   About ANCIENT

Ancient was originally a solo- project of guitarist and composer Aphazel, started in Norway in the year of 1992. Aphazel quickly developed his project of atmospheric and dark Black Metal into a full band with Grimm as vocalist/ drummer. The two released the "Eerily Howling Winds" demo and the "Det Glemte Riket" 7" in the years 1993 and 1994, and the band quickly established a strong following in the underground Black Metal scene worldwide, and, among others, Listenable Records/ Osmose noticed the potential of this band and released the debut album of Ancient namely "Svartalvheim". This album was bound to be one of the most sold and appreciated of this musical genre and is today considered a Black Metal classic. The mini album "Trolltaar" followed a year later and ended up being the last release with Grimm, who went into other directions musically.

Aphazel moved to USA and recruited Lord Kaiaphas as the new vocalist. Impressed by his performance in the bands Grand Belials Key and Thokk, he was sure of his talent and value for the band. An extensive contract with Metal Blade Records was signed and in 1996, together with Kimberly Goss and Kjetil, they released the "The Cainian Chronicle" filled with big guitars and great atmospheres, followed by a European tour and the video, "Liliths Embrace". This album also went on to become a classic in the genre.

1997, a few line- up changes took place and the album "Mad Grandiose Bloodfiends" was released, introducing guitarist/ keyboardist Jesus Christ ! A huge world tour followed, and afterwards, tired of life in the USA, Aphazel decided to move to back to Europe, this time Italy, after having met female vocalist Deadly Kristin. before to record the new album Hammerheart Records released the compilation album "Det Glemte Riket" with the alredy sold out mini cd "Trolltaar" and the 7" Det Glemte Riket plus some other rarities.

1999 brought "The Halls Of Eternity", a return to a heavier sound with Aphazel as the bands new vocalist, and Dhilorz was recruited on bass. Some touring followed including the bands first tour through Scandinavia. In 2000 Ancient did an impressive performance at the Wacken festival with new drummer Grom, receiving an excellent feedback by press, record company and fans. The mini album "God Loves The Dead" was released in January 2001, including special material like re-mixes, a cover, videos and other special material along with the title track, a release mainly for the die hard fans, waiting for the release of Proxima Centauri.

Recorded at the studio of Andy La Rocque, Los Angered Recording, and mastered at Sterling Sound, the band had created not just a masterpiece, but also an album with a production far better than the previous releases."Proxima Centauri", an album showing a great leap forward for the band, in all ways possible, showed a style more aggressive, heavier, more technical and complete than the Ancient from the past. A long tour followed and Ancient visited new places this time - like Mexico, East Europe, and was proud to be the first black metal band to ever visit countries like Israel, Bulgaria and Romania ( by the famous Transilvania region). After this, another line- up change took place and Deadly Kristin left the band due to practical reasons.

Now, 2 ½ years have passed since the release of Proxima Centauri and finally Night Visit arrives. This time with more input from all band members, the album shows several new elements in the bands sound resulting in an album not only well performed and composed, but also in a great evolution for the band. Including the promo-video for the title- track ( a story about a girl assailed by the dead), and a guest appearance of Lord Kaiaphas in the track Rape The Children Of Abel, this is a release all Ancient fans have been waiting for. Mixed by Fredrik Nordström at Sweden's famous Studio Fredman, Night Visit has been gathering a lot of interest from newer fans. It is an aggressive album, with great power and heaviness, yet with a good amount of melodic and atmospheric parts which creates the sound of Ancient 2004. As always, the band offers a good variety of songs, which results in an album hard to get bored of quickly. In March 2005 the greek label Sleazy Rider Records Re-released "Det Glemte Riket" and also Eerily Howling Winds (The Ante-diluvian Tapes) Ancient now have returned from the official European Tour of Night VisiTour with Denmarks Illdisposed (Roadrunner Recs.) as co-headliners and are in the midst of embarking on further tours in U.S., Canada, East Europe and more, to bring their music to every possible corner of the globe.

Beware their Nocturnal Visit!

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!

There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.

Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."

And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!

Hugs from Brazil,
