Await the coming storm. Behold the sign in the sun. Chaos upon us spawn! The arrows of time pinpoint(s) us all. Oh, well the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories. Atoms like incense rising, like a thousand candles all blown out at once. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice breaks it. The spirit sails out on waters. An intergalactic sea of sorrow. Solemn oblivion with thee. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. It crawls toward the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. Twisted, this mortal flesh evoked again, with echoes still haunting; The curses chanting. Embrace the outcast state of chaos. After all its unalterable. Beweep this thought, then arise with wisdom, Nowhen I hallow in the gateway of different plains. Open your heart and let go. Oh Vanish. Divine infinity. Ah, this wraith I am. So many aeons ago since. Ah I suffer eternally. The inevitable did unfold. Oh well, a collection of particles held together by the force of a soul and its memory. Be warned (you stand) on the edge of infinity; Where coloured waves will lead the way into the void. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice. Oh well the maddening laughter growing louder with memories now. Atoms like incense thing. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. You are drawn towards the altar destined to collaps. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. In between the arrows of time I suffer eternally.

That is simply awesome. This performance completely gives back that is for me gives the essence of Arcturus - the madness that occures when one is trying to comprehend that he will die, and currently lives in a big, chaotic, ignorant universe without meaning, and he itself is a random "collection of particles hold together by a soul and its memory." =(

He says, "Thank you. As you can see we have the television here tonight, in black/white and beatiful colours. I guess we continue in a short while" Then he takes a short stroll around the scene and comes back and goes "La Masquerade, ayone? Chaos path? Exactly!"

Hey where are all you people commenting on this video? I agree that these guys are fuckin killer but I don't know anybody else that's heard of them besides people that I tell....Most likely because I live in Michigan, USA... Vortex is one of my favorite singers and I'm always drawn back to Arcturus... It is completely unique and to me compelling... I'm also a big fan of Hellhammer, his playing compliments the rest of the band, no matter what band he's playing in.....

They are an Avant-Garde band. But this band lines up Norvegian Black Metal superstars: Garm Wolf (singer (from Ulver)), Sverd (a well-known keyboardist form Norway for black metal bands), Hellhammer (drummer (from Mayhem)), Vortex (singer and bassist (from Dimmu Borgir and Borknagar)). Other awnsome albums for Avant-Garde: Arcturus: Aspera Hiems Symfonia, La Masquerade Infernale, The Sham Mirrors Covenant: Nexus Polaris Borknagar: Quintessence
