Norwegian super-group.......2007-04-21

After hearing about Arcturus long ago, and hearing that it is melodic black (my favorite genre) with symphonic elements, I rushed to get this. That was 2 years ago, and now, after one again listening to this treasure, I am hooked.

Containing members of Ulver and The Kovenant, you could imagine their sound if you mixed "Nexus Polaris" with "Stormblast" and "Bergtatt". Flurries of cold, Nordic riffs blanketed by sorrowful symphonic melodies dance in your head, while the landscape of black and melodic death metal influences switches back and forth. Even if you dont like folk influenced music, I dare you to try this. I havent liked anything this good since Storm of the Lights Bane and Ashes Againts the Grain.

If you enjoyed this, I suggest Omnium Gatherum, Skyfire, and Insomnium as well.

Black star shines the brightest.......2006-11-06

Anyone familiar with the idea of theatrical Black Metal is certainly aware of Arcturus' Aspera hiems Symfonia. Always a great album, this Reissue makes it even better with a remaster and the addition of some promo tracks, demos, and the My Angel EP. The remastering was a great job, you can definitely hear all the instruments and voices fully for the first time and it still has that "middle of the road" production necessary for the true black metal experience. The whole album is very dark, epic, and has a cinematic element. As you listen to it from beginning to end, you feel as though you've been taking a journey from freezing northern shores into the heart of a frozen forest and back. Arcturus truly capture the theme of nordic darkness. The keyboards are not the usual symphonic overkill we've gotten used to with bands like Dimmu Borgir or Cradle of Filth. Rather the keyboards serve as the snow falling on the thick Scandinavian woods of the double bass and thin guitars. Great vocals too, they alternate between choral chanting and a screeching wail. This is Arcturus at their darkest, before they switched to avant-garde mode they were black metal heavyweights with a true flair for the theatrical. Highly recommended.

Belongs in the metal hall of fame!!!.......2005-03-17

This album is surreal. What makes this album really worth it ,is the extra tracks such as Morax, Deep is the Skies and the original version of Raudt Og Svart. Get it!

Those who aspire infinetly !!!.......2004-08-16

the great Arcturus "Aspera Hiems..." album re-released and remastered along with ultra rare early singles. first of all, the cover and overall graphic design is a stunning vision of aurora borealis colours, bones, text ripped from books of magik and science, and the surface of the moon. the classic "Aspera..." album sounds great remastered. it def. beefs up the sound from the charmingly thinly produced original...but it doesn't beef it up *too* much. the second disc contains the rare early Arcturus stuff and it all sounds pretty neat. for those of us who were not lucky enough to pick up the originals, it's great to get a listen to some of these tracks. it's interesting to me to listen to how almost "goth" sounding that alot of the early stuff sounds. in fact, it sounds more like an un-realized, less bizzare version of alot of the material the band would later do on the metal space opera album "La Masquarade Infernale." there's even a few filler tracks from those sessions thrown on here "for your amusement only" (as the liner notes say). this is a great release for lovers of dark, spacey, mystik metal. long live Arcturus.

Great Album.......2004-01-30

I just received this album on thurday, and I must say. This is definately Arcturus's best album. Hellhammer does some great drumming, Garm does great vocals. This whole album is great. The My Angel and Constellation EP's on disc to are great, I like Constellations slightly better. My Favorite track on the album is "Whence and Whither Goest the Wind". Wintry Grey is an extremely good song also.
