Arguably Arckanum is the founder of Troll metal, Shaamaatae, who performs raw blackmetal with some 1980s overtones. The lyrics are in an ancient Swedish dialect, he worships Pan and Kaos, he speaks to the trolls, he lives in the forest - this guy is a pure example of trollmetal. Troll metal is black metal music dealing with trolls, goblins and related subjects. ... The 1980s in its most obvious sense refers to the decade between 1980 and 1989. ... Marble sculpture of Pan copulating with a goat, recovered from Herculaneum Pan (Greek Παν, genitive Πανος) is the Greek god who watches over shepherds and their flocks. ... Trolls with an abducted princess (John Bauer, 1915) A troll is a fearsome member of a mythical anthropomorph race from Scandinavian folklore. ...
The albums Kostogher, Fran Marder and Kampen are part of a trilogy he's written.
ARCKANUM describes their sound as 'musically primitive, raw, medieval, grieved, and trollish.
ARCKANUM then entered Abyss Studio (where previously fellow Swedes DARK FUNERAL, and now ABRUPTUM recorded their masterpieces) to record their debut album 'Fran Marder' (From the Forest).
Simply put, ARCKANUM is not for everyone...it is only for those who live in the darkest forests, and wish to be amongst the Trolls!!!
Arckanum needs no introduction and Arckanum is the reason why I still listen to fl metal (everything else, with few exceptions seems to disapoint me nowadays).
In the end only Arckanum holds a great standard of quality (among with a few exceptions of course) and we can always rely that when a new Arckanum release is out, it will be better than the one that preceeds it.
Arckanums Spitælsker song which is the last track features guitars and some sort of wind-effect while Shamaatae growls the lyrics written by a fellow brother from MLO.
