The revamped band are currently rehearsing for upcoming shows and a new album, which may or may not turn out to be a mini-CD as opposed to a full-length release, according to www.spiralarchitect.com. As previously reported, Spiral Architect/Borknagar drummer Asgeir Mickelson will join San Francisco Bay Area thrashers Testament as a temporary replacement for regular skinsman Jon Allen, whose personal family problems are preventing him from taking part in the group's upcoming European tour.

| Monday, February 24, 2003 - Arcturus news | Garm from Ulver has left Arcturus, according to an interview he did with Brave Words. Here's what he said: "I no longer sing in Arcturus. We haven't made the decision public yet, it's still somewhat of a secret. I guess you guys will be the first to make it known. I had to choose and down-prioritize a few things. My record label, Jester Records, has 30 CDs in the catalogue and I really want to work with my artists first hand, because I believe in all of them. Arcturus was ok as an offspring project, but the other members have tried to get serious about it now. They want to rehearse three times a week, and I can't commit to that. I'm not happy with this move, but it's something that has to be done."
