“Ancestral Cult” is the amazing second full-length studio album by the brand new atmospheric black metal phenomenon, the Berlin-based band Arde, but with important roots in the Spanish metal scene, featuring members from bands like the mighty Ancient Emblem or Death Above…
To find some references in this genre is so easy, you only have to name bands like Wolves in the Throne Room, Fen or Wodensthrone… but there is something distinctive in the music Arde plays which makes it absolutely different and exceptional, call it anger, call it wrath, maybe call it frustration or just simply disappointment… the truth is that you will not find easy or hopeful tunes here, but the fury and passion of a band that, literally, is exploding from the inside out like a newborn star…
