It has been 17 years, but finally the time has come for the reaper to wield his scythe once again. Ancient Wisdom is the musical alter ego of Marcus E. Norman, veteran of the Swedish black metal scene and member of Naglfar and Bewitched. To us, not only he means one of the best cult acts of the ’90s and early ’00s, but also one of the first artists to find a home under the Avantgarde Music banner, back in 1993.

Formed by Norman in Umeå, Sweden, under the name Ancient in 1992 as a full band, Ancient recorded their demo tape In the Eye of the Serpent. In 1993 the name was changed into Ancient Wisdom, and in December the second demo tape Through Rivers of the Eternal Blackness was recorded, after which the band signed a record deal with Avantgarde Music. In December 1994 the debut album For Snow Covered the Northland was recorded, but due to some technical errors it was not released until 1996, and during this time Marcus decided to continue the project on his own.

From 1997 to 2004 Ancient Wisdom recorded and released three other albums: The Calling (1997), ...and the Physical Shape of Light Bled (2000) and Cometh Doom, Cometh Death (2004), before entering a hiatus seventeen-year long.

A Celebration in Honor of Death, the fifth full length album from Ancient Wisdom and their comeback after such a long time, displays a dismal and more sinister side of this Swedish entity that has been spreading its darkness since 1992. 7 tracks of the purest death worship, draped in haunting melodies and an atmosphere reeking of broken coffins and graveyard dust.

Also contains an enhanced video section with:

SHADOW RECORDS (distributed & marketed by REGAIN RECORDS) is proud to present LIFVSLEDA’s debut EP, Manifest MMXIX, on CD, 12” vinyl, and cassette tape formats.
LIFVSLEDA was spawned to earthly existence with the aim to recapture the old feeling of early Nordic black metal - a scene the members, in one way or another and in various constellations, have been involved with since its glorious beginning. With a strong fascination with death and the magic of memento mori, they summon the spirits of old, unleashing four songs of death-worshiping Swedish black metal. Recorded on broken instruments, literally out in the wild, surrounded by the Swedish woods and a creeping darkness, you can feel the rotten stench and presence of something great that once was.
With LIFVSLEDA’s Manifest MMIX black metal is reborn.
