Additional notes
Arckanum is NOT a "pagan" black metal band. Shamaatae is a practicing Chaos-Gnostic (see the "Gnosis" article on Arckanum website).
DO NOT add the "Arckanum 6 LP box set" from 2008, this is not an official release.
Arckanum has contributed to the Tormenting Legends II compilation (Blut & Eisen, 2006) with the exclusive track "Aengin Oforhaerra".
Shamaatae is also the author of the books on Chaos-Gnosticism, Anti-Cosmic Satanism, Old Norse religion etc under the pen-name Vexior. His first book called "PanParadox: Pan Towards Chaos" was released through Ixaxaar Publishing in 2009.
So what is symbolism of this image? Two sig runes (shaped as the lightning of thor?) pointed downwards representing oneself (or hell?). Within a burning black sword (which i've seen other places put with a black flame surrounding the sword) so the sword represents the power of kaos/Set/Satan or in Vexior-Arckanum's case Pan?
