With "Arcane Past: The Celestial Grimoire", Limbonic Art deliver the ultimate testament of their early years. This massive 8-CD legacy artbook collects all the Norwegian black metal cult band's classic works from demos to first albums as well as the previously unreleased "1994 Demo". Founded in 1993, Limbonic Art released their debut album "Moon in the Scorpio" in 1996 via Nocturnal Art Productions, the label of EMPEROR guitarist Samoth aka Tomas Thormodsæter Haugen, after the band's early tapes had captured his ear. The band's, at the time, quite unique combination of harsh Nordic black metal with cinematic elements inspired by romantic and classic orchestral music proved extremely influential in the following years. Limbonic Art have always been an elusive creation that rarely appeared live, for example with a stunning performance at the Black Whitsun sub-festival of the doomed millennium year edition of the Wave Gotik Treffen (2000) in Leipzig, Germany. In the new century, Daemon also joined ZYKLON for a while, but in February 2003, Limbonic Art officially broke up. However, Daemon reformed the band in 2006. After another extended period of silence, the Norwegian cult act made an acclaimed comeback with their ninth full-length "Opus Daemoniacal" in 2024. "Arcane Past: The Celestial Grimoire" is closing the circle and offers Limbonic Art's complete classics and rarities for the first time collected on CD.
