Ancient Rites is a Belgian black metal band formed in 1988. The initial lineup consisted of guitar players Johan and Phillip, drummer Stefan, and Gunther Theys on bass and vocals. In 1990, the Dark Ritual demo was released just as black metal was gaining importance in the metal scene. After the demo release, Phillip died in a car crash and Stefan committed suicide. The band continued with Walter van Cortenberg on drums.
