CD ReviewsONE OF THE BEST BLACK METAL CDS OF THE 90's Thomas Van Denburgh | Wayne, NJ USA | 06/28/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) ""Mad Grandiose Bloodfields" by Ancient is amazing. "Willothewisp," "The Draining," "Blackeyes," and "A Mad Blood Scenario" are the best songs on the cd. In this cd, songs like "Willothewisp" and "The Draining" use more of a female voice than its predecessor, "The Cainian Chronicles." I like this element. In "The Draining," they have a female voice singing at the same time as the male voice. This is an interesting effect. Synthesizers are laced into some songs. It gives an eerie effect. If you are looking for an entertaining cd that won't bore you in a few days, then buy this cd. Even though they have an essence similar to many other bands, they are still one of my favorite bands because they have an interesting sound and the lyrics are not retarted." The best black metal release of 1997 jack shear | Apalachin, NY USA | 05/19/1998 (5 out of 5 stars) ""Mad Grandiose Bloodfiends" is a destined to be considered a classic in the black metal genre. With this album, Ancient have proven that they are one of the leading creative forces in underground metal. The music is both brutal and very unique and innovative. I highly recommend this album to anyone interested in bands such as Cradle of Filth, Emperor, etc. Hail the Bloodfiends!" Ancient-Where The hate all started...... lordinfernus | FLORIDA | 01/20/2004 (3 out of 5 stars) "Norway's Ancient has always had a dogged relationship with the press and fans alike. Always judged on the silly image and never the music or atmosphere. I've always loved the band, so I guess i'm biased. But also, I come from the background of loving more primitive sounds(Demoncy, Nachtmysticum,etc.), so usually people are surprised at my admiration for this horde. While this definitely is not my favorite Ancient disc,(that honor is reserved for Svartlvheim). This disc has so much to offer,except for tinniness that sometimes overtakes the mix. The Draining, Um Sonho Psycodelico, and Vampirize Natasha, are all atmospheric headbanging masterpieces. This album is best suited for the headphones, and let yourself drift away. Don't let all of the bad press and pseudo-goth posturings, scare you away. Just give Ancient a chance......."
