Our Take

Arcturus's "The Sham Mirrors" is a bewildering journey through the outer realms of space and time, where metal meets madness in a collision of cosmic proportions. This Norwegian avant-garde metal band has never been one to play it safe, and their fourth studio album is no exception. From the moment the haunting keys of "Revelation" kick in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The band effortlessly blends black metal with progressive rock, creating a sound that is as grandiose as it is otherworldly. The vocals of Garm (of Ulver fame) soar and growl in equal measure, adding an extra layer of depth to the already expansive soundscapes. Tracks like "Collapse Generation" and "La Masquerade Infernale" showcase Arcturus at their most experimental, pushing boundaries and defying genre conventions with reckless abandon. The intricate guitar work of Tore Moren and Knut Magne Valle adds a technical flair that keeps the listener on their toes, while Hellhammer's thunderous drumming drives the songs forward with relentless energy. Overall, "The Sham Mirrors" is a mind-bending odyssey that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about metal. Arcturus have once again proven why they are one of the most innovative bands in the genre, and their latest offering is a testament to their fearless creativity. Strap in, hold on tight, and let the cosmic chaos wash over you.
