about
Countless hours of living and breathing the concept behind “Ancestral Cult”, Arde forged a masterful work of atmospheric dense Black Metal wholly dedicated to ancient cults about goddesses and the female figure which holds a central place in many ancestral cultures. By addressing the struggle of women over time, Arde expresses with visceral intent the anger and frustration of and for the world we live in. The dedication to our destruction fuels “Ancestral Cult” with the fire and passion its concept urges for and such traits blaze in the blistering sound the album purveys.
Sonically enticing and utterly organic, the vigorous production showcases its dynamism through the miasma of cascading riffs bursting with the urgence and virulence of an avalanche, intimately partnering with a throbbing pulse of rhythmic fierceness. Sheerly intense, dexterous melodies overwhelm the ether on fast piercing gashes or heavy slower moments where the heart bleeds and the voice reach for the heavens with a poignant vocal performance.
Although a small intermission halfway “Ancestral Cult”, “Síle” becomes the central piece on this record. A bucolic, beautifully ethereal performance by Cinder Well mystically invokes Mother Nature and the power and love that speaks from her and within her.
Released on Tape and Vinyl through Wolves of Hades, in conspiracy with Alerta Antifascista, and CD through Darkwoods, experience and nourish the magic, the light and the shadow, the sacred healing nature of our Mother Goddesses on an all-out epic journey of Black Metal ecstasy.

Just the intro sold me. Loving the arrangement. I don't know what kind of dark alchemy this is but I certainly won't argue with the results.

Excellent release! Modern BM with evil vocals, grim and at times dissonant guitars and a pounding bass. Well balanced production too, not to raw nor overly polished.

Short but great fun. The production on this one is out of this world delicate. The whole mix evolves into one abrasive behemoth, without lacking impact. Whoever was responsible for this sound, knew exactly what he was doing.
