news. LIMBONIC ART announce ultimate „Arcane Past: The Celestial Grimoire“ feat. unreleased material

LIMBONIC ART will release their collected early works as a massive 8-CD legacy artbook entitled „Arcane Past: The Celestial Grimoire“. This collectors‘ item that is limited to 600 copies includes the never before released, live recorded „1994 Demo“, which has been carefully restored by renowned ’sound archaeologist‘ Patrick W. Engel. „Arcane Past: The Celestial Grimoire“ also features an in-depth memoir by mastermind Vidar „Daemon“ Jensen and enhanced original artwork and photos. The release of the spectacular artbook has been scheduled for July 31, 2026.

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“.
However, Daemon reformed the band in 2006. He continued on his own to release the albums „Phantasmagoria“ (2010) and „Spectre Abysm“ (2017) under the name LIMBONIC ART.

After another extended period of silence, the Norwegian cult act made an acclaimed comeback with their ninth full-length „Opus Daemoniacal“ in 2024. Although vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Vidar „Daemon“ Jensen chose to continue along the comparatively rather straightforward black metal path of his previous releases, the album also deliberately referred back to the dense atmospheric and cinematic feel of LIMBONIC ART’s groundbreaking early works.

„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.
