 Ancient Rites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

However painful this episode was to the band, they decided to continue and Stefan's position was taken by his drum roadie Walter Van Cortenberg.
During their existence the band has been subjected to boycotts, bomb threats and various other misfortunes, but this did little to stop them and only strengthened their resolve to push on.

 Ancient - Black Metal
Ancient develop this with a prowess for using speed-picking to create flowing muscular serpents of sound self-devouring and returning to surprisingly rock-y riffs and choruses.
Like many atmospheric bands there are often long riding choruses with melodic variations, and these contain much of the eventual emotion in their integration of voice, guitar tone, and keyboard into almost ceremonial pieces.
Most of us in the present time cannot imagine this band not being terrible overblown gothic heavy metal, but they were once great, and this compilation of 7" tracks and the undernoticed EP "Trolltaar" from 1995 is convincing in establishing the strength and vitality of this second-wave Norwegian act.

 BNR Metal Pages -- Ancient   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The venerable fl metal band Ancient originated in 1992 as a solo project for Aphazel, who has remained the one constant amidst numerous changes over the years both in lineups and in home countries (originating in Norway, the band spent some time in the US and now calls Italy home).
Stylistically, Ancient is first and foremost a fl metal band, enough so that they have been described in the past as either generic or copyists.
Yes, most of their albums do little to expand the genre, but Ancient is still an accomplished band worthy of attention, and if nothing else serve as fine representatives of fl metal.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Interview - ANCIENT RITES - July 2001
ANCIENT RITES are one of the oldest Black Metal-bands of our time, neither sounding like the nihilist Norwegian nor the Gothic-induced newer school, but basically only like themselves, as strange as that might sound.
This way the different periods in the band's history are represented and the roots and early years of the band are presented to the listener as well.
This love/hate relationship between the German scene and ANCIENT RITES was a bit disappointing, because I always had many German friends and always considered Germany as one of the leading countries in Metal, ANCIENT RITES is a band with ancient Metal-traditions, we found it strange the majority of German fans never recognized that.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Band History - ANCIENT RITES
Throughout the years of A.R.'s existence the band had to deal with a lot of misfortune (boycotts, bomb threats, violence at concerts, ripped off for large amounts of money by labels and promoters, members ending up in hospital or dying), however anger can be turned into power and all the hardship can be an inspiration.
After a negotiation and business transaction between the labels ANCIENT RITES moved from Mascot Records to Hammerheart Records for which a fourth full length entitled "Dim Carcosa" was recorded in winter 2000/2001.
Not long afterwards, the band binds its ties again with Bart Vandereycken, who played the guitars on the first two albums as well as the EP's which have reached cult status by now.
