Formed in autumn 1990 (according to the band's original bio, other sources say early 1991) as an off-shoot from Mortem, who continued in parallel with Arcturus for a few years. Arcturus is therefore not the same band as Mortem with simply a new name, but rather a different project featuring the same members.
Broke up in April 2007, but reunited in 2011 and started touring again.
