The band, for anyone not yet up to speed on Furnace, is masterminded by Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Massacre) and Peter Svensson (Assassin’s Blade, Void Moon). Created out of their shared love of horror-fantasy concept albums, Furnace are completed by drummer Lars Demoké (Gauntlet Rule, Catacomb).
As an album, Stellarum delivers, musically, ten songs that are, in a nutshell, a combination of the two previous albums, the more straightforward melodic death songs of debut release Black Stone Church melded with the slightly progressive/gothic elements of Dark Vistas.
Lyrically the concept also continues the stories of these two albums, pulling them together into a trilogy. This draws on concepts from those previous albums and combines the more Lovecraftian themes of Dark Vistas with the dystopian elements of Black Stone Church, as well as elements from the old Soviet film Polaris and a few other sci-fi themes.
