Here it comes, Ancient's 8th album. I think that it is pointless to introduce Ancient to you because everyone who's into Black Metal surely knows them. Ancient continue playing music through the familiar paths they've followed for all the years of their existence.
Pure, brutal Black Metal with extra distorted vocals. The drums sound like the end of the world is near and complete destruction is inevitable. The guitars sound like hell itself has come to conquer the earth and everything that's on it.
Despite the extreme Black Metal style that Ancient play on "Night Visit, the songs are not as simple as one might think. They are complex compositions and that simply shows everyone how good musicians Ancient are.
You can also find some melodic points on "Night Visit with keyboards and violins. Those elements make the whole atmosphere even more dark and cold.
In conclusion I have to suggest this album to every Black Metal fan and not only to them. It is a good album and everyone should give it a shot.
