The Divination of Antiquity

The Divination of Antiquity is the fourth studio album by the English black metal band Winterfylleth, released on 6 October 2014 through Candlelight Records.

The album's title is meant as an encouragement to study history and learn from experience in order to not repeat previous mistakes.

It ties in with an overall message about cyclical history and an understanding of contemporary times as characterised by monetary rule and exploitation.

[2] Herr Møller of Metal.de wrote that The Divination of Antiquity continues Winterfylleth's combination of Nordic black metal with folk elements and a focus on melody, but reaches a higher quality level than previous albums.

He called it one of the best melodic black metal albums of the year, wrote that every track is good and that "Whisper of the Elements" stands out as one of the most musically dynamic songs in its genre.
