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 Divination of Antiquity is the fourth studio album by the English black metal band Winterfylleth. According to the band's singer Chris Naughton, the band members invested more time in writing the songs than they had for the previous albums, creating many versions of the songs and rearranging them multiple times. 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.[1]
Release
Candlelight Records released The Divination of Antiquity on 6 October 2014.

According to Naughton, the purpose is to represent "the immense vastness and beauty of England".[1] "Whisper of the Elements" was released as a single with a lyric video on 15 August 2014.[2]
