   Taken from the band's recent newsletter, the latest scandals about Aarni (peddlers of preposterous prog metal):

:: :: LIBER XXXVI AARNI vel Explosio Rectalis  :: ::

Prickle-Prickle, day 71 in the season of Discord, 3173 Anno Mungi.

Hail Eris, thou lout! Welcome to Liber XXXVI Aarni, the thirty-sixth edition of the official Aarni newsletter, bringing you some of the latest news on the band and their websh*te, and in-depth gibbering from Aarni's most infamous metal god/retard Master Warjomaa! To resubscribe or to unsubscribe, and for more information on Liber Aarni, piss off to www.aarni.info/newsletter.html.

:: ii  M.W.'S WORDS ::

Dear endangered primates,

what do you know...very recently we actually managed to record the guitar parts to 'The Battle Hymn Of The Eristocracy', using a somewhat Sabbath-like sound. How terribly original. That tune will also feature the flute and Moog as well as the usual drums and bass while the lyrics have been directly lifted from the Principia Discordia without any updating to the current global political state of lunacy. Consider it a homage to the original author(s).

The next patient will probably be the intro track 'Chapel Perilous', which should be fun to create (if not actually to listen to) as it has been planned as near complete cacophony - or pure multi-layered musical genius and indisputable proof of supersanity? Somehow we suspect that this our very second album of all time shall require quite a few spins in the listener's set before you can "get into it" - if ever. Oh, some of the tracks might appear more accessible than others, but those are just the sh*ttier ones catering to the lowest common denominators of the SLUMBERING LARVAL ROBOT HERD.
After we finish with the intro, "only" two lengthy songs need to be recorded to complete the album...which will probably be not a moment too soon: after working on the new material for nearly two and a half years, the members of Aarni would like to do something else for a change. Like starting work/play on our third album or making that Thergothon cover jingle.

No, we still cannot give you a release date. That would be telling.

All in all, modern and vintage synths abound in the new material in addition to the more conventional band instruments, but hopefully in a progressive (as opposed to regressive) way, making the arrangements more complex, layered, prig, technical and spaced-out than in past Aarni musick. Do you believe that? How does it make you think you feel?

In other news: the (German) lyrics to the untitled cover song from the Skepticism tribute album have been added to the Aarni websh*te for your benightment.
The double CD album in question, 'Entering The Levitation: a Tribute To Skepticism', has been set for a release date of July 4th. We will hopefully shortly receive our limited copies of it, so if you should feel interested you can order the album from us for a preposterous 13 euros (including shipping worldwide). For info on the titillating tracklist and pervy performers head over to the vaunted website of Foreshadow Productions.

Ok, you can all go now...I seem to have forgotten the rest of the news. Or...have I?

	Here's a little news item on the recent release of Aarni's 2nd LP 'Tohcoth': Today we received our candylike copies of the splendid album Tohcoth! But it's not right that we should have all the copies, so place your order and become the proud owner of one (or several). Never mind what jealous people say! The price including shipping worldwide is 13 euros, payment via PayPal or the usual traditional options. To order, surf to Aarni's homepage. Let's take a look at an objective and scientifically impartial (an oxymoron?) description of Tohcoth written by a respected international expert: "Tohcoth is Aarni's second full-length album and contains a plethora of musical styles ranging from various subgenres of doom metal, 70's prog and folk metal to ambient and krautrock while remaining guitar-driven. A number of chord progressions and melodies have been chosen so as to cause beneficial effects in the listener according to the principles of sacred geometry. The record's overall atmosphere is somewhat proggy, experimental, freaked-out and heavily influenced by esoterica. The themes on 'Tohcoth' consist of occultism and futuristic theories, brain-change and collective & personal liberation with added Lovecraftian, Alchemical, Discordian, Thelemic and Hermetic content. The album features the first ever(?) recording of 'The Battle Hymn of the Eristocracy', the Discordian anthem from the cult book 'Principia Discordia'. Also featured is the Enochian (of course strictly using Dr. John Dee's original pronounciation instructions) language song 'All Along The Watchtowers', which may have interesting effects on the listener's surroundings and/or psyche. A couple of further tracks feature lovely poetry by Aleister Crowley and Eino Leino while the album itself has been dedicated to the late great Robert Anton Wilson, inter alia. The interactive portion of the record consists of magickal sigils in the coolly illustrated CD booklet: the listener/operator is kindly asked to concentrate on each one in turn, charging and launching them in a state of gnosis as per the popular practice in Chaos Magic. To you that's ogling at the artsy red-coloured scribbles in the booklet page corners and spanking your monkey, bub. Many wondrous and blissful things will happen to you and your planet if you choose to comply! Languages used on the recording this time around include English, Latin, Finnish and Enochian. As on Aarni's critically and popularily acclaimed debut album 'Bathos', the Finnish media personality Sampo Marjomaa has contributed guest vocals and VV from the band Umbra Nihil plays quite a bit of the drums. The tracks number 11 in total making the album just over 73 minutes long." Do you believe that? We in Aarni do mostly. Mostly. Edited by Doomintroll - February 27 2008 at 14:49

	:: :: LIBER XLVI AARNI vel Festina Lentissime :: :: Sweetmorn, day 53 in the season of Discord, 3174 Anno Mungi. Iä Eris! Welcome to Liber XLVI Aarni, the forty-sixth edition of the official Aarni newsletter, bringing you some of the latest news on the band and their websh*te and in-depth emanations from Aarni's most infamous metal god/retard Master Warjomaa! To subscribe head to http://www.reverbnation.com/aarni?add_email=true :: M.W.'S WORDS :: Iä! Many of you patients have been requesting some rags to cover up your loathsome nakedness and now we can help you: respectable Aarni t-shirts will probably be available in the more or less distant future. More info as soon as we get it... I don't recall if I stated this before, but 'Tohcoth' too is interactive yet after another manner than 'Bathos'. The interactive portion of the record consists of magickal sigils in the booklet: the listener/operator is kindly asked to concentrate on each one in turn, charging and launching them in a state of gnosis as per the popular practice in Chaos Magic. To you that's ogling at the artsy red-coloured scribbles in the booklet page corners and spanking your monkey, bub. Many wondrous and blissful things will happen to you and your planet if you choose to comply! Help yourself to help us help you. Yes, this is no joke. I somewhat painstakingly made those sigils in the Tohcoth booklet just for you to launch. I hope this is a good excuse for you to have sex or some other activity leading to the required 'moment of emptiness'. Speaking of which, we've still got a few copies of 'Tohcoth' left and feel anxious to be rid of them. Contact us for pity's sake and get a nice gift for someone special. Your favourite lover and/or enemy perhaps? Remember too that Mother's Day draws close... Aarni now has a spanking new ReverbNation page, http://www.reverbnation.com/aarni. We suggest you visit it as the site clearly beats the likes of MySpace in many wonderful ways. Featured are numerous full-length songs from all Aarni releases, plus "fan exclusive" stuff such as unreleased tracks and other curiosities. In about a week two further early songs ('In The Mouth Of Oulu' and 'Kakkakepponen') will after remastering hopefully be added there, as in time will be such new tracks as don't fit the Lovecraftian concept of the forthcoming 3rd Aarni album, but are too good to be thrown away...I kid, Aarni never throws anything away - we are ecological in that way. At the moment ReverbNation has a total of 11 Aarni songs, including the fan exclusives 'Ethanol Jam' and 'Logos (piano edit)'. "Becoming" a fan shouldn't be too painful as it is free. And while you're at it you might want to consider joining the Aarni mailing list feature there. It seems more fancy than these plain text Liber Aarnis. Maybe it will in time replace the old Bravenet newsletter service that we currently use...let's see if enough people wish to join it and unsubscribe from the Bravenet one. Yea, naturally the recordings of the 3rd album are underway and likely will be for quite some time. The song 'Yule Horror' has been practically completed and now only awaits for the finishing guest star contributions. Additionally, the vocal recordings for 'Nemesis' should be completed later this week as well as some of my guitar solos for the forthcoming Umbra Nihil album.
