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.

i feel your music like a soundtrack for the end of the world in 2012... and that is not a bad thing, actually, if you really make a soundtrack for the end of the world in 2012, it will blow the earth's mind, or something like that

According to the label's site the staff is on holiday until the 14th of September...that hopefully explains the silence.

Still haven't got a reply from Epidemie records, gone over a week from my mail. I doubt I would have even returned the shirt but it would be nice if they had even offered me a return possibility. Well, thats one way of dealing with unsatisfied customers I guess :P.

Hmm...sorry to hear about the label's fuckup. Let's hope they fix it somehow. Kakka tuli :p

I got "my" shirt last week. Ordered a Khaki shirt; got a LADYFIT black one ;x. I already sent e-mail on the possible exchange to a men's shirt. No answer yet, but i suppose there are probably no shirts left anyway, so i'll just cut the logo out and sew it into a black plain shirt.

We in the band got ours yesterday as well. Have to gain some kilos for a better fit in the XL dark green shirt...easily done. In fact the silvery print looks best on black, while white print would have been optimal on green...natheless the printers did a good enough job...quality textile and the print can take washings. Not that you should ever wash band t-shirts...

Got yesterday my dark green tee ....at last! It is magickal.... And for bonus this interesting Demimonde cd. Just have to force my female companion to fix the cloth for better fit. Tohcoth! Tohcoth!

Only occasionally wacky, alas never edgy...yet nice to hear at least some people have got the magickal t-shirts granting one invisibility in the eyes of the fashion-savvy.

I was expecting something a bit more edgy and wacky than this but it's still pretty pleasant listening material.

I pre-ordered a shirt. It seems that the news were on Epidemie records yesterday. Hope I still manage to snatch the other Khaki m-size shirt :P
