Arcturus - Painting my Horror

[yukikodethmetal666]

awesome...just awesome

[SATANECRONOMICUS]

Arcturus is more satanically aesthetic than any of those devil-worshiping black metal bands.

[mechtech256]

I love how literally they take black metal's theatricality.

[SATANECRONOMICUS]

drats i needed to be at this show.

[kitzukiuchiwa2]

it was a daaaaaaaaaaark niiiiiiiiight

[MrVinterstorm]

I love you Arcturus... the greatest avant-garde band in the world...

[alejandro0841]

uuffff en el minuto 3:15 aproximadamente cambia la voz sonando a la legendaria banda de rock progresivo Yes !!" .....pero en general son musicos que sin duda estan entre lo mejor del Metal Avant-gatde.........Saludos desde Colombia !!

[SATANECRONOMICUS]

It is as if their music is a compliment to the renaissance of the medieval masters before them...hundreds of years ago.

[VycDarkshadow]

4:59 "Forget these goofy jester caps, let's windmill for the fans!"

[TheFford3]

poopoopadoopdoop

[yukikodethmetal666]

kick ass song. kick ass band. AWESOME.

[mitchell0406]

i seriously fucking love vortex

but i think garms version of this song is better

[skyrra]

vortex: awesome singer--not the best growler.

[nilespell]

you know i am also a huge therion fan as well as a fan of arcturus and i just have to say i fuckin love belly dancers!!!

[joelakastud123]

the 2 chicks dancing around during the interlude...

only arcturus right? but personally i love them for that

the whole old time baroque vibes gotta love it

[91Tribual]

the guitarsolo sets me in trance

[MetalMoe187]

This band died when Garm left. As suspected, a live performance would come of cheesy, if not handle properly...

[CronicDisarray]

the part at around 2:50 must be the cutest thing I've seen in a metal concert ever! Arcturus ftw!

[Ghul]

One of my all time favors!

[Mavsebavse]

ahhhhhhhhhhh!!

[monarkc]

it was wasted talent in DImmu he is much better in Borknagar or Arcturus

[dimmuftw69]

Standard Tuning or what?

[billnoceros]

@dimmuftw69 Tore (les paul guy) is tuned: B E A D F# B. Knut plays a seven string tuned: B E A D G B E. Hugh Mingay's bass is tuned: B E A D G

[xdeadairspacex]

Oi....Vortex..... I swear- if he would to sing for some of the shitty pop bands out there- I wouldn't mind cause his voice is just....SEXY. I know Vortex is focused on Metal and such- but I would like to hear a calibration with Vortex and Rammstein. Hell- if Rammstein is merge t.A.t.u, I'd like to hear Vortex come in there. Rammstein in their live performances- as Vortex with his Opera sexiness.

Or hell, just make an Opera with Vortex in it. I'd love to see that. XD

[damaged01]

Vortex's falsettos make me cream my pants every time I hear them.

[ZZombyWooff]

@damaged01 now that's gay

[FinlandsThunder]

God damn vortex has INCREDIBLE range. Then the windmilling jesters lulz

[masteryoca13]

first time checking out these guys, interesting so far.... reminds me of my dying bride's earlier stuff.

[freackize]

i have only 2 words for Vortex

THE BEST

[dimmuftw69]

3:53 Boner-rific! Idk why but I like this live version w/ Vortex better

[ThePoopLoser123]

They should put Shipwrecked in Oslo on cd. Its a great show

[ZuoLuoT]

@ThePoopLoser123 It does exist dude, go buy it at once !

[kravandal]

the best is Dimmu Boegir!!!!!!

[strgaltdelete]

vortex is so goddamn good cO

[KenjaminIII]

\m/

[RedCovers]

HELLHAMMER!

[NoricuM666]

better than studio version i love the vocals here

[Goth666100]

Takk skal dere faen meg ha !....xD slutten er rå !

[delfine83]

Try making an experiment.... close youre eyes, and fall down in too the music. I guarantee a weard but wonderfull feeling

[metalgodDC]

@delfine83 If you fall asleep and then wake up hearing them will sound wery wierd! XD

[RammsCarvalho]

Considering Silenoz uses to write lyrics based on his own thoughts, I think is Silenoz himself who writes all the whole lyric, including clean parts. Besides, all DB clean vocal parts seem to reveal the meaning of the lyric. Kind of a personal statement. And Vortex was the best chosen emissary for Silenoz's thoughts!

[RammsCarvalho]

Anyway, Vortex is unique. Just check out his Dimmu Borgir works! He is not like anyone and he doesn't need to be. And he knows this! MASTER!

[faygohomie69]

What I want to know, is did Vortex or Slienoz write the lyrics for Simen's clean vocals in DB. Cuz I know Silenoz wrote thge lyrics for DB in general but did he do it for Simen's parts too?

[MrHeavyMetalx]

sounds like Dimmu but less insane

[garrett1118]

are you fuckin serious? dimmu is shit compared to arcturus

[God670]

@garrett1118 I wouldn't agree, but I have too say after what they did honestly there full of shit know.

[freackize]

simply the best

[BlacktoryProject]

Vortex is good in his own right, but he really shouldn't try to imitate Garm. No one can do it.

[svitantti]

Maybe he is just singing the songs that were originally Garms...

[angroment]

just that guy from Vultures industries :D

[FatiferumJH]

3:52 eargasms!!! aaaaaaaaa!!!

[joral37]

masters

[fulgore15051991]

vortex rules!!!!!!!!!!

[WolfLikeLamb]

poor bassist overshadowed, literally.

arcturus rules.

[theyesofthedevil]

do you think our good freind simen got a bit of sugar on the side from delerium and delight lol

lucky bastard

[Azgaut]

which dancer is delirium and which one is delight?

[filthygirl25]

dat guy in the guittar is sooo fine!

[vandret]

Yeah Knut Valle fucking rocks

[RobbieFilth]

0.34 Is he supposed to be saying anything? :p On the CD it sounds something like "Could it be the end??" But Vortex just sings the melody with no words. Weird.

[ZZombyWooff]

hmmmmm..

[deadbabyfingers]

I'm pretty sure on the album it's "could it really be", here it sounds like he says "would it really be"

[RobbieFilth]

That sounds about right actually. *thumbs up*

[TheMoonkins]

whats with the fat chicks

[billnoceros]

just cause their ribs aren't poking through their skin, doesn't mean that they're fat.

btw 3:52 orgasmic highs!

[RogueAndroid]

I hope Vortex will revive Arcturus...

[zahlenripper]

Why didn't get your comment 1000 thumbs up?

[NewMargaritaville]

@RogueAndroid confirmed on his facebook

[RogueAndroid]

@NewMargaritaville So Arcturus is going to be active again?

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!

[mihawk1]

delight & delirium.....fucking HOT!

[abduscias]

It would be so cool if Garm was in this too! Simon and Garm together!!

[billnoceros]

they just might, they've both expressed interested in reviving arcturus

[SharDarksoul]

Which is awesome if they would do it together.

[SinisterTotems]

Go to 2:45, you can see the bassist all the way in the back.

[Destruction3402]

3:50 .

Holy shit, that falsetto shows Vortex' greatness.

[Crackerkiller5]

this is probably a stupid question and im probably going to get thumbed down but wheres the bassist?

[SharDarksoul]

He is the guy with the black cowl on, in the far right corner.

[Crackerkiller5]

ya i saw him a few seconds after i posted the comment

but thank you anyways friend :D

[RogueAndroid]

This is true art!

This song and The Chaos Path are the reasons i love this band!

[JoSeZPERU]

Awesome !!!!!

This is art

[mordred1622]

4:35 sounds like your launching into infiinity. Only bands like arcturus can create that atmosphere. RIP arcturus

[HSMW]

Like the girls!

[garrett1118]

they were so much better live, no fuck ups anywhere. hail arcturus

[ibsayem1337]

this song mindrapes you also Vortex's vocal range gives me a boner.

[Mordaine75]

Man it's a shame this band broke up. They made some really great music, really original.

[jonathanarturo]

I have the original dvd and the ticket from oslo :D

[Crackerkiller5]

*huffs*lucky

[faygohomie69]

That pitch Simen hits at 3:53.... Holy shit.

[bookworm1138]

@faygohomie69 sounds like he said "yodeling little blasphemy"

[gogogadgetspoon]

Pearl - The Best Reason To Play Drums.:)

[munoxxx]

HAIL VORTEX!

[mihawk1]

gotta love those 2 women dancing on stage...fucking awsome pair.

[furakkueroru]

When I put my Goth girlfriends makeup on, I am painting my horror!

[pariahguitarguything]

wtf vortex has an amazing fucking vocal style and range

[mazakiel]

are you on drugs? They sound just fine live

[burx]

I can infer that you aren't accustomed to see live bands...

[mazakiel]

I can infer your a asshole. . .yeah I'm pretty sure no one loves you. I seen more live bands than you can count(never mind you probably can't count to ten). Please don't act smart with me. Overall all they did great. Vortex sometimes does this weird thing with his vocals,but it's mainly good.

[Galderbesjungen]

At least of this song, he does more or less what he did on the album. That demented high-pitched vocals are his vocal lines, the same with Master Of Disguise. I liked the fact he did those vocals, the madness is still there live. Awesome DVD and performance.

[mazakiel]

Did you even see the whole DVD? If you did not then your opinion means little to anyone. Don't bother responding. I don't have the time to argue with assholes.

[burx]

I saw them on stage some years ago, silly infant.

[mazakiel]

Chill you bitter old man. I played live before. Sometimes it is technical problems, or the place your playing in mess up your sound. I seen other bands 4 times, and sometimes they just don't sound well, but they do most of the time. It still stands your a prick.

[burx]

Don't worry you and enjoy your wonderful country, feed the truth.

Anyway, respect for norwegian's, but for me it's not so cool to listen a mutilated live version of their best songs. They're better on cd.

P.S. I started to play drums in 1994, i decided after i saw the Ramones on stage :D.

P.S.2 A smart trick for you... if you have an original cd of "la masquerade infernale" try to get back on track number one and listen how they explain better on "disguised master".

[Goblexter]

Bring me an example,why should they be different?

Instead of trying to push through you opinion,try to understand theirs.That's the way you must listen to it,not look for something you dislike.

[sideshowsymphony]

i agree with mazakiel

[nahkakeke]

everyone of their songs sounds better in this live show, so I must say they succeed in what they're doing :D and also I think this must be the best band in the world :D

[ejfbewhkwefknj]

Those girls are fucking hawt.

[KingOvBLackMetal]

awsome fucking band

[galapandra]

GENIALES.

[emedemetal]

One of the best bands, 10 points from argentina =)

[ejfbewhkwefknj]

Both guitarrists remind me of Dethklok (the guitarrist without the shirt looks like Kwissgard and the one with a shirt on looks like Toky).

[Davethesilentone]

did anyone notice he got a few lines wrong.

like "legacy of meance" instead of "elegy of menace"

[MightyGarogh]

This dvd fuckin rules... the best BM dvd ever.

[dem0nface]

where can you get the dvd at?!

[MightyGarogh]

You can even download it..

[dem0nface]

where?!?!

[MightyGarogh]

I don't know... torrent maybe... just like any other dvd

[vorturus]

Best BM DVD ever? Damn man, while that IS very tough to argue and I may or may not agree with you here, you always have to put Mayhem's Live in Marseille 2000 up for debate.

[Lordmaelstrom]

Yeah, your right, this is avant garde, and isn't even close to black metal

[dem0nface]

is it just me, or are those jester's HOT!!!?

[MarijeVanBloois]

It's you.

But hey, I'm a girl though so it makes sense doesn't it?:P

[WAOmo]

a girle listening to arcturus !!! you must be a very cool girl i likes that ,, wish if we could be friends .

[ZZombyWooff]

Come to Finland and you'll meet metalgirls :D

[Mouridsen20]

I'm in love with the one on the right.

[pwnmaster666]

Vortex's voice is incredible.

I wish they stayed together.

[autumndriad]

Fucking sick. Lovin' it!!! :)

[Himmelvandrer]

very Pink Floyd like

[eustachy179]

they don't do gigs often, do they ?

wish I could see them live where i came from :)

arcturrus pwns !

[JoerhanV]

They aren't active anymore. :(

[PlacidDragon]

They dont do gigs at all anymore, sadly they have split up :/

[HitByTime]

There can't be a more boring audience than this one.

[PerYngveOhlin666]

The chicks are pretty chubby.

I'm not much smaller, but I am also not a stage dancer. XD

[autumndriad]

You know, man, a belly-dancer needs to have a belly because her profession.

You and the other protesting mates would better get used to it.

[PerYngveOhlin666]

I was not complaining.

you get used to it.

[GoGoZebras]

for stage performers those chicks are fat lawl

[flackerrol]

My Horror Paints Herself!

[watchyourst3p]

the song is really nice but they really could lose those fat chicks dancing around.

YUK!

[Lobotomyu]

Delight and Delirium aren't fat.

[Bice404]

lol.

[funkitan]

What you talking about? These girls are so hot!

[madeofmetal7067]

AND FAT.

5:25.

FATNESS

[reload3591]

The one on the left is a little too chubby for that outfit, but the one on the right looks just fine to me.

[carnivorousslushee23]

my favorite song by them...

[randyrhoads4ever]

simen is quite professional...and very friendly as well lol at least he was when i met him lol

[derelict1986]

Garm owned this song, although simen does a decent job covering his parts. Hearing Garm and Simen dueting this and master of disguise would be soooo cool.

[pelmelbass]

The only part I like vocal wise is the part Vortex actually sang in the studio version. I love Simen, and Garm was awesome for what he did!

[chlorr]

OMG, would it ever.

Still, this is pretty fantastic! Plus, I finally got a good look at what Simen is wearing on his head.

[ZZombyWooff]

I was a big fan back in 1998, but I still love this song. It sounds a bit silly live. I always though that someone else sang the high, professional sounding parts.

[ZuoLuoT]

Ah, but Simen IS professional ! ;) I've always thought they sounded way better live than on their albums tbh, I suppose the emotion in enhanced live ^^

[randyrhoads4ever]

dude, can you please upload Hibernation Sickness Complete too??!! i LOVE that song!! =)
