Constellation is the first EP released by Norwegian experimental black metal band Arcturus. It was released in only 500 copies on CD on 14 August 1994, through the record label Nocturnal Art Productions.
Three years after their debut single My Angel (1991), Arcturus released the EP Constellation. The recording represents a shift towards more experimental black metal than the more gloomy black metal style of My Angel.
The four tracks were later re-recorded for the band's debut album Aspera Hiems Symfonia (1996). In 1997 Nocturnal Art Productions issued a limited edition 12" vinyl of the Constellation EP, backed with the My Angel single and two new tracks. A bootleg Reconstellation came out in 1999 with four additional tracks. Arcturus released a considerably remastered compilation entitled Aspera Hiems Symfonia/Constellation/My Angel in 2003. Kyrck Productions & Armour issued two limited edition CDs of the 1997 12" together with five previously unreleased rehearsal or pre-production versions of early Arcturus material.
