The band maintained a Pagan ideology throughout their existence, although their lyrics mostly deal with Death, hatred and negativity. Musically, Argar are often favourably compared to earlier Emperor, playing a highly symphonic style of Black Metal with raw, highly distorted guitars, fast drumming and a mix of rasping and high pitched shrieking vocals. They seldom received any press attention, however they were often praised for their varied songs and highly atmospheric style.
Since disbanding several members have formed the raw Black metal band Spectre and front man Ur Profanum has also begun a solo project called Grim Funeral.

A revelation in solitude
Argar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
are only emotions of mine.. they little matter
storms of withered and decadent life
desires and sufferings awaken with hate and wounded feelings
... with cold marks of death
oblivion: cover me in cold earth with a tunic of mist forgotten
oblivion: make my emotions melt under the black sky of a moonless night
"to stop pain causes pain" whispers the nocturnal wind
where he dark flower of my desires be born... and my hate!
the face of solitude stares at me telling me:
"i invited you to suffer in this sepulchral life
you can come back to the void... eternity i am"
The lyrics of Argar's song, "A revelation in solitude" delve into the intense emotions of the singer, who is grappling with various issues in life. The opening lines suggest that the singer has had a difficult time expressing their emotions in words. They have experienced many emotions, but none of them have been able to capture the full extent of their feelings. The following lines talk about how the singer is a victim of the storms of life that have left them wounded. These storms have led them to feel intense desires, and sufferings that are now awakened with hate and wounded feelings. The singer is left with cold marks of death, suggesting that they feel lifeless and devoid of any hope.
The song then takes a turn towards the idea of the oblivion, as the singer seeks to be forgotten and covered in the cold earth. They want their emotions to melt away under the black sky of a moonless night. The line "to stop pain causes pain" suggests that the idea of letting go of their emotions may cause them a different kind of suffering. The singer is left with a puddle of desperation, and it is here that the dark flower of their desires is born, along with their hate.
The song ultimately ends with the face of solitude whispering to the singer, inviting them to suffer in this sepulchral life, and telling them that they can always come back to the void, where eternity awaits them. The song highlights the intense emotions of the singer, who is struggling with life's challenges and seeks a way out.

Reminds me of darkthrone, not saying they’re trying to sound like them or anything just saying it brings back a lot of nostalgia, which is awesome!
