Arcturus - Shipwrecked Frontier Pioneer

[@DemonosSilvast]

Hellhammer and Vortex= perfect combination!!!

[@SpencerHitsKeys]

For music that's so keyboard-driven, It's a shame the camera doesn't focus on Sverd more often. He's really playing his heart out on this track.

[@rubenb8653]

camera dude has metal bias...?

[@phill1041]

They never show bassist either whos holding it down. Fucking guitar players lol

[@chucklos-lw8me]

Yessss... I was thinking the exact same thing!

​@@blackmetalerikhi, what happened to Vortex? I kinda lost him after his Storm seeker project but somehow I'm nonetheless interested in his fate now.

[@blackmetalerik]

@@j7... he's in borknagar again as 1 of 3 vocalists

[@j7...]

@@blackmetalerik but he can't sing live anymore? That's what had me worried.

[@Revenaant]

heard this song 6 million times now- and i keep getting the chills each time. Wery few bands can do that to me for this long

[@ivanmaquine]

Saw that comment 14 years ago and agreed with that. I hope you're still having the same chills now! What a great band!

[@halosakte1946]

It's such a beautiful song man!! Hails 🤘🏻🔥

[@Icarus2land]

Yo I know I'm years late on this one but I'm happy to finally see someone else pointing that out. It was a nice touch for sure!!

[@truehebrewisraelites4634]

This sound is dope af just stumbled in this and been hooked 🎉2024 checking in.

[@metalmedan]

Arcturus next 2020 as a headliner on Wacken Fest..

[@marciagaete]

Cannot resist the pleasure in this song. It feels like the metal ions in my blood conjugate in needles that want to come outside. And the lyrics... oh such a masterpiece! I head toward the stars.

[@slappypancakes]

hellhammer blows my mind consistently. so does this entire album.... a masterpiece in every sense of the word.

[@SeriousCraig]

Vortex with HellHammer is always unbelievable. The best of all anywhere! This is an everyday favorite of so many good Vortex bands and albums and songs.

[@OndskapensHersker]

Best drum sound i have ever heard in my entire life.. no shit.

[@agonizeyourhell]

I've been listening to it four days straight and I can't stop

[@TehFr4nK]

That is perfection. Amazing song played amazingly well.

[@douglasmitchell393]

Been listening to this song for two weeks straight and I'll never get tired of it 🤘😈🤘

[@halosakte1946]

5 months every day here!!! Great motivation for my drumming and life in general 🤘🏻🔥

[@Revenaant]

Fuck- i would have donated my god damn nuts to hear them live- seen this video approx. 100+ times, simply fantastic... the show... the dress up---the vortex singin-the hellhammer drummin .Noone is above this in my eyes!

[@rftopaccess]

I know that Dream Theater are masters of prog-metal, but theses guys for some reason just sound better.

[@ZuoLuoT]

It's like comparing apples to oranges. Both are good, depending on people.

[@juliomacias3650]

Ya quiciera el vocalista de DT manejar un poco de la maestría de Vortex

[@livingbeing1113]

DT have become dull and uninteresting. Arcturus never did.

[@DimiProject2]

thats not just progressive metal... got lots of influence for black metal..

[@spongebitchbobface]

It's better because I get to enjoy a riff that I like for more than 10 fucking seconds.

[@toaquitoaqui]

Hellhammer's drums...OMD!

[@theonlyennix]

Space Metal !!!

[@immortalx50]

actually in original album version it's not a guitar solo, it's singing of a guest musician (some girl with beautiful voice), Moren just transcribed it for guitar

[@Arphael]

Best performance! Legendary

[@P4nzerk93]

I love those chords starting from 3:09 Too bad he doesn´t play with Arcturus anymore. They were played with synth last time I saw them live.

[@P4nzerk93]

2:34 the double bass is insane.

[@toprak3479]

It's crazy it sounds like programmed drums

[@merskur]

@@toprak3479 He's using triggers.

[@livingbeing1113]

@@merskur At those speeds triggers are necessary, especially in extreme music.

[@livingbeing1113]

One of their very best lives. Night and day between this Vortex and the one from recent years. Rest of the band impeccable as usual, true masters of their craft.

[@SharDarksoul]

I love the slow intermezzo, so pretty and dreamy.

[@mrtrashguy5111]

Damn keyboard right in the core of the soul

[@josemiguelibarapablaza2495]

What an amazing voice range.!! 👏👏Hands down.!! greetings from chile👏👏🇨🇱🇨🇱!!

[@marveldeath87]

oooh! what a beautiful guitar solo !!!!

[@15382504]

The Most Perfect Band Ever!! Awesome Perfomance... hail Arcturus!! R.I.P.!!

[@sbeneficibenefici]

Awesome song from an awesome band.

[@shivaro5223]

...Garm was in more than one album. Vortex didn't join the band until later but was still involved in the project because pretty much everyone in the BM scene know each other and or are friends. The band was formed by Knut. He writes pretty much all the music and so Arcturus COULD continue without any of the band members other than Knut if he really desired.

[@Toirneachta]

A truly great group. Hugely underrated I think. The best gig I was ever at, seeing them at the Espy in Melbourne.

[@Wild_Open]

this version is freaking EPIC

[@FzNd]

@joela: They are called Borknagar :) And you guys in the US have NEVERMORE! (which is one of the most amazing abnds ever :))

[@paurojasosorio8043]

4:15 💚

[@samnsoul]

i could hear that one over and over again! maybe its not the word a true metalhead would use, but this song just wonderfull !! ;-)

[@paolocardelli2028]

Spettacolo

[@morgurthion]

Gotta give it to him though (Hellhammer that is) what he did in Shining just blew me away.

[@matkogrgas]

the guitarists are awsome

[@D34TH30RY]

One of the best song of the album.... but i will miss some song from aspera heims symphonia... like Fall of Man or Du Nordavind.

[@DMWolFGurL]

Vortex is a vocal GOD!!! Arcturus is great!!!

[@Hawkeye6822]

Brilliant song and performance!!!Vortex is god!!!

[@FearNoGrave]

@Nick428CJ I agree & I'm glad to know they're forming back up now that he's out of Dimmu. I never thought he belonged there honestly.

[@DrinkerOfBoredom]

[@deulven]

A master piece!

[@MilbaAdams]

Woah. This music.... Is fucking amazing......

[@anthipapadimatou8361]

awesome live!!!!!

[@NireusHell]

Great song in their best (to my opinion) album. Vortex has one of the best -if not the best- voices in the metal world. And of course excellent performance from Hellhammer...

[@FzNd]

That fill is one of my alltime favourites :D

[@lordofraclette]

this is what happened to me too and now this dvd is in my collection

[@TRUSTLBLACKMETAL]

DAMN, HE JUST SINGS SO GOOD

[@BrianBower]

Its awesome how their is a guitar solo that perfectly matches the female vocals on the album. I love this Band.

[@Gargamelle]

and the space sequences... i´ve watched it so many times too...

[@RyleZor]

This has to me my favorite song of all times, I fucking love vortex!

[@somarriba333]

If I am ever crashing down from space, I want this song playing at that moment.

[@pauljose8734]

does anyone cream their pants as much as i do between 3:09 - 5:15? this is so unique to me, and sounds absolutely AMAZING. i absolutely melt every time i hear this

[@HiramAvila]

[@FzNd]

+Paul Jose That part is one of the most sublime pieces of music I've ever heard. It's like a starlit nightsky put into sound. Just stunning.

[@Justin_Anvil]

+GeeKAdemics couldn't agree more. It's awesome. It's like David Bowie (RIP) + Heavy/black Metal. I Love it.

[@winandcallebaut4541]

sounds very 1970's Genesis to me, classic prog sound, I love that.

[@zippadai4]

Hellhammer is a beast in this song!

[@RosaMaylandRosasYummyYums]

Vortex kicks ass (all of them as a matter of fact)! I'm so glad ARCTURUS will be back in 2011! \m/

[@sigerfjord366]

This is so perfect.. Great Live-band

[@MoonOvIce]

Hellhammer is damn fast, but also very technical...now, you don't see this "technicality" very much on most of his bands, but you do see it (or heart it whatever) on his band "Winds"...and Neil Peart is awesome...

[@paurojasosorio8043]

[@anttisilvast8951]

greatness!

[@gibses]

Super vocal!

[@BloodPython67]

I remember i first came to this band when i heard Simen was in it. Then i heard Jan Axel was there drummer, then the floor became sticky ;)

[@ministrysalm79]

Sublime

[@Anonyomus]

if you mean that Garm did the vocals on this song originally, you're unfortunately wrong :) ICS Vortex was vocalist on album "Sideshow Symphonies" and this song is from that album :P

[@thegrimner]

He is. And it just ads credence that it shows that he is actually having troule in keeping the pitch and keeps covering his ear in order to not lose the tone and hear himself better.

[@viniciusCMC]

This keyboard solo... Jesus

[@katjahoertel]

Fantastiskkkk Arcturus!🖤

[@daeerion]

As long as I know, the band was formed by Sverd and Hellhammer in 1990, bearing Arcturus as their name. Knut didn't join the band 'till the end of the tour of Aspera Hiems Symfonia, in 1995 or 96 (till then, the guitarist was August Tidemann). And the main composer is also Sverd, so the last paragraph is correct, just changing Knut for Sverd xD

[@ninimama]

Arcturus has such complex instrumentals, i don't blame him of making some mistakes. They all have amazing technique.

[@DemonosSilvast]

Incredible voice he has!!! I have listened this band from beginning!!! When they changed they style i didnt like it at all... But when you get older (and wiser) you get it!!! Finland hails!!!

[@VycDarkshadow]

@norskfimbulvetr I know the band is from Norway. It sounded to me like the guy sending the post was from Finland, and therefore was sending his greetings from his country. I've seen that many times before.

[@icsvortex37me76]

Vortex is great!!!! amazing!!!!

[@RootsMaggot]

[@ZuoLuoT]

@GreenBaphomet You said "I mean they don't make any sense whatsoever, to people who don't understand 'em." That's fairly logical actually, without any doubts.
