I have to admit that I'm not a Black Metal specialist but there is something I pretty much figured out all by myself: Ancient Rites is not mainstream Black Metal. Far from the "purists" [Mayhem, Darkthrone, Immortal, ...] and also very different from the "symphonists" [Dimmu Borgir, Cradle Of Filth, ...], Ancient Rites belongs to a different group of bands, the one that loves the sound of clean guitars and solos just like in Heavy or Power Metal, without sacrificing the bases of Black Metal. The result could be labeled as Power Black Metal or something like that. Well, that's probably why I just like that talented band that much! Read more ›› |

Another great viking album... really thrashy at times and melodic at others.
