Still sealed digipak

The 1996 debut album of Scheitan from Northern Sweden might until today have remained fairly unnoticed even by long-time scene enthusiasts. Those who unearth it though are confronted with a raging Black Metal gem of piercing screams, freezing guitars battling heavy bass, relentless drums pound on occasional keyboard injections, all flourishing in an energetic soundscape which sets a perfect stage for the skillful songwriting that consciously blends an atmospheric base with unpredictable dynamics. To us, all these credentials alongside its authentic feverish passion of a mid-90’s debut album arguably qualify Travelling In Ancient Times as an obscure Swedish Black Metal classic, somewhere between The Rage Of The Northmen, Nord and Enter The Moonlight Gate. This is an excellent piece of work that claim a rightful place in the Black Metal underground history. Featuring members from Helltrain, Incinerator, The Everdawn, Satariel, Decortication and The Moaning
