Arckanum is a Swedish black metal band formed in 1993 by Johan "Shamaatae" Lahger, who is the only constant member. Arckanum is notable for writing lyrics in ancient Swedish, and dealing mainly with the worship of Chaos, as well as anti-cosmic Satanism in the vein of Dissection.[1] Shamaatae is also writing occult literature. He has three books in progress,[2] one of which is due to be released in 2009 titled PANPARADOX published by Ixaxaar.

Shamaatae joined his first band, Conquest, aged eleven, the band later evolving into Grotesque.[3] On leaving Grotesque, Shamaatae formed a technical death-metal band called Disinterment, who recorded one demo and played a few gigs before splitting up.[3] At the end of 1992, Shamaatae decided to return to black metal and Arckanum was started. Initially a full band, it became a solo project after six months.[3] After several releases, by 1998 Shamaatae had discontinued working with necropolis records because they went under, and turned his attention to writing books, with three written on the subjects of Pan, anti-cosmic Satanism, Old Norse traditions, runic witchcraft and chaos-gnosticism.[3] He was still involved in music during this time still working with Arckanum and playing drums with The Hearsemen.[3] Arckanum's latest album, Antikosmos was recorded in early 2008 and released in July.[3] Antikosmos featured the guest appearance of Set Teitan of the bands Dissection and Watain.
