Anciients - Following the Voice (Official Premiere)

[@fattocatto5135]

Such an underrated band they really need more attention

[@joaolourenco8419]

Just to keep the comment section alive, I love the two albums this band, its a nice between other sounds I like

[@tamasf]

Release date October 14th...that means I'll be viewing this song here at least 75 more times. More likely quite more than that. Fuck yeah Anciients!

[@rumblepac6823]

Thank you for the music. -ABBA

Many nights I have wasted Watch the sun rise As my heart beats faster Gruesome world my eyes see Thoughts that race will never sleep Hate the light, lie in wait My curse is mine to create Sweat soaked skin, darkened Hallways Stay inside, hide with my demons Dangerous game Can't get away Full of regret I am a slave Hate the light, lie in wait My curse is mine to create Will crushed by disease losing sanity Feel I have no choice Following the voice Damage done Death roll Blood soaked Dead soul Sliced flesh Brains cut Arms twitch Eyes shut There is no hope

[@rodrickoftaokingdom1557]

I'm late to the party but glad I found this band just now.

[@RisTheGreat29]

I have been awaiting this album for so long. The song crushes and all is right with the world as a result. Bring it on!

[@DocteurZeuhl]

Is that the album I have been waiting from Opeth for the last 8 years?

[@UponThisAltar]

More or less? But that being said Sorceress has the possibility of actually being good. Title track was a step in the right direction again at least.

[@LurchyScott]

Although I enjoy the song, I agree. To see it's the album opener as well has me a bit concerned. It was the same feeling I got with Silence In The Snow by Trivium. I was okay with the song until I found out it was the album opener and it made me a bit...nervous. Needless to say my nervousness was correct and that album disappointed me tremendously. I hope Sorceress isn't the same. I enjoyed both Pale Communion and Heritage but Sorceress definitely is missing something.

[@chuckandimeforeve]

don't see the comparison tbh. doesn't really sound like them at all, and with all do respect to this Canadian band, they're nowhere near as good

[@Joker-kk6vz]

this band have a lot of influences by mastodon and opeth xd

[@StonedToDeliverance]

So true! I hear it too.

[@BeingBadAtMaths]

I've been waiting so long for this.

[@lschaegis]

MY BODY IS READY

[@conradbarnard5807]

[@clevelandbrown5709]

[@lolh4x]

Holy shit this is super good. And they are from fucking Vancouver. I might have went to school with these dudes, haha. This is dope boys.

[@jonathanglenn8527]

FUCK YES!!

[@suddenviolence3760]

found this band by accidentally wearing their shirt. couldn't be more satisfied

[@Foxillon]

Lol how does that happen?

[@afcsabin]

He probably bought the shirt with the artwork from them or something , then someone told him thats and Anciient t-shirt

[@Siarawaszympanemjest]

Holly fuck, I can hear Solitude Aeturnus, Isole and Black Sabbath with some melodeath in between. Take my money, sir.

[@UponThisAltar]

WHEN THE FUCK DID THEY SIGN TO SEASON OF MIST?!?! This is just too good to be true.

[@marchandersons]

Three years ago.

[@UponThisAltar]

+François Marchand Awesome. I wasn't aware since I haven't seen them live since just after their first release.

[@AfroMan5900]

I saw them opening for Scale the Summit a while back. Immediately went to the merch table and bought Heart of Oak. So stoked for this.

[@marchandersons]

Right on. Prepare to get your minds blown.

[@anyeliestephany5224]

Perfection.

[@SecretEyeSpot]

irish riffs.. I love them..

[@creamcheese65]

This rocks hard.

[@TavesMusic]

[@isaiahfitzgerald2183]

[@guitarWoob]

BRUTAL AF

[@fattony638]

[@joey1324]

Jasta sent me here after hearing this band on the podcast

[@siyah-siyah]

Güzel...

[@Karlwojo1]

fucking......wow.....\m. >_< \m/

[@sameersharma5966]

Sounds like Mastodon! Only in a positive way though!

[@p.staycalm]

This Bit rate makes me sad.

[@tamasf]

But it sounds like the album won't :D

[@p.staycalm]

Very true :)

[@Zyborggian]

Dude it's fucking youtube how do you not go into it expecting absolute balls bit depth?

[@chronic_johnson_a.r.a.b]

Opeth meets Rishloo?

[@Neonmirrorblack]

More like Opeth x Mastodon with an extremely small nod to Tool.

[@chronic_johnson_a.r.a.b]

Neonmirrorblack that's kind of what I mean by Rishloo. It's some of the wankier prog that Mastodon has done, fused with Tool. Although I think Anciients sounds way more wanky than Mastodon.

[@Neonmirrorblack]

Dunno. I hear a whole lot of Leviathan and Crack the Skye (which was already Mastodon channeling Opeth) with growls that are *almost* as good as Akerfeldt in his prime. Plus the entire light/dark stylings that Opeth practically invented that many bands aped, but few did well. I only have the last two Rishloo albums, so maybe I don't have enough exposure to them or something, but I never really thought of them at all. The Tool influence is mostly the basslines in a few songs and some of the guitar riffs/distortion (especially Ibex Eye). Get this album if you don't have it yet. Easily one of the best of 2016.

[@Burton1966]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
