Ancient Rites
Ancient Rites is a melodic metal band from Belgium. The live CD, “The hordes stood as one” is from 2002 and they are busy with a new CD. It was a long time ago that Ancient Rites gave a concert in Holland.
Music
Gunthers voice is very well this night. There are 2 new bandmembers, the new guitarist Raf Jansen and the old keyboard player Domingo Smets, on the bass guitar now, they play very well this evening. The guitar sound is very full, 3 guitars, really great sound. They play old tracks from the “dim carcosa” cd, like Victory or Valhalla and On golden fields, the audience liked that. The live sound in JV Unitas is very good and the new ancient rites sound engineer, Mark, is also great!

Performance
The show was perfect and very dark, not so typical for Ancient Rites in Holland, but for Belgium a normal case. The light intro was a pentagram, made by the JV Unitas light engineer. There was not much frontlight. The only drawback was the backlight for making pictures. Gunther Theys and the rest of the band enjoyed the audience. It was a excellent home match for Erik Sprooten.
