Ancient--The Halls of Eternity

Ancient--The Halls of Eternity (1999/Metal Blade) Rating--7.0

Death metal with vocals than lean towards Black, but the screech is not too high or extreme. Occasional gothic-like key work lends some atmosphere, and Kimberly Goss (of Sinergy) offers spoken portions to several of the songs as well. It's a shame to see her powerful voice used in such a limited role, however...
Good, tight riffing marks "Spiritual Supremacy," and both "A Woeful Summoning" and "The Battle of the Ancient Warriors" are also adequate.
"I, Madman" is a top cut, complete with nasty and evil underlying guitar work that rolls along nicely.
TRACK LIST: Cast Into the Unfathomed Deeps/Born in Flames/The Battle of the Ancient Warriors/A Woeful Summoning/ Cosmic Exile/Spiritual Supremacy/The Heritage/I, Madman/From Behind Comes the Sword/The Halls of Eternity/Arrival
