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.

Grim march to black eternity
Argar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
bells begin to toll their funeral tone
all has already finished
grim march to black eternity
burning fights human miseries
...suffered passions and tormented desires
black horizon of death is our destiny
souls are cold and silent
my lungs breathe the immense void of eternity
cold night fog covers our eyes
eternal night's whisper calls the spectral chargers
silent carriages of death drawn by their chargers...are coming
they come down the black sky along its funeral path of tears
they have arrived...they open their black doors to us
we fatal human souls come into grim march
it's the end of all ruinous human life
legions of black carriages close their black doors
they march with the silence of death
to black eternity...to black eternity
The lyrics of Argar's song Grim march to black eternity describe an atmosphere of death and despair. The bell tower of souls spreads its black call, signaling the end of all human life. The funeral bells begin to toll, echoing the mournful tone of the end of everything. The inevitability of death is emphasized, as the black horizon of death is portrayed as the destiny of all souls.
The imagery of the lyrics is bleak and desolate. The souls are described as cold and silent, like the icy waters of a winter lake. The mention of burning fights and suffered passions suggests an existence filled with struggle and pain. The eternal night's whisper calls the spectral chargers, the silent carriages of death, which draw them closer to their ultimate fate.
The theme of the song is a reminder of the fragility of human existence and the inevitability of death. It encourages listeners to embrace the present moment and appreciate the little moments of happiness and meaning in life, before the grim march to black eternity claims them.
