Lyrics:
Hides in the mountains
kills all he sees
Blinded by fortunes
spreading disease
Bring the sacred souls to life
Rising from a tomb bright
Merciless horsemen
abuse the crown
Spirits awakening to cast you out
Where the vagrants go to die
Perish under moonlight.
Feel the weight of the world
Losing sight of the sun
We must capture the king
Become a regicide
Breeding seasons of anguish
Terrors bludgeon the conscience
Through the knowledge of sin
We will melt the crown
Burn the king alive
Hang him from a spire
For the gods to see

Great song. So good to have these guys back, after 8 long years!

[@davidames1746]

After 8 years this is what they have on offer?

[@darrenottaway8270]

At long last the wait is over! All hail Anciients and their new killer single…thank you!

[@daboosreviews8819]

Melt the Crown? More like “Melt Your Face”. DAMMMMN!! Killer track. So much depth and strength to it. Kenny’s voice sounds so good. Songcraft is exceptional. Cannot wait for the rest of the record. You guys knocked it out of the park.

[@markdelange3638]

First time hearing these guys. I like. Strong Opeth vibes.

[@Neonmirrorblack]

You really need to check out their previous two albums if you haven't, especially the second. Check out "Ibex Eye" as your first song.

[@andritti]

If you love Mastodon, Opeth... You can´t go wrong with Anciients!!!

[@steveng6721]

Alice in chains? Tf? Lmao

[@ignaciogonzalezrodriguez1187]

I want to see this band Rocking the hell out of big stages with this new album! Been a Fan since Heart of Oak and it just keeps getting better and better within each release! Hail Anciients🤘

[@METALFREAK03]

The cover art by Adam Burke absolutely captures the sound and journey these masters of experimental and prog rock/metal bring! Cannot wait for the new album to drop \m/

[@jberthelon]

It's so cool.

[@Rafooky92]

First time hearing this band. Proggy-sludgy-death metal. Reminds me of Mastodon. Pretty good!!

[@seanselby8572]

Highly recommend listening to their previous two albums. They are awesome.

[@gianmarcobaudazzi9961]

Mastodon + Old Opeth

[@scottchrismon4492]

As the other commenter said Mastodon and Opeth. I made that statement after hearing their first album. Makes me smile.

[@MuddyRavine]

Check out Dvne too! New album is another killer!

[@Neonmirrorblack]

They're a mix of Mastodon/Baroness and Opeth. Go listen to their previous two albums. Now!

[@CunningGoblin]

Album of the year.

[@christianmele9413]

Wow, they are back! That's nice to hear. Great song btw

[@davidames1746]

Mindblowing, I see...

[@bencolon71]

Incredible band. Blending rock and metal and groovy ass melodies. 😎

[@MarkCoffin]

Damn! Can't wait. The drum beat when the vocals kick in is sick!

[@trowabarton222]

So glad to see these guys back! This is now one of my most anticipated albums of the year!

[@cemetarygates82]

I am so stoked about this! I was very bummed when I discovered these guys, really dug their music, and then realized they only had two albums.

[@redinthesky1]

[@Pirates_of_the_Underground_I]

WELCOME BACK! It has been too long . . . but the wait was well worth it :) Looking forward to the album guys. \m/

[@npnstudios9243]

awesome

[@Neonmirrorblack]

The cleans have greatly improved, and they remind me more of modern Alice in Chains. Also, this track heavily reminds me of something from New Keepers of the Water Towers' Cosmic Child.

[@Josaphar]

Hell yeeess!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@papaflow3116]

Really great song. Also that artwork is delightful

[@MMAYUKON]

Jarvistan forever.

[@rimegrapple2422]

Ass a Finn I can feel some kind of weird connection to all Anciients music. I feel that we're both from a cold dark and beautiful north.

[@rimegrapple2422]

Sorry I meant as a finn😂

[@emmanuelp4169]

Great song so happy to hear new material 🤘

[@meiko_kaji]

August? No. NOW.

[@caiocarvalho8806]

I thought this was an AI band 😮

[@andremorr]

Oh yes! Opeth for poor people. And you know what? I am pretty poor

[@NightOwlparallax]

but the real Opeth is not too expensive

[@nintenjoel]

@@NightOwlparallax *too

[@METALFREAK03]

And opeth is just poor Mekong Delta, which is just a poorman's Metallica (80's) which is just a poor man's Deep Purple, which is just a poor man's Yes, which is just a poor man's Rolling Stones, which is just a poor man's Duke's Big Band which is just a poor man's Varg. How far you wanna go back man?

[@mr.niceguy4056]

@@METALFREAK03 I like your comment. I often think the same about bands that sound like other bands. The other day I was listening to The Anchoret and a friend said it was an Opeth rip off, which is true, but I love the album anyway. I told my friend that Opeth (mikael akerfeldt) freely admits stealing from Camel. As long as it's good I don't care at all.
