Label: Any And All Records

Bio: Aarni has of course always existed, but the current incarnation's story began in the autumn of 1998 ev when M.·.M.·. suddenly began solitarily developing his vague musical ideas further. He got telepathetic messages from the unicorn dolphin elder of Sirius B, who begged M.·.M.·. to reawaken the a... See Full Bio

Press

“One of the more esoteric and mysterious collectives is Aarni, an avant-garde metal band from Finland. Masterminded by 4 = 1 Master Warjomaa, Aarni play a musical style that covers various facets of metal, such as funeral doom metal and even folk metal. The band includes in its influences Lovecraft (the collective refers to itself sometimes as the Chthonic Musick), transhumanism, and parapsychology.”

— Octavio Ramos, Examiner

“Aarni is full of diversity and is really, literally weird and bizarre. Aarni is able to blend many genres together and is able to have them flow together quite well. A song can begin with melodic clean guitars and flutes and can change in an instant to absolute crushing doom, and vice versa.”

— Ibex_Ichor, Metal-Archives

“Aarni is nothing more than a good band name with some average guitar-playing and way too much time to waste.”

— Timothy Golden, DecoyMusic.com

“Crystallized doom fully integrated with orthodox doom and heavy metal parts, incorporating Lovecraftian and Jungian progressive avantgarde rock with lots of space for even weirder influences like folk metal, ambient drone and seventies prog rock. Season with bits of Kabbala, alchemy and mythology...”

— Erik, Lords Of Metal

“Hear thou Aarni's melanchthonic dumb metall and shudder!”

— Luther Blisset, Arkham Advertiser

“Aarni has always been a bastion of eccentric music and behaviour, right from the first demo. The man behind the music, Markus Marjomaa, embraces the bizarre and the experimental to make Aarni one of the more unusual and distinctive bands active today.”

— ForNaught, Encyclopaedia Metallum

“Aarni's musick carried me right into the Abyss...and beyond!”

— Aleister "Little Sunshine" Crowley, Akashic Records

“Expect the unexpected, expect heavy funeral doom, expect experimentation, expect gentle open progressive sections, expect mesmerising dreamscapes, expect to drift away, expect songs that aren't songs, expect a medieval feel, expect a futuristic feel...expect, well...anything!”

— Aldo Quispel, Doom-metal.com

“Aarni wool is a fabulously soft, Fair trade, naturally dyed, 4ply/sport weight yarn, which is absolutely perfect for colour work, stranded items, Nordic mittens, Fair Isle projects and even baby clothes.”

— Ecoknits

“[Aarni's music] maketh me disregard my bleeding Fundament!”

— Dr. John Dee, Book of Enoch

“Occultimate Brown Metal with coprotic anthemisms!”

— Rev. Buck Naked, Erisian Times

“Aarni is more than music; all tracks have their own mood and message and it's the listener's "duty" to grasp the subject and concept of the lyrics. I would especially recommend all those interested in Aarni to visit their website because it delivers some valuable backgrounds and insights.”

— Roy, Rockezine

“Aarni plays its savantgawd submusic with genuine gusto”

— Monty Cantsin, Ars Cacandi Magazine

“This music is a punisher of minds, it will sadden your day. I will not make you endure further descriptions, suffice to say that this can only serve as a fantastic example of what not to do when making a record album. This is offensive to anyone who loves music.”

— Joseph Gates, Heathen Harvest

“Aarni are one of the most unusual bands I have heard in a while. Imagine a mix of Solstice, Amorphis, early My Dying Bride and a load of avantgarde madness.”

— John McGartoll, Abandon All Hope #1

“The congressive excremetal of Aarni tastefully avoids nonexistentialistic angstmata”

— Karen Eliot, Metal Bedpan Zine

“Aarni is definitely a band worth checking out if you want to hear something unique and odd with its roots in doom metal. I don't think it's a band that everyone will like and that's not their purpose either. There's plenty of My Dying Bride alike bands but there is only one Aarni.”

— Creeping Death, Scandinavian Metal

Many thanks for the remastered version of Bathos. It sounds fantastic so far...maybe a re-remaster will not be necessary this time! Best.
