Title: As good as "Fatherland"
Review: while continuing in the same direction of the earlier album, Dim Carcosa features a bit more melody, still, with the same dose of 'wickedness' present on Fatherland. no doubt this album will become (if not already has) a reference in melodic black metal without the cheesiness of most 'melodic' black metal outfits. tales of battles, fallen gods, legends, sea adventures, this is what ancient rites is about: a journey back in time to witness old ancestral times and lore. and what a great job they do! the mesmerizing opener brings the seashore and its anchored ships in front of your 'eyes' with such an intensity, you forget that you're a part of the current century. then there's "Exile"... where does this drummer come from?????. i almost felt unworthy! take this advice and listen to it alone: you dont want anybody to see you making sails out of your living room curtains, swinging some imaginary sword or playing air guitar on "Exile" or "And the horns called for war"!
