This is a small underground article from DSFA promo zine #3 which takes you back to the very early days of Ancient Rites. Walter passed away a few years ago already and he will never be forgotten but Philip will also always be remembered. His guitarplaying is featured on the "Dark Ritual" demo. We can only imagine what Ancient Rites could have become if Philip was still alive. #ancientrites #ancientritesband #ancientritesofficial #oldschoolblackmetal #blackmetal #darkritual

New painting after my Vision Quest ceremony: The Tipi Where We Gather. It's been such a blessing and a deeply healing journey for me during this one and a half week on Dartmoor with a group of warm-hearted tribal souls. So many things happened, a lot in me shifted and I still couldn't completely get my head around - but all I know is that the future is calling strongly, that the greatest revelation to me (and to all tribal souls I believe) is to carry our ancestors' wisdom and love and move forward into the future with sovereignty, compassion, responsibility, care, and trust. There has been countless prayers we sent out to the land and to the people. There has been laughters and heartfelt tears. There has been so much love holding us all in the circle. There has been so much support from the unseen and from Mother Earth guiding us forward. Love is so deeply present everywhere we walk, and there is a strong force holding us from the land, beneath our feet. All we need is to wake up and listen, all we need is to tune in the voice of the heart. It's a good journey to remember. It's a good journey to release and heal. It's a good time to be born into a new. In the end, the journey is about returning to Love. Love is all there is. I would recommend Vision Quest to anyone interested in connecting with nature for healing and seeking for visions. It's not only about healing us as individuals but about healing the whole village - all the people we wish to serve, the ones came before us and the generations yet to come. My friend Jeremy is an excellent holder of this rite and wisdom keeper of this tradition, a warm, open and genuine soul. He's been holding Vision Quest ceremonies on the land of Dartmoor for over thirty years, doing it in a very humble way with reasonable pricing for the good of each individual and not for profit. Get in touch with me if interested. #visionquest #visionfast #visionaryart #visionaryartist #ancientwisdom #ancientrites #riteofpassage #nativeamerican #shamanichealing #landtime #landhealer #tipi #healinginnature #selfhealers #selfhealing #ancestralhealing #pachamama #motherearth #personalgrowth #spiritualdevelopment

On the Eleusinian Mysteries: “Thrice blessed they of men who see these mystic rites before they go to Hade’s realm.” To die before death! Don’t mean to be such a nerd, but i think the quote is not from Sophocles. It’s from Plutarch’s Moralia (Πλουταρχου Ηθικα). #eleusinianmysteries #eleusis #ancientmysteries #ancientrites #plutarch #moralia #diebeforeyoudie #lifeafterdeath #demeter and #persephone #triptolemus

16 de Mayo de 2001 ANCIENT RITES publica su álbum Dim Carcosa @ancientritesofficial #ancientrites
23 años ya! 🎂 Un día como hoy en 2001, el 16 de Mayo @ancientritesofficial lanzaba su 4to album de estudio a través de @hammerheartrecords666 . "Dim Carcosa" es una obra maestra del Black/Viking Metal sinfónico. En sus 11 canciones, Gunther Theys nos lleva por una narración épica medieval entre la guerra, la victoria y el valhalla. Es un álbum lleno de amplios arreglos orquestales emotivos que se funden con la agresiva barbarie del Metal. "Dim Carcosa", producido por: Hammerheart Records (2001), la banda se convirtió en un culto, "Dim Carcosa" fue lanzado en el apogeo de la banda y tiene influencias de elementos paganos y folclóricos de la mano con las raíces musicales de la banda. Arte de portada de Jan "Örkki" Yrlund (Imperia, Korpiklaani, Manowar). Producida por Christian "Moschus" Moos (Avulsed, Delain, Pestilence). "Dim Carcosa" es increíble . Es épico, majestuoso, aplastante, rápido, pesado, hermoso, contundente, todo lo que podría pedir en mi música. Las guitarras, al hacer riffs, siempre brillan y siempre se tocan con mucha habilidad. Los solos de este álbum son algunos de los más sorprendentes que jamás hayas visto. Son increíblemente melódicos, generalmente a un ritmo más lento, y te dejarán quieto y asombrado. Otro favorito de su discografía junto con el "Fatherland" y una escucha obligada ya! 🍻🇧🇪📓🏞️☁️ . . . . . . #ancientrites #ancientritesofficial #dimcarcosa #blackvikingmetal #hammerheartrecords #belgium #diest #flemish #brabant #belgiumdeathmetal #cdcollector #cdcollection #metalcollector

"Feuersturm Volume II - The Ultimate Storm" (1998) Version: Century Media Records (1998). Acquired on: November 28, 2008. Compilation bought in a second-hand store in Linköping, Sweden, when I visited the city in 2008. This is quite representative of what was happening in the less raw and more technical/melodic side of black metal at the end of the 90s. There are a few "foreign bodies" in here, however, like Cryptopsy or Hypocrisy, for example, but their tracks are OK too, so no harm done. #feuersturm #theultimatestorm #centurymedia #centurymediarecords #compilationcd #doublecd #blackmetalcompilation #blackmetalcollection #cradleoffilth #dimmuborgir #odium #oldmanschild #rottingchrist #mörkgryning #warhammerband #witcheryband #gorgoroth #lordbelial #nagelfar #sacramentum #limbonicart #darkfuneral #hypocrisyband #cryptopsy #mysticcircle #borknagar #ancientrites #noctes
For many ancient civilizations, twilight represented a sacred and mysterious transition. It was viewed as the boundary between day, associated with light, life, and activity, and night, symbolizing darkness, death, and rest. This transition was often interpreted as a moment of encounter between the earthly and the spiritual or divine realms. In ancient cultures, twilight was also associated with deities and religious rituals. For example, in Greek mythology, twilight was personified by the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, who were seen as guardians of the gates of the sky at sunset and sunrise. In other cultures, such as the Egyptian, sunset was linked to the sun god Ra, whose journey through the sky symbolized death and rebirth. Even today, the past seeps into the present, weaving an endless tapestry, with Nature at the center of our essence. - "Between Past & Present" wearing @toonzshop_ 🖤

Enthroned 🇧🇪 Prophecies Of Pagan Fire 29 years ago marks the debut of one of my favorite albums in the history of black metal and the beginning of a quite significant band. "Prophecies of Pagan fire " is an album that stands out due to its unique composition. Although it may seem quite simple and sometimes "repetitive," the truth is quite the opposite. I see this album in parts, as each song seems to be a piece that complements the others, like a single song divided into 10 pieces. This is evident in the intermediate sections of the songs, where they often use the same scale for the riffs but always changing small things. It's these same parts that make this album so enjoyable, as it's dynamic; each song doesn't maintain the same tempo for its entire duration, let alone the riffs. Every riff is perfectly placed in its place and time, just like every song, something that not many people tend to appreciate but which I always highlight. The placement of each song in the album is very important, even if it doesn't seem so. Sabathan's vocals are one of the things I love most about the album; many already know how much I appreciate this type of vocals in black metal. Additionally, the bass lines are quite good and audible, which is rare to see in this genre. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #enthroned #enthronedband #lordsabathan #sabathan #cernunnos #danvandeplas #belgium🇧🇪 #blackmetal #paganart #paganblackmetal #satanicblackmetal #satanicmetal #satanist #satan #satanism #blasphereion #ancientrites #blackmetalcollector #unholyblackmetal #blackmetalcollection #blackmetalcd #evilomenrecords #blackmetal #trvekvlt #trveblackmetal #trueblackmetal #extremetal #instametal #90sclassic #90sblackmetal

“Reca con sé il tiaso e le danze, risa al suono dei flauti. Addormenta le pene, quando nel banchetto divino brilla lo splendore dei grappoli: nei conviti cinti di edera il vino distende il suo velo sopra le menti degli uomini. (…) Non é sapienza il sapere, l’avere pensieri superiori all’umano. Breve é la vita, chi insegue troppi grandi destini non gode il momento presente. (…) Là è lecito alle baccanti celebrare i misteri. (…) Egli concede al potente e al povero in pari misura la quieta gioia del vino, odia colui che non sa vivere lieto i suoi giorni e le notti, da saggio, tenendo il cuore e la mente lontani da uomini tronfi”.

Withering God, Belgium, circa 1993. Withering God was one of the first Belgium BM band. The duo was quite known in the early underground scene thanks to a big commitment in many fanzines and obscure religious organizations back in the early years of 90' era. See also the Brotherhood (or Jarls/or Fraternity) of Balder. Some time traveling informations about it are avaible in zines such as Key of Alocer #2 (1993), Sepulchral Noise #7 (1993) or Daemonium Aeturnus #6 (1993) #blackmetal #blackmetalmusic #blackmetalkvlt #blackmetalband #blackmetalvinyl #blackmetalcollection #blackmetalcollector #blackmetalart #oldblackmetal #fanzine #satan #paganism #ancientrites #mayhem #blackmetalguy #blackmetaltapes #blackmetalhead #blackmetalfan #blackmetaldaily #blackmetalphotography #blackmetalman

In the hallowed embrace of the hedges, the signs of a long-awaited arrival. Spring has come to tend to these verdant brambles, breathing life into their dormant roots once more. Once cloaked in a somber shade, will soon burst forth with delicate hues and sweet blossoms. The guardian of this liminal gateway of the hedge, who holds sway over the border between realms, acknowledges and welcomes offerings made as tribute for passage. So pour the ale, divide the cakes, and blow the smoke into the branches to cross and walk the in-between.

The Book of the Dead, an ancient Egyptian funerary text, is a compendium of spells and rituals intended to guide the deceased through the afterlife and protect them from its perils. Initially reserved for the royalty and elite, the popularity of the Osiris myth during the New Kingdom made the spells seem indispensable, leading to their widespread production and customization based on the buyer’s financial resources. This democratization of the afterlife guide transformed it into a commodity, where individuals could choose the number of spells, illustrations, and the quality of papyrus according to their means. Among its spells, Spell 125 stands out, detailing the judgment of the deceased’s heart by Osiris in the Hall of Truth, a central image in Egyptian mythology. This spell encapsulated the crucial process of the Negative Confession, where the deceased declared innocence of 42 sins before Osiris and other deities. Success in this judgment meant the heart, lighter than the feather of truth, would allow the soul to proceed toward paradise; failure, conversely, led to the soul’s annihilation by the goddess Ammut. The eclectic nature of the Book of the Dead, with its variations across different eras and individual preferences, illustrates the evolving Egyptian concepts of the afterlife. While its core function remained to aid the soul’s journey to the afterlife, the book’s contents and the inclusion of specific spells reflected the changing beliefs and concerns of the Egyptian people over centuries. Despite misconceptions of the book as a magical or mystical text, akin to modern portrayals in popular culture, it was fundamentally a guide for the dead, imbued with the cultural and religious aspirations of ancient Egyptians for a peaceful and eternal existence beyond death.

Here are some great shots of ANCIENT RITES (with Mike from PENTACLE on rhythm guitar) performing live at the ‘With a Dragons Blaze’ festival on July 13th, 1996, which was held at the Voetbalstadion in Beveren-Waas, Belgium. ‘With a Dragons Blaze’ was held over the course of 2 days, a Friday and Saturday; day 1 featuring: CADUCITY, @cradleoffilth, LIAR and OCCULT. Day 2 featured: ANCIENT RITES, @benediction_band, CONGRESS, @enthronedofficial, ETERNAL SOLSTICE, GODDESS OF DESIRE, IMPEDIGON and @inhume_official. A bit of a mashup of bands but nonetheless a heavy lineup. ANCIENT RITES posted these themselves a few days back and I couldn’t resist to not share them, so, as per usual, full credit to them and the photographer who was unfortunately not mentioned. R.I.P.

• Ancient Rites, Enthroned, Avatar & Xastur • Recently I posted a flyer on our IG story of a Belgian black metal show from October 28th, 1995. I was contacted by a musician named Frederic, from the 90s band Rhymes of Destruction, who told me he had some unpublished photos he took at that gig. ———• The photos above are what he sent me. Gritty, scuffed and water damaged to perfection. Mementos of a great time in black metal. The order of bands shown is Ancient Rites, Enthroned, Avatar & Xastur. Lastly is the aforementioned flyer which can also be seen in the background of the live photos. ———• If you’re interested in 90s Belgian black metal, I recommend watching the 1998 documentary “Black Metal”, available in full on YouTube. ———• #ancientrites @ancientritesofficial #avatarband #xastur #enthroned @enthronedofficial @franckslaughter #belgianblackmetal #blackmetal #90sblackmetal
