We discuss a technique to construct Ricci-flat hermitian metrics oncomplements of (some) anticanonical divisors of almost homogeneous manifoldsand discuss when this metric is complete and K\"ahler. This construction has astrong interplay with invariance groups of the same dimension as the manifoldacting with an open orbit. Lie groups of this type we call divisorial. As anapplication we can describe compact manifolds admitting a divisoriallyinvariant K\"ahler metric on an open subset. Finally, we see a connectionbetween the reducibility of the anticanonical divisor and the non-triviality ofthe K\"ahler cone on the complement.
