Today, Darkness Shall Rise Productions announces July 20th as the international release date for a brand-new EP from Arckanum, Motestandarin, on 7" vinyl format. Digital release date shall be June 22nd, when preorders for the 7" vinyl begin.
Motestandarin features two songs from the forthcoming 10th studio album of legendary Swedish black metal entity Arckanum.
Beswærilsin (to be released in October 2026) and its precursor EP Motestandarin mark the beginning of Arckanum’s third phase—an initiation emerging from a deeper stratum of the Thursian current. This is neither a return nor a repetition, but a manifestation forged through decades of spiritual workings, experience, and endurance. Across eleven ritualistic compositions on the upcoming album, the past is not revisited through nostalgia, but reawakened as a living anti-cosmic force.
The Motestandarin EP is, next to digital and streaming, also available as a strictly limited 7" vinyl edition, restricted to 218 hand-numbered copies (only available in the DSR webshop).
Founded in 1992, Arckanum stands among the oldest and most revered names in Swedish black metal. Created and led solely by Shamaatae, the project has released nine full-length albums and numerous EPs throughout its more-than-three-decade history.
Beswærilsin will be Arckanum’s first full-length album in nine years. Furthermore, two additional albums have already been written and are scheduled for release in the coming years through Darkness Shall Rise. Cover and tracklisting for the EP are as follows:
