working in regardless of genre” – V-Rex.
Arvas, formerly known as the black metal band Örth, is a Norwegian extreme metal band formed in
Bergen in 1993 by V-Rex. The band formally changed its name to Arvas in 2000.

and black metal is perfectly put together as one in a sonic delight of the pure intense and the most
honest approach.
