After having gathered experiences in various bands as a drummer Shamaatae founded ARCKANUM out of his desire to combine his deep passion for Metal with dark magic and Satanism in 1992.
The demos and full lengths bearing the ARCKANUM logo that would be released up until 1998 garnered its sole member Shamaatae praise wide and far. Appreciated by adherents of Black Metal for its highly original and atmospheric sound, ARCKANUMs merits aren`t restricted to releasing timeless music. Beginning with Fran marder, multi-talented Shamaatae by creating unmistakable covers, booklets, calligraphy, drawings and lyrics written in ancient Swedish not only succeeded in establishing a particular aesthetic for ARCKANUM but manifested a whole world or rather an antikosmos unto itself.
Its with great pride that Darkness Shall Rise productions hereby presents rereleases of the epochal first era of ARCKANUM: Kostogher
Two years after Fran marders release, the second ARCKANUM album Kostogher was set free to plague the feeble world. The ARCKANUM trademarks as edified on Trulen and Fran marder are kept intact while at the same time new ingredients are mingled. Whereas Fran marder had a rather clean sound, Kostoghers production comes with a lot of stink and filth. The harsh sound of Kostogher which convincingly marries the rawness of Trulen with a vigorous studio production turns the second full-length into a savage and quite possibly the most primal sounding ARCKANUM album. Compared to Fran marder, Kostogher comes across way dirtier, meaner and all around crazier. The whole album has a bold FUCK OFF written all over it.
Remastered for vinyl from the original recordings by Patrick W. Engel of Temple of Disharmony.
