Mastoolopeth!! Anciients is definitely a band to keep an eye on in the future. A lot of potential here.

More straightforward and a bit less interesting than the first album but great nontheless.

This certainly fondles my prog-metal and Opeth-praising ballsack.

Pure modern, very technical, progressive metal. Everything is clean and shiny with great amount of
heaviness. The versatility on the vocals (whether with "no cheese" melodic, or different high and
low pitch growls) is amazing. Stylistically they also go all-round death, melodeath, prog, bm you
name it...The only setback on this the is the casual excess of "wanking" without exactly being
"outside of the box" (genre issue), but they sure grab you whenever you start thinking that. Fave:
Pentacle (brutal "toolesque" track)

A rock solid compilation of metal. I hate that they eased up on the stoner influences, but they picked up the slack elsewhere. Great record.

Voice of the Void is a very good album that draws influence from many great progressive metal bands. While it isn't aso string as much of Opeth's work, it still shows Anciients talents when it comes to both writing and playing songs. Hopefully these guys continue forging ahead because theyes have a chance to be something special.

I agree with the Mastoolopeth comparisons, but these guys have yet to write anything as engaging as their influences have. That said, they have huge potential. I can't wait to see what they do next.

There’s no reason to pretend anymore, the classic Opeth that we grew up with is gone. It’s time to find other bands that can do something similar — Anciients is one of those bands. Anciients takes the the best parts of My Arms, Your Hearse and Still Life and mixes it with the gritty modern prog of Crack the Skye-era Mastodon. The end result is the kind of classy progressive death metal Opeth used to deliver with ease, but without the pointless repetition, padded song lengths, and extended sparse acoustic sessions. Instead, they have added the energetic, gritty, modern prog of Mastodon into their musical equation and come out better for it. Despite the extended song lengths, none of the songs feel like they’re long just for the sake of being long (my main complaint with Opeth). The vocals are also very versatile, alternating between powerful death growls and clean singing. If you miss Opeth, try this release.
