To Tread The Ancient Waters is the debut album of the Swedish/German doomy goth metal band Amaurot. The seed for Amaurot was sown in 2019 when German vocalist Lisa Rieger (from the symphonic metal band Hydra) and Swedish guitarist Peter Svensson (Heir Corpse One, Cult Of The Vox, Warmagic, Void Moon, Assassin’s Blade, Cales, Goatess) got in contact to create a new band combining their talents and diverse influences. With Lisa providing clean vocals, background choirs and growls, and Peter playing guitar and keyboards, the line-up was completed by two other guys from Sweden: drummer Thomas Hedlund (The Ancient’s Rebirth, Pagan Rites, Void Moon) and bassist Magnus Hultman (Cult Of The Fox). Though deeply immersed in the classic doom field (Candlemass, My Dying Bride, Lake Of Tears, Katatonia) Amaurot combines their sound with influences from (gothic) bands like Draconian, Crematory, Leaves Eyes, Xandria, Therion, Summoning and (early) Within Temptation. To Tread The Ancient Waters features guest appearances from Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Stygian Dark, Revolting, Heir Corpse One, Massacre), Sabine Meusel (Xiphea), Sean Vukovic (Forsaken) and Marcus Rosenkvist (Heir Corpse One, Void Moon).
