Ancient Ceremony - Under Moonlight We Kiss
Review by Jarrett Houston
Under Moonlight We Kiss by Ancient Ceremony is a masterpiece of gothic black metal that captures the essence of dark romanticism and occultism. The album features eight tracks that are a perfect blend of atmospheric keyboards, haunting guitars, thunderous drums, and eerie vocals.
The album opens with the track "Prelude" which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its haunting piano melody and atmospheric soundscape. The next track, "Shadows of the Undead," is a fast-paced and aggressive black metal anthem that showcases the band's technical prowess and versatility.
Other standout tracks on the album include "The Crypt," which features a hauntingly beautiful piano intro that slowly builds up to a crescendo of symphonic black metal, and "The God and the Idol," which is a slower, more atmospheric track that showcases the band's ability to create a hauntingly beautiful soundscape.
