The Cainian Chronicle
The Cainian Chronicle is Ancient’s second full length release. The album has some sort of twisted legacy towards it with the case of Jarno Elg, a Finnish Satanist who allegedly listened to some songs from this album while instigating others to torture the victim and having others eat parts of the 23-year old man. On another note, the album’s length is 66 minutes and six seconds long, which brings on the number of the Beast, 666, from numerology.
All music by Aphazel except for 5 by Aphazel and Alex Kurtagić and 9 by Kaiaphas.
All lyrics by Kaiaphas except 5 taken from Dante’s Divine Comedy.

The Halls of Eternity
The Halls of Eternity is Ancient's fourth full-length release. The cover-art is airbrushed by Perre, a Flemish airbrush artist.
This is the first album to feature Aphazel, as band's vocalist. He recorded almost the entire album himself, except for drums, female vocals and guest appearance by Jesus Christ! on one song. Jesus Christ! was a member of the band, but he wasn't able to attend the recording process.

Det Glemte Riket
