of this pitiful DB album called 'In sorte diaboli'.

@jicolombia, Well ive been told different by arcturus fans. Apparently you can compare them if you want.

It seems that Sverd doesn't have a band at the time, unless I'm badly informed ^^ And yeah, he's amazing.

Who cares actually. It's one of the brightest of the northern sky, case closed. It's Arcturus as a band we're supposed to discuss here, not the star ;)

i ja ih slusam

WOAH WOAH are you serious? That's fantastic news

@bookworm1138 what about lamented souls

im sorry i dont even think this. I was just trying to piss off this guy who's telling me it's fact that arcturus are better than slipknot and i said no its opinion and blah blah blah. I completely agree with you.

the best musicians are those who innovate not follow. Arcturus sides with the former.

@streetrulez Because he is a viking descent!?

If you like Garm so much, listen to Ulver.

I cannot describe the feeling I get when listening to the MUSIC!!! Where are the Black Metal-style vox? Not used to this....:(

damn!! who gives a fuck about arcturus music genre? that's only one thing which matter: this is fucking awesome !!!!!!

@nahkamatelija666 He, Vortex gives them so much versatility. I mean I love the song My Angel with Garm. But Damn the eccentric innovation. The artistry just mind blowing. This band with Vortex is so damn underrated!!!! The only non Vortex song I like is "My Angel in 1991 when Steinar Sverd Johnsen was the leader but that was WAY long ago. Vortex just goes far beyond as he rules. Is the 2012 get together that I am hearing with Vortex true really true??

@BurialWarlock they're diferent types of music, How can you even compare 'em?

Oookaaay? I've heard the EXACT opposite! A friend of mine almost got punched by him just for complimenting his singing. He was very drunk though... Both of them that is...

Garm always had the deeper and stronger and natural voice. Vortex sounds 'tinny' and to 'try hard' in comparison

Oh porque no puedo conseguir una playera de arcturus!!!!!

@BurialWarlock Hey comparing Slipknot to Arcturus its like comparing elementary school to university. Arcturus are masters of music.

hehe! Guess I'll just have to get used to it!:)

oh no his hat fell off at 0:07

for a second i thought you said you would kill vortex.. and i was gonna say, WHY?!?!?! hes so nice! :) BUt u didnt. so all is good.

No need to call me a prophet ;) New album coming out this year !!! hell yeah Regards. 666

I'm (quite) new to Arcturus (Or anything ICS's has been in) does he do any high notes that are not falsetto?

Why does the title of this video not say that this is live?

Vortex has a lot of effects on his voice in Dimmu Borgir, here in Arcturus it wasn't modified. Imho he did better singing with Arcturus.

Seems that she hurt your feelings too, since you're answering, 4 months later. Now keep it civil.

@RandallRojasAndres what?

Why would anyone upload an un-synced video?
