ANCIENT VVISDOM

Next year will mark the 10th anniversary of an influential occult album, one that belongs into every well-sorted dark rock and doom record collection. And to celebrate this iconic band‘s past decade in glorious style, Argonauta Records is proud to release a 10th anniversary edition of “A Godlike Inferno“ by ANCIENT VVISDOM in early 2021!

Not unlike early death rock and neo-folkore sound, Ancient VVisdom incorporates electric guitar effects, synth sounds, vocal harmonies and abstract percussion to create a deeper, ethereal quality to their minimalist arrangements. The powerfully honest voice by band mastermind, singer and songwriter Nathan Opposition is complimented by lyrics ranging from mysteries of the occult, paganism, satanic philosophy, and forbidden knowledge. In 2011, Ancient VVisdom‘s critically acclaimed debut album “A Godlike Inferno” was released, as if commanded by the dark one himself.

Ten years later and following their latest, 2019- album Mundus, the band’s label Argonauta Records will reissue “A Godlike Inferno” in an ultimate anniversary edition, including a W.A.S.P. cover bonus track! Travelling back in time, Ancient VVisdom have just unleashed an in-depth video documentary, sharing memories from the Godlike Inferno era!

“Godlike brings back so many great memories. It’s really nice to reflect on the past and remember the amazing times we had!“ Nathan says.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to still remain friends with band members from this era of Ancient VVisdom. We are actually discussing working together again!

Thinking about those days and the up’s and down’s of everything that was and is Ancient VVisdom, I wouldn’t trade it for anything and our friendships are the bonds that we will remember for the rest of our lives. The Friends we’ve made, the bands we’ve played shows with and toured with, the fans that become friends, it’s really a magickal experience to be a part of something like that.

It’s really a powerful thing to have friends like this. It means the world to me. This video is a window into the world of Ancient VVisdom. I hope you enjoy it.“

Norwegian progressive extreme metal band ENSLAVED will return to the US and Canada in early 2013 for a headlining, 20-show Winter Rite tour, joined by US doom metallers PALLBEARER and occult rockers ANCIENT VVISDOM as openers. Kick-off is in Philadelphia on January 30th with the tour closing in New York City on February 22nd.

Enslaved rhythm guitarist/songwriter/lyricist Ivar Bjørnson checks in from Norway about the upcoming trek: “North America has become like a second home-shore to us; the rising support we’ve been getting for the last albums and tours has been amazing! We’re more than ready to come over again and play our new album Riitiir live to show that the new material is extremely well-fitted for a live setting, and to reflect the enthusiasm and dedication we’ve been getting from the fans over there! See you on the road!”
