Ancient Rites - Rvbicon Review
Sunday June 18, 2006
Don't ask me how to pronounce the album title. It seems like it should be Rubicon, but regardless of the title, this is a good album. It's epic black metal from Belgium that is really diverse. Ancient Rites has three guitarists and puts them all to good use, plus throws keyboard in for added atmosphere. With 7 band members they are able to construct very complex songs with many different layers and vocal styles.

Obviously the title is Rubicon. U was sometimes written as V in the Middle Ages, and this band is obsessed with the Middle Ages. (This CD rocks, by the way.)
