ANCIENT RITES / UNCANNY

Release Year: 2016
Artist Origin: BEL/SWE
Style: mysterious black / violent death metal

two seminal gangs from Belgium and Sweden have made history by releasing this split album [1993] to fascinate the metal underground by very individual take on mysterious black and violent death subgenres: initially pressed on vinyl only, it has made a huge impact upon its release and remains refreshingly capturing up to this day: Ancient Rites deliver four epics from their 1992's EP recordings, while Uncanny terrorize with six devastating numbers, written exclusively for this split; official CD re-issue comes with sixteen page booklet, featuring all lyrics, vintage pictures and flyers, as well as old interview with Gunther Theys
