The Diabolic Serenades, by Ancient Rites

The Diabolic Serenades

by Ancient Rites

supported by

Stijn Van Hees A dark classic, it doesn't exactly fit in your typical black nor death metal sounds from the nineties but it surely is a classic record from a band that helped shape the scene i W-Europe. Favorite track: Land Of Frost & Despair.

Replicate Extinction This is one of my favorite all time albums. It is a super underrated gem that seemed to go largely ignored by society. What a shame. Although the drum track is clearly programmed, the song writing here is way ahead of its time. An amazing combination of black metal and death metal. The vocals appear to be tuned down on purpose to create a more demonic atmosphere. It's a nice touch. Listen to this, you will be blown away. Favorite track: Assyrian Empire.

Rich Kinman I love the production on this!, has a much darker feel than their later music! When bands get cleaner productions, it takes away from the music! This one throws down!

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Menschenmühle

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken
