Hails!

I run a black metal project called Mystic Rites. It's inspired mainly by old norwegian black metal bands like Emperor, Darkthrone, Satyricon, Burzum and Bathory (although, that ain't norwegian;)).
I've just finished making my first record.
The EP contains of four tracks and is approx. 22 mins long.

Any opinions?

Right, got the new versions of the songs uploaded. This is exactly the material, of which the "Invoking the Lost Spirits" EP is made of:

You should make a bandcamp page, I'd rather listen to something by streaming it.

Alright man, I'll bear that in mind and I'll make one when I just have enough time. That'd be sometime this week...I suppose.

I just need some opinions on the music itself. For the moment, you'll have to bear listening to it on YT.

Not bad.

I'm not a fan of the vocals or the guitar tone. It could also use some faster "Blast" sections.

IT had a ncie atmosphere though. Good music.

6.5-7/10, would like to hear more.

(as a 15 year old, I'm even more impressed, the stuff I wrote then was abysmal. Kudos)

Ah... thanks for the opinion.

Yes, I've asked for review on a few forums and I recieved no negative ones. So I'm happy in general.

thanks a lot

Okay, so I had a few months off from recording. Now , once again I've put some tracks togather - not quite enough for an LP, so I will be recording another EP instead. If eveything goes as planned, it should be out in spring 2014.

There a big shift in terms of influences with this new track (and the ones that will follow) - a lot a mid-era Emperor, Mmid-era Enslaved and quite a lot of Marduk-ish riffs from albums like Nightwing, Heaven Shall Burn and La Grande. I kind of tried to bring in something more than just the same old, primitive Black Metal vibe. I tried to maintain the old feel, but also bring some more experimental stuff in there. Whever I achieved my goal, is for you guys to decide .

Listen and please respond.

Good stuff, your vocals are impressive, and I enjoy the atmosphere. As a fellow 16-year-old black metal musician, I'll just tell you to keep it up. Black metal music is dying, not that it ever actually reached the mainstream world anyway, but I really enjoy what you're doing here. I have to say that I really enjoy the artwork to the Invoking the Lost Spirits EP, did you take that picture yourself or did you get it somewhere?

Also, if you would like, I have my first EP up for free download here: http://deafeneddsbm.bandcamp.com

and if you enjoy it, it'd help if you "liked" the facebook page for information on future releases (coming in the next couple of months): https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deafened/560884687337126

Again, keep it up, and I'll look for any future releases from you.
