paganchief Got this recommended to me because I enjoy a selection of Graveland's releases, and if that's what you're looking for too this album has the sound and feel of pagan going to war (& glory). I don't think you'll be disappointed, athough Ancestors Blood has a cleaner, somewhat minimalistic soundscape compared with some of Graveland's best. Vocals are pretty high pitched (think Burzum, Silencer'esque).
The clean production and lack of acoustic instruments to create a rich soundscape hurts it.
3,8/5 Favorite track: To war and glory.

about

Re-release of the debut - out now!

Formed in winter 2002 in Finland, to express their tribute to heathen beliefs and commemorate ancient times with magic and rituals. This debut showed Ancestors Blood with all their trademark elements as they appeared on their demos, yet more mature and executed in the most professional ways. During the 50 minutes playingtime, you'll find a superb mix of storming and energetic aggression and bombastic atmospheres, with long traditional intros and outros.

This is not simply a pagan black metal album; it's a highly atmospheric and diverse esoteric heathen black metal album, sometimes reminding of Dimmu Borgir's "Stormblast" and Osculum Infame's first album, yet should also appeal to fans of Summoning for it's epic and bombastic sounds. Originally released in 2007, it's been out of print and unavailable for a couple of years now, so we repressed a few copies. Get it now if you haven't already.

CD repress out now, no bonustracks, no new artwork. LP also available.
