ANCIENT CEREMONY (GERMANY)

The band, founded in 1989 as "Ancient" and adding the "Ceremony" adjunct upon discovery of the Dutch band. Chris Anderle and Franz Josef Krebs began to gather musicians who were able to express their morbid moods and unholy emotions through litanies of dark, extreme Metal music. Ancient Ceremony became a reality when several members (partly secessionists) joined the band to complete the line-up under the Winter Moon of 1991. Here began the formation of the band’s musical identity with powerful guitars, atmospheric keyboards, extreme vocals and Satanic lyrics. In 1993 the first successful step into the international underground was done with the “WHERE SERPENTS REIGN” demo. The first live appearance took place in June 1992 and performances with bands such as In Flames, Absu and Impaled Nazarene were following. February 1994 saw the own-release of the “CEMETARY VISIONS” cult-MCD, a dark infernal Metal aria which was re-issued one year later through Alister Records and achieved global distribution.
