Eternal Fear - Ancient Woods

Review by Menorca Explorer

Ancient Woods by Eternal Fear: A Haunting Journey Through Shadows and Echoes Alright, let me just say this upfront—Ancient Woods isn’t your typical electronic album. Released back in 1995 by Eternal Fear (a project born outta Poland and France), it’s like stepping into a foggy forest where time doesn’t exist. The mix of ambient, dungeon synth, and dark ambient vibes makes it feel ancient but futuristic at the same time. It’s not perfect—it kinda drags in spots—but damn if it doesn’t stick with you. First off, shoutout to Warhagan Records and Obscure Dungeon Records for putting this thing out there. They didn’t just release an album; they unleashed something that feels more like a ritual than music. Tracks like “Hymn Of Forgotten Woods” and “The Celtic History” hit different, man. Like, I still think about them days later. Take “Hymn Of Forgotten Woods,” for example. That track alone could soundtrack every haunted forest scene ever filmed. There’s this eerie melody looping over these deep, growling tones, and it’s so simple yet completely hypnotic. Every time I hear it, I picture myself wandering through some moss-covered ruins, half-expecting ghostly figures to pop up. But instead of freaking me out, it’s oddly comforting? Weird, right? Maybe that’s why it stuck in my head. And then there’s “The Celtic History.” This one’s got this slow-building tension that sneaks up on ya. You start off thinking, "Oh cool, chill vibes," but before you know it, the layers build into this massive wave of sound. By the end, you’re not sure whether to cry or grab a sword and charge into battle. Honestly, it reminds me of those moments when you’re lying awake at night, staring at the ceiling, letting all your thoughts spiral. Yeah, it’s heavy like that. One thing I gotta mention is how repetitive some of the tracks are. Songs like “Hymn Of Sorrow” and “The Time Of Revenge” show up twice, which might seem lazy, but honestly? It works here. It’s like the album itself is stuck in a loop, trapped between past and present. Kinda poetic when you think about it. What gets me most about Ancient Woods is how unapologetically raw it feels. Nothing polished or shiny about it—it’s grimy, shadowy, and full of cracks. And honestly? That’s what makes it unforgettable. Listening to it feels less like entertainment and more like stumbling across someone’s secret diary written in whispers and echoes. So yeah, here’s the kicker: after spinning this album, I couldn’t help but wonder… what happens when trees dream? Because listening to Ancient Woods, I swear I heard their nightmares.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a cool fact: The album *Ancient Woods* by Eternal Fear is like a time capsule of dark, atmospheric sounds. Released in 1995, it blends ambient, dungeon synth, and dark ambient vibes, pulling you into its moody world. What’s wild is that this Polish-French project was released under two labels—Warhagan Records and Obscure Dungeon Records—giving it a unique cross-European touch. Tracks like "Hymn of Forgotten Woods" and "Hymn of Sorrow" feel like echoes from another era, perfect for getting lost in the shadows of the past. It’s almost like the album itself is a forgotten forest waiting to be explored.
