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, ARCKANUM’s 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.

All audios are remastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony.

These releases will come as double-LPs (except Fran Marder) in a gatefold sleeve with UV-varnish on the cover. Including a huge 20-page 12” booklet each title with an in-depth interview (divided into 4 parts) with Shamaatae and many never seen before pictures.
