Somewhere between sheer, apocalyptic heaviness and precise riffing, lays otherworldly Anciients—a Vancouver-based rock juggernaut forging crushing heavy metal evocative of veterans High on Fire and contemporary sonic craftsmen, Opeth. Anciients have combined fuck-off-huge chords with mind-altering riffage that takes you on an unfamiliar trip. Their debut album "Heart of Oak" (available as a download via bandcamp) reeks of colossal harmonies, shattering rhythm sections and distinct, powerful vocals.
