Ancient Wisdom

For Snow Covered the North

Black/Doom metal with lyrics in the vain of Immortal. Very nice music with good riffs and nice keyboard work. The music sounds like ordinary B.M. but it's so slow I call it doomy. This makes the music also more beautiful then other B.M. bands. I like the music and the riffs alot, plus that the production is very good, but the vocals are abit to ordinary grimm to be anything special and that draws the rating down a bit. It some times reminds of Bethlehem, but only briefly. A plus is the long playing time of 59 min.

The Calling

Ancient Wisdom is back wit hanother album and it seems that alot of things have happened in the band. If I'm not totally wrong it's nowadays a solo band or almost a solo band. Still it's a great band and this album is better then the debut. They have learned alot and the material, the production and the perfomance has improved. It still reminds heavily of the debut and it's still original and good Doom/black metal worth checking out. Cool with a red CD...
