Conjuring the sinister spirits of yesteryear, MOENEN OF XEZBETH rise to deliver their first full incantation of mid-paced black metal, Ancient Spells of Darkness..., with its seven arcane invocations primed to unleash their plague on all who bear witness. Captured with the same approach and under the same austere conditions as their preceding demo and EP, Ancient Spells of Darkness... thus realizes the same unearthly effect, yet it is even more sinister and oppressive. These foreboding hymns serve as a conduit for the return of the original black flame, which was first sparked by MOENEN OF XEZBETH's revered forbears, has since nurtured itself in the underworld, and is now emboldened to return in its dark glory.
