ARCTURUS will forever be haunted by their past. Having put out a record like "La Masquerade Infernale", an inarguable classic and one of the cornerstones of this whole "post-black metal" genre, all subsequent releases will be held up to it for comparison and critique.

How much more self-conscious orc rock can you fit into your Viking helmet? Not to be confused with the half-decent Canuck '80s metal outfit of "Metalized" and "Sweet Dreams" fame, these guys are an altogether more unwashed and skunk-weed-reeking prospect.
