M.A.:“Formed in autumn 1990 (according to the band’s original bio, other sources say early 1991) as an off-shoot from Mortem, who continued in parallel with Arcturus for a few years. Arcturus is therefore not the same band as Mortem with simply a new name, but rather a different project featuring the same members.”

Månegarm were great this evening! The guys are hosting their own festival in august In Norrtälje and I think there´s still some tickets left: “It is probably the coolest Viking metal festival out there.

“Founded in 2005 by A. and C. The 2006 promo CD they put out the proceeding year of forming led them to close a deal with Ordo Decimus Peccatum. After T. and J. joined in 2007 the recording line-up was completed, but due to frequent troubles things weren’t finished until January 2008. Lyrics by the band fluctuate between being written in English and Finnish.” – From TMA
