ICFOUJNCBEIWRTBWWVERFCX VORTEX is great!! :P

 (ICS VORTEX)

[FubraDrums]

I love this dvd, you get alot of old classics with the sideshow symphonies recording quality. It's great

[mike666235]

Getting Way With Murder

[juuhaa1]

HH is Great!

[Kudiz]

In whatever band Vortex plays in, his voice will forever remind me of borknagar

[Morfeusm]

Sorry, this is dislike from me

[bbelilovsky]

@Morfeusm ok thanks for informing everyone

[Nanaa356]

AWSOME VOICE !

[Medvich]

Weren't they doing a 2011/12 tour? Does someone have the dates?

[CarlosH1982]

Is there available a DVD of this?, where (or how) can I get it?.

[pablometal12]

@CarlosH1982 it´s called "Shipwrecked In Oslo"

[DIONY5O5]

He seems to have alot of spliss in his hair i guess...

I have the same problem...

[DarkBass93]

Check out Simen's new Work with ICS Vortex ...

[ajblazin]

@DarkBass93 simens is ics vortex

[SATANECRONOMICUS]

Become one of my favorite bands :D

[MrElsamaka]

the true essence of black metal, dark deep complex music and philosophy

[GolliwoggMusic]

Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

[fybelectric]

too bad you cant understand the singer

[guitardeadsociety]

Check out my song rendition of Edgar Allan Poe's "Alone" on my channel. It's very different, but I wrote it way before I'd even heard of Arcturus. 

I think it's pretty good though.

Btw, most of my other videos on my channel suck, so don't even bother looking at them.

[Postscriptnow]

I think that metal music is poorer for having a band the caliber of Arcturus not doing what it does best and that is producing music that pushes the boundaries of metal.

[matizamachowiec]

Arcturus never goes out!!!

[unorthodoxmu]

Is the bassist trying to hide? Show yourself up dude wth

[Ranma16ful]

You are an asshole I hate you! hopefully will always go wrong sorry but your empesastes Puerto Ricans and nobody messes! haci be careful that we did not stay with Boricuas anything from anyone you care to look for stones under buuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaa be sure of! Danger !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Misanthropicalist]

Arcturus kicks so much ass. I cannot even think of a band that is close in resembling this sound. Different. Original and pretty much rules! Vortex does not get the respect for being innovative. Look at his past bands. lament souls. Borknangar etc. The difference between them i great. That is talent!!

[whoiswhobutwho]

I like this better than the album version

[thecubemaster]

He is never off key. Amazing.

[MissEgasMoniz]

Outstanding band - all of them great players. The drum kit trigger sound gets a bit old, but HH does it better than most no matter what.

[gallan30]

1:25 is spine chilling...

[7sky726on6]

Blasphemous HAILS!!! ARCTURUS...The drummer is bloody insane. I'd sell my soul to see Arcturus live..The whole band has so much diabolical might...I love every symphonious creation...-l-...

[killernazis]

muy buena cancion

[TheMetalKid9]

I am listening to this song on a computer with no right speaker and I can barely hear the guitar. They don't need the guitar at all. It would still be a piece of beautiful art.

[Husapi]

best drum intro ever

[Neueregel]

Saw Arcturus twice back in 2005 (with Theater of Tragedy for support) I guess that makes me a lucky motherfuker

[keylllogdark]

@Neueregel is he Mustis??...

[Neueregel]

@keylllogdark who?

[keylllogdark]

@Neueregel the keyboardist...

[Neueregel]

@keylllogdark I think Sverd is the keyboardist. Not Mystis

[vikingthrone345]

@Neueregel u sir are one lucky bastard

[Neueregel]

@vikingthrone345 nah..just being in the right place, the right time. and I had to travel 1000 KM in a day to see them for the first time

[mosh1021]

That's a hell of a song. One of my favorites. From a edgar allan poe poem. Still kicking ass.

[ChrisAdlerWannaBe]

the bad sucks, but hellhammer is a beast, thats why i looked at this, but ill still give thumbs up

[lotsametalandhumor]

@ChrisAdlerWannaBe The band sucks? what are u, high? Vortex is one of the best vocalists out there, and even though i do not know the other members by name, they do their job and contribute a great atmospheric feel to every song. Arcturus is an amazing band, glad Vortex is done with Dimmu so they can come back.

[teufelstaub]

@lotsametalandhumor Steinar (Sverd) Johnsen=keys/ Jan Axel Blomberg (Hellhammer)=drums/Knut Magne Valle =guitars (on right of stage)/Hugh Mingay=bass/ Tore Moren =guitars (left side of stage)/Simen Hestnaes (ICS Vortex)=vocals...and the poem is from Edgar Allen Poe.

[hardXcoreXrainbow]

This guy is freaking awesome; I love his voice !

[bloodmachine9]

Hellhammer and those damned triggers.

[MrAlucard222]

@bloodmachine9 To be honest with you i don't like triggers, but they fit perfectly with the space style by Arcturus... In Winds, for example, Hellhammer don't use triggers and he's perfect... Depends on what type of band he plays... However, Hellhammer is the best and most complete drummer on planet...

[bloodmachine9]

@MrAlucard222 Ok, I can give you that, I don't know much about him outside of Mayhem. I am a huge Mayhem fan, and don't get me wrong, Hellhammer's bad ass, triggers or not.

[MrAlucard222]

@bloodmachine9 In Mayhem he abandoned triggers on all the drum's kit, and in Ordo Ad Chao he use triggers only in the double bass... You don't know his many bands?!? Bad thing my friend! ;) Buy quickly these albums: Arcturus-all discography, Shining-The Eerie Cold + Angst, Winds-Prominence And Demise + all discography, Age Of Silence-all discography, Mezzerschmitt-Weltherrschaft, Jorn Lande-Worldchanger, The Kovenant-Nexus Polaris + Animatronic + Seti, Carnivora-Judas, Thorns-Thorns, NEXT

[bloodmachine9]

@MrAlucard222 Oh no, I knew he drummed for a ton of bands, in fact I may ask him to drum for Blood Machine..lol. But yeh, didn't know of this one, I like Thorns-Thorns, Angst-P&D, don't like Shining, music is just ok and that singer and Maniac's antics on stage they could spare us the idiotcy, though I am a big Maniac fan, but Shining gets on my nerves.. I'll check out some of the other bands. I think one is a white metal band? I won't listen to that.

[MrAlucard222]

@bloodmachine9 NEXT Antestor-Det Tapte Liv + The Forsaken, Dimmu Borgir-Stormblast 2005 remastered + In Sorte Diaboli, Troll-The Last Predators + Universal... For know completely Hellhammer, people must hear his many different bands, from black metal to avant-garde, progressive to heavy, industrial to classic, death to symphonic, with triggers and without, and so on... You will discover by yourself why Jan Axel von Blomberg is the fastest, most technical and complete drummer on earth... Enjoy...

[bloodmachine9]

@MrAlucard222 Yeh, I already knew he was the best drummer around. I'm his age, I 've been around and in bands just as long. I even own a rare rare copy of Deathcrush. I will check out some of the other bands.

[MillenniumDarknes666]

This song and Vortexs voice just give me a fucking EARGASM!!!! *_*

[assbean182]

Jesus Vortex is awesome, but i can't decide if i like Arcturus or Borknagar more.

[RicardoGadelha]

@assbean182 i like both in different ways. Imho, cant compare =)

[qgloafhun]

@assbean182

Jesus is Vortex?

[TheSonsofHorusx]

epic key lines

[91Tribual]

"heeeeeaaaawaaa...from childhoods hour"

[MrWormlock]

Hellhammer's always drumming for everybody

[MrAlucard222]

@MrWormlock And it's a fantastic thing, don't you think? We are lucky to hear the best metal-rock drummer in a lot of different bands... Like Andy Winter (Winds awesome keyboarder) said, "We want the best, and Hellhammer is the best"...

[tyrulvsson]

@MrWormlock thats because real gods support humanity

[Illnathftfw]

Hellhammer is fuckin insane. Just listen to the db pedals, so perfect. Vortex is fucking awesome as well.

[LukosMelanos]

How the fuck Hellammer doesn't lost himself in this drumset ?...

[MightyGarogh]

@LukosMelanos He has before, but... he's human, he is a terrific drummer anyway.

[deulven]

How can there be people who don't like this??

I think they are regaytoneros...

[marinoswtftw]

long live arcturus!!soon we'll see you again!!!

[NocturnalKiller]

how is it possible to play double-bass that fast that long?

[beforeiforget1994]

@NocturnalKiller years of practice!! :)

[NocturnalKiller]

@beforeiforget1994

yeah,well,I've been practicing (playing) football for years and I'm not nearly as good as Messi!

so,practice is not the answer here :)

[beforeiforget1994]

@NocturnalKiller it's not the same !!!! if u like what u are doing in music and practise seriously for a long time u'll become a professional! And also if u practise and u have a natural talent for ur music u'll become a professional sooner than he untalented guy... so... u'll have more time to practise!!! :) sorry for bad english!

[Mullethead666]

@NocturnalKiller Some shit is just a natural talent.

[91Tribual]

@Mullethead666 illustrating at 2:54

[MrAlucard222]

@beforeiforget1994 And "maybe" you have to be "a little" talented for drums...

[BillyWigmore]

@NocturnalKiller he isnt human.

[Sethekk]

Hm, I really dont think Vortex is that amazing :S

[GrexornasTid]

@Sethekk - fuck off shagrath, you are piss of untallented shit - dressed gay, HEIL VORTEX AND HELLHAMMER

[fadetoblack68]

there is 2 different styles of metal, gay and brutal, this is most diff brutal and vortex's voice just cannot be beaten !!!!

[joelakastud123]

@fadetoblack68 i cant say i totally agree with that with all the different styles of metal some brutal some softer that are all great

[joelakastud123]

the only problem is that the music kinda over does his voice

dunno if its just vid quality or what

but other than that this is amazing

[juuhaa1]

Hail,Steinar Sverd Johnsen!

[NocturnalKiller]

first time I heard this song was 2 days ago and from then 'till now I've listened it about 7856 times over and over again... fucking masterpiece,even better than album version!

[mrsupertron]

@NocturnalKiller  Agreed but if you listen to the entire La Masquerade Infernale album that the studio version fits in so well. That entire record is probably the best and the others are all masterpieces. Check out The Chaos Path. Vortex sings on that track and the entire Sideshow Symphonies album.

[NocturnalKiller]

@mrsupertron I did listen to the album and I still think that this live version is better. And drums can be heard better also hehehe :)

[mrsupertron]

@NocturnalKiller Vortex is the best. 

[guitardeadsociety]

This is originally an Edgar Allan Poe poem, for those of you who don't know... the cool thing is, that I also turned it into a song... but I was 12... (I am currently 15) I had never heard of Arcturus, so I'm not ripping them off, and it's pretty demonic, but nothing like this... haha, nothing is as good as Arcturus.. but I think my version is pretty good.

[juancheorion]

@guitardeadsociety Dude you should record it once and upload it to youtube!

[guitardeadsociety]

@juancheorion I deffinitely will, it's not black metal though... but it's pretty good. Can't sing for shit though.



[thumorak]

vortex

[heinion]

the voice of Vortex is one of the greatest clean voice i know

[luccasmaso]

1:50 Antonio Nunes

[melrojohnn]

amazing!

[daSultanDaHab]

was the singer drunk while singing???

[00heavymetalislife00]

Simen is fucking awesome, he could sing anything!

[BlanchardArmand]

Good Song!

[ArcaneMystery]

Didn't know, Vortex was able to growl!

[SharDarksoul]

@ArcaneMystery

Look up some old Borknagar, he screams/shrieks pretty often there.

[pepetrueno1967]

they need fucking ABBA doing choirs,this video looks to me like those videos from the 80's with Poison or Motley crue trying to play metal.dumbass vocals sound like SPONGEBOB WITH HANGOVER

[ozzyosbournefan666]

@pepetrueno1967

if you think poe is spongebob with hangover , okay...

[truthwillbetoldjig]

@pepetrueno1967 Shut your spic ass up nigga.

[pepetrueno1967]

@truthwillbetoldjig Fuck yourself fucking embryo! go and wipe your ass off you dumb fuck! you have no idea what real music is. this nigga or spic? will fuck your mom and all your sisters, in their asses.and to you? a fucking broom stick up your butt

[joelakastud123]

@truthwillbetoldjig ebonics in my metal video!?

its more likely than you think

[xMontyxx]

Vortex is the 17th Colossus

[MaxReinsch]

A reference to Shadow of the collosus perhaps?

[xMontyxx]

@MaxReinsch Of course haha

[MaxReinsch]

Good man. The team ico games are fantastic.

[thavador]

the singing giant

[xxxskat34lifexxx]

they seem like such a fun band to see

[passionoflovers]

Hellhammer is fast.. And that's it..

When he doesn't play at the speed of light, he is sloppy and untight!

[MrAlucard222]

@passionoflovers You obviously don't know nothing about drums... Hellhammer is the fastest and most technical metal drummer, so fuck off...

[TheMischaMarie]

Vortex is awesome!!!

[samnothin]

lmao sounds exactly like squidward tentacles

[estebancorps2010]

lo mejoir di lo mejor

[flextoneibanez]

This band is the best one I never heard of! MotherFuckin Hellhammer and the dudes really kick some fuckin ass. I wish I could have been at this show. Unreal......

Oh yeah Vortex is one of the best metal singers of all time.....

[ElegyForTheMasses]

@flextoneibanez Garm originally sung this song

[ElegyForTheMasses]

@ElegyForTheMasses By the way, I just realized these lyrics are Poe

[zdlrrebel]

anyone know what the first line is? the lyrics i found start from "from childhood's hour" which is the second.

[nocturnaldep99]

hell hammer is so ftw

[ak74srthebest0909]

vortex is god!!!!!!

[marinoswtftw]

the only thing i regret for this song its that its only 4 minutes

[YngviBlood]

Vortex has just a perfect voice

[redcarpetday]

Poe and such elegant metal put together. Perfection! I hope they do come back, I would be so happy.

[Kole777]

Damn, Vortex can sing his ass off.

[StickManga]

some kickass shit this is!

[Defekcija]

wow, this is awesome!!! Last songs I heard from Arcturus, were morax and my angel from that True kings of norway cd. I didn't know that Vortex and Hellhammer are in this band. shame on me...

even though I liked that depression, this is great, I love it!

[l3fiactuz]

absolutely perfect!

[MMMAAAYYYHHHEEEMMM]

fuckin eh, Hellhammer is an animal

[ChaseFrad]

i own this dvd ive watched about 20 times now i cant stop watching it so great \m/

[matizamachowiec]

I love this vocal!!

[zacjar12]

great fucking band =D

[TTSFI]

How can anyone not like Arcturus? What a fantastic band.

[FacetiousPalaver]

They sound better live it seems

[Neueregel]

Some Intelligent Black Metal & lyrics : Borknagar, early Arcturus, Emperor, Vintersorg, Virus, Dodheimsgard, Fleurety, Thorns, late Mayhem. I usually dislike most black metal but the above bands have Little or No Cheese at all.

[RammsCarvalho]

@ dpdilla

You can consider yourself a lucky one!

Even when he sings for fun in DB dvd's, he shows a natural voice.

[dpdilla]

aside from being super talented, he is very nice and personable. i met him when dimmu first toured the US and he was amused that not only had i heard la masquerade infernale, but that i liked it so much. he sang a few bars and i was shocked at how perfect his pitch was.

a word to wise, go to concerts early, especially if they're non-mainstream bands. chances are you'll end up meeting, possibly even hanging out with the band.

[mineralturbo]

so as your mother.

[dimwitpickle]

man, i mean. i love the people in this band. the music is really cool but... the singer cant come up with any good melodies. he sounds like a dick

[SATANRULEzzzz]

@LemoraGore Totally agree with you

[Hanskfheag]

Vortex is the best.

No discussion.

[LemoraGore]

Agreed!

[SATANRULEzzzz]

I would give anything to attend this concert. Vortex is my #1 !!!!!

[SATANRULEzzzz]

without vortex dimmu borgir would be complete garbage

[LemoraGore]

now that they fired both Vortex and Mustis , dot look for me buying any more Dimmu Borgir CDs...

[icketypickety]

has anyone listened to green carnation's 'alone'........absolutely melodic..did they do the cover of arcturus or is it the other way around

[SharDarksoul]

They didn't. Alone is a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe.

[icketypickety]

i found that out dude,thanks anyway

[RammsCarvalho]

Vortex and Hellhammer must work together and back with Arcturus. Or any other project as powerful as this!

Excellent songs!

[Kronkorkenkoter]

The vocalist pwns! ( Vortex )

The drummer kicks ass! (Hellhammer)

(lol)

[dayidify]

And don't forget Sverd! I love his compositions.

He also did synths with Covenant (now The Kovenant).

hs

[Blackfall234]

Hellhammer is the drummer ? lol

[Manubagronk]

Absolutely, I´m fucked up but I think that these musicians smoke the good one.

[krakljak]

@Kronkorkenkoter VORTEX IS THE SINGER??? NO FUCKING WAY!

[capatrue]

@Kronkorkenkoter The keyboard player kicks ass too (Steinar)

[bokuroker]

@Kronkorkenkoter couldn't have it any other way

[szpachla666]

From childhood's hour I have not been

As others were - I have not seen

As others saw - I could not bring

My passions from a common spring

From the same source I have not taken

My sorrow; I could not awaken

My heart to joy at the same tone;

And all I lov'd, I lov'd alone

Then - in my childhood - in the dawn

Of a most stormy life - was drawn

[strgaltdelete]

in my opinion there is no better male voice (vortex)

[wolfboii999]

i think it's better when that other guy does this song (pardon my ignorance to names)

[javierlocutor]

Garm (the other vocalist)

[subwaytosally0111]

This is great music ♥♪♥♪♥♪

[ftandwf]

Continue... Del torrente, o la fuente, Del risco rojo de la montaña, Del sol que giraba alrededor de mí En su otoño teñido de oro, Del rayo en el cielo Cuando pasaba volando cerca de mí, Del trueno y la tormenta, Y la nube que tomó la forma (Cuando el resto del cielo era azul) De un demonio ante mi vista.

[ftandwf]

Desde el tiempo de mi infancia no he sido Como otros eran, no he visto Como otros veían, no pude traer Mis pasiones de una simple primavera. De la misma fuente no he tomado Mi pesar, no podría despertar Mi corazón al júbilo con el mismo tono; Y todo lo que amé, yo lo amé solo. Entonces -en mi infancia- en el alba De la vida más tempestuosa, se sacó De cada profundidad de lo bueno y lo malo El misterio que todavía me ata:

[ftandwf]

¡¡¡¡¡¡EXELENTE!!!!!!!!

excellently defined....

[zetamanya]

he strides before you on water, he makes clowns of kings, charms the guests, rides the ball.... No sabia que ARCTURUS era tan grande en Chile. Cheers from Uruguay

[b3nf1tzg3ra1d]

And hellhammer is kicking ASS on this song!

[Azgaut]

on facebook Vortex said that ",in 2010, Arcturus back!" so i guess he's with em
