(1998 – present)

Some sources (mostly people who like to call themselves music journalists) have described Aarni’s music variably as ‘almost orthodox doom metallish Lovecraftian-Jungian Kalevala avant-bard’, ‘progressive doom metal’, ‘Yanni with distorted guitars’, ‘primitive black metal’, ‘underground progressive rock’, ‘shit’, ‘space doom metal’ and ‘original as fuck’. The band itself occasionally uses terms like ‘Chthonic Hybrid Musick (pronounced “moo-sik”)’, ‘Antinomian Music’, ‘Maybe Music’, ‘Noise For Futants’, ‘Functional Music’, ‘Dream Torrent Music’, ‘Musical manure for the mind’ or preferably no description at all. Sound confusing? Join the club!

Aarni strives to avoid using needless amounts of traditional song-structures, homogenous parts and other such widespread and boring conventions in its music. Aarni aims for comfortably unpolished results using a mixture of bad and good playing. Probably the band also functions as much-needed therapy to its members.

Some of the themes in Aarni’s music may include: Balancing your ancestral path with the positive sides of modern technology & cultural redesign; magick, occultism, esoterica and world mythologies, brain-change, Discordianism, collective & personal liberation, transhumanism and theories of analytical psychology (especially those of C.G. Jung); the Cthulhu mythos as described by H.P. Lovecraft and fellow authors; plus divers more obscure topics.

Aarni’s superintelligent lyrics take form in the language believed most suitable for the song’s subject: usually in English, Classical Latin or Finnish and occasionally in French, Ancient Egyptian, Hebrew, German, Enochian, Glossolalic, Ouranian-Barbaric et cetera.
