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.

Tohcoth is sooo bad compared to the excellence of Bathos. There are couple of funny songs but other than that, it's just plain boredom.

Iä! We just got our "Yogsothery" copies! While they last and thou wilt, order thine from us for the meager sacrifice of 10 € (includes planetwide postage). Etherically contact us at the usual location: aarni *at* aarni *flyshit* info. The CD jewel-case comes in a cardboard slipcase for thy edification & delight. Features an outlandish 20-page full colour booklet with liner notes and lyrics just to make thee feel special & loved.

Reaching Azathoth is the best attempt at the Great Old Ones within the sonic realm I've heard so far (apart from the Bloop, obviously, but nobody has claimed the copyright there yet).

We successfully evoked most of the rhythm & lead guitars for ´Goetia´ to audiovisual manifestation. Now the actual business can begin...

Aarni currently records the song 'Goetia', which features the mandatory howling, buzzing of insects/djinns, the Goetic "demons" as well as general dissonance & sonance and wossname & whatnot...
