Ancient Ceremony – The Devil Introduces... (demo)

Biography
Back in 1989, 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 sessionists) 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.
Inspired and influenced by many different genres of Metal music, classical composers, horror movie soundtracks, photographies presenting dark erotica or sinful sexuality and also literature of a Satanic, Gothic or occult nature, Ancient Ceremony already here could easily proof that their individually created “Devilish Trinity“ - consisting of music, lyrics and artwork - is to be seen as a very important aspect in the band’s concept from the first day on.

Such an incredible and underated band. The gothic, occult, ritualistic sounding atmosphere on their first 2 albums, "Under Moonlight We Kiss" and "Fallen Angel's Symphony" is truly unique in metal and equalled only by a handful of other bands. Shame they had to break up, but they were moving towards a harsher, traditional Black metal sound anyway.
