Chaos Gnostic Black Magic.
ARCKANUM BIOGRAPHY
| After been
the drummer of the great black metal band CONQUEST/GROTESQUE (which now
is widely known) I got into magick and Satanism. Satan was an interesting
philosophy for me a while, but didn't bring all the aspects that I was
looking for at the time. From the old fashion "Necronomicon"
book to witchcraft to Chaos-theory, I ended up entangled in nature mysticism
and old folklore. Myself and my brothers (whom participates on songs like
"Bærghet" and "Gangar for Raþan Vinder")
have strolled in deep forests, stood on mountains under the night's northern
lights, sacrificed et cetera, in search for our true nature, realities
and deities. And we found Pan - great god of nature. After years, I and
my brother Sataros started a death metal band called ABSORPTION. We went
on for a while but never found the real sound (probably because we sucked.)
We renamed the band to DISENTERMENT and found a new guitarist named Basse.
The trio recorded a demo, which is unreleased to this day. We had around
twenty gigs, with Unleashed and Unanimated to name a few. DISENTERMENT
died in 1993. During the ending process of DISENTERMENT I got deep into
black metal (again), and started a one-man project, ARCKANUM. 1992 I was
on my way to the climax of magical worlds and I had a new vision about
which path I was born under, and I was very displeased with the world
that I was living in. I wanted to found new thoughts for lost soldiers,
to point out the direction to a world of Chaos -where Pan sits upon the
throne and spread Chaotic freedom to the free-thinking soldiers who do
not accept to be controlled and enslaved by others, and not be able to
rule over their own lives. So I started the band ARCKANUM to spread the
message of Chaos. First I lone Sataros from Sartaros Grief and Loke Svarteld
to join the band because I didn't think I could pull it through myself.
But after the first demo "Demo-93", I continued by my own. And
the only reason for why I continued by myself, was that, after a while
practicing all instruments, I found out to be able to perform all, including
vocals, by myself. And I recorded the second demo "Trulen" in
1994, which sold pretty good and it got some good words too. Later on
the black magical path of Pan led me deeper into Satanism and eventually
to gnosis of Chaos-Gnosticism. This made a huge new path for ARCKANUM
and me, and the new anti-cosmic and satanic creations of ARCKANUM were
made, for example "Boka Vm Kaos" and "Kaos Svarta Mar".
I like it simple, fast and esoteric, and I think it fits better with the
ancient tongue, therefore I chose to write all lyrics in ancient Swedish.
The music itself is some kind of Black/Death Metal with lots of influences
from the 80´s - when music was good! I do not try to perform as
complex and adept as possible; because I think that my music style shall
be dirty & thrashing. |
