Aarni
Aarni has been described as an avant-garde metal band from Finland, which consists primarily of Master Warjomaa and, occasionally, some session musicians. Although many sources claim the existence of other band members, these may be fictional characters (probably created by Warjomaa himself) and include a French count born in the 17th century (Count of Saint-Germain), a cartoon character with a T-shirt with Aarni's logo (Doomintroll) and an old woman (Mistress Palm).
Aarni's music bears similarities to funeral doom metal (in Reaching Azathoth, for example) and has sometimes similarities to folk metal (The Weird of Vipunen). Their style has been described as almost orthodox doom metallish Lovecraftian-Jungian Kalevala avantgarde music. The band themselves sometimes use the term Chthonic Musick. The lyrics of Aarni include varied themes such as Finnish folklore, transhumanism, Lovecraft, paganism, parapsychology, psychoanalytical theories and mythology. The lyrics have been sung in English, Finnish, Latin, and occasionally in Enochian, Ancient Egyptian, Ouranian Barbaric, Swedish, and Glossolalic.

Liber Umbrarum Vel Coniunctio
by: Aarni[Proclamator:]
Timeo, trepido; in basilicis atris erro. Nescio, nememini quo modo huc adveni.
Librum Iuvenis quiete domi legebam. Sed qui estis, spiritus advenientes?
[Umbrae:]
Lemures aut spiritus non sumus! Nonne nos cognoscis?
Liber sanctus sum: Draconigenus sum: Et feminea aeterna sum
[Proclamator:]
Certe vos cognosco; in somnis mihi torquetis! Mehercule, abite, mali spiritus!
Redite ad infernos, magnopere me temptatis! Cur mi apparuistis; quid vobis mecum rei est?
[Umbrae:]
Tibi apparuimus, ut completus fias. Consanguinei sumus, tu et nos.
[Proclamator:]
Intellectu careo! Venitisne ex animo meo?
[Umbrae:]
Ita vero; de te sumus partes. Assume nos et invenies!
[Proclamator:] Nunc intellego!
[Omnia:] CONIUNCTI SUMUS.
[English translation:]
[Bawler:]
Timorous I tremble, lost in murky hallways. I know not nor recollect
How I came to be here. I was perusing the book of the Youth in the quiet of
My home. But who are you, approaching spirits?
[Shades:]
Lemures or spirits we are not! Dost thou not recognise us?
I am the sacred child: I am dragon-kin: I am the eternally feminine.
[Bawler:]
Verily I recognise you; the tormentors from my dreams! By Hercules,
Begone, evil spirits! Return to Hades - you tempt me overmuch! Wherefore did
You appear to me; what be your business with me?
[Shades:]
We appeared to thee so thou wouldst become complete. We are consanguinous, thee and us.
[Bawler:] I understand not! Did you spring from my soul?
[Shades:] Forsooth; we are part of thee. Embrace us and thou shalt see!
[Bawler:] I comprehend now!
