PRESENTED ON BLACK VINYL WITH PRINTED INNER SLEEVE CONTAINING LYRICS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of Ancient Wisdom trace back to 1992 when the project was formed by Marcus E. Norman (Throne of Ahaz\/Bewitched) in Umeå, Sweden as Pain, then Ancient. After the release of the first demo ‘In The Eye Of The Serpent’ in 1993, the name was updated to Ancient Wisdom \u0026amp; the recording of the second demo, ‘Through Rivers Of The Eternal Blackness’ swiftly followed in December of 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the back of this, a deal was signed with Italian label Avantgarde Music, leading to the recording of the full-length debut album, ‘For Snow Covered The Northland’. The studio sessions took place in December of 1994, though the album did not see the light of day until 1996.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘For Snow Covered The Northland’ was a triumphant journey of atmospheric \u0026amp; melodic blackened doom metal, with sombre \u0026amp; hypnotic guitar leads permeating the album to great effect amid the anguished screams. Also utilising acoustic guitar \u0026amp; piano\/keyboard passages, the opus overall exudes an ambience of deep melancholy \u0026amp; despair. The album was recorded at The Garageland Studio \u0026amp; produced by Henrik Kjellberg, plus drum programming was made by Fredrik Thorendal, founding member of Swedish legends, Meshuggah.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘For Snow Covered The Northland’ has been remastered for this release \u0026amp; is presented on black vinyl with printed inner sleeve including full lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003e1.
