ah lol, aren't you on Bandcamp as well? I saw your old school DB profile pic recently under the Fleshgod Apocalypse - Veleno supporters (also bought it haha).
Welcome to all new Anciients fans! I highly recommend all their songs, especially the record before this one was already pretty much perfect, with the mixing and recording quality refined even further in this latest release. This record is truly amazing, can't believe how tight these songs are written. Pure anciients sauce, the bass is mixed so well, the harmonies in the vocals are pure bliss and my prayers have been heard, there is basically an "endless" instrumental on here as well as FRIGGEN ORGAN! Oh my gawd, never have I thought that you would so easily nail the third record in a row with not even a single thing out of place. Me and my mates have been adoring your music for years, meeting up tapping some magic cards while listening to the immersive soundscapes of your music, passing a joint and grooving away!
I liked them from the previous album..... trust me bro... you better thank your lucky stars you didn't have to suffer that GRUELING several year wait for this
Thank you RUclips algorithms! I was drawn in by the artwork but stayed for the music! Huge fan of Opeth & Baroness and their mix of melodic, melancholy & brutality with clean & growled vox - and this album does all that magnificently! Brilliant stuff 🤘
You put it better than I would've... but how did it take the algorithm a week to serve this up? Canadian metal, with this album art and track list? "Celestial Tyrant" alone shoulda got the job done.
🇺🇦🤘🇺🇦🤘🇺🇦🤘 Повернення Anciients з оновленим складом дало змогу гурту не тільки зберегти свою унікальність, а й додати до своєї музики свіжі елементи, що роблять їхнє звучання більш багатогранним і експресивним. Це одне з найсміливіших і найглибших творінь гурту. Складна музична структура і концептуальна насиченість цього релізу перетворюють його на яскравий приклад того, як можна поєднати емоційну силу і технічну майстерність. Beyond the Reach of the Sun виходить за рамки типового прогресивного металу, поєднуючи елементи фолку, блюзу і психоделіки з великоваговими рифами і атмосферними мелодіями. Цей альбом демонструє здатність Anciients не боятися експериментів, відкриваючи нові музичні простори і черпаючи натхнення в найнесподіваніших місцях. Концептуально альбом такий самий важкий. Він розповідає історію суспільства, яке поневолене силами з іншого виміру. Але за своєю суттю "Beyond the Reach of the Sun" - про наполегливість. Подібно до того, як поневолені відкривають для себе духовні знання за допомогою космічної сутності, написання цих пісень також привело гурт до відкриття нових джерел натхнення. У своєму новому альбомі Anciients не тільки підтверджують свій статус дороговказної зірки прогресивного металу, а й піднімаються на нову вершину творчості. 🤘👍
I'm so glad youtube suggested this masterpiece to me. Just listened to it once and immediately had to buy it. Have been listening to it nonstop ever since 🤩
I was pleasantly surprised the other day when I discovered this new release from a band I was hugely into a few years ago. Awesome album from atart to finish.
I'm just getting to know this album, but I really like what I've heard so far. The Opeth and Mastodon comparison is spot on. I keep wanting to come back, which is a great
Their first two albums, Heart Of Oak and Voice Of The Void, are also excellent although I think this new album surpasses both. Nonetheless, check out the previous two records as well. They're an excellent band who doesn't get the attention they deserve.
As an old school (80s era) "Thrash" metal enthusiast, to this day. I put this album on simply by curiosity, and I wasn't expecting much tbh. I must confess, I vastly underestimated Ancients. The eclectic patterns are orchestrated incredibly well. This is up there with BtBaM, I am blown away by this metal masterpiece 🐉
22:12 the drumming on Melt the Crown is melting my head. Sounds like Danny Carey playing something super sophisticated without trying to sound flashy. This album is a furnace wrapped in a thermal blanket! 🔥
I’m absolutely blown away by this masterpiece of melodic and progressive death metal. I hear all of the influences (Opeth/Mastodon/AIC) everyone has mentioned and it is coming from every direction.
@@raven2craft RIGHT!? I just thought of that yesterday when listening to their older albums. Their is very subtle mid-to-later-era Enslaved in their sound at times, albums like 'In Times' or 'RIITIIR,' specifically.
@@MNmarrowYes, definitely hearing mid to late Enslaved influences coming through. Glad that this was brought up because Enslaved deserves an ode. Like Opeth, Enslaved has stood the test of time.
Oh hell yeah this shit is like dream theater's rebel cousin met mastodon's kid and had a kid with that kid and than that kid had a kid with opeth's bastard second cousin once removed that once had a crush on Emerson Lake and Palmer's keyboard player while they were dating Alice in chains than became a Yes fan! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!
Started to listen: This is ok Ended up listening to the whole album I'm not really that into prog metal, but this really captured me Favorites: Is This Your God, Celestial Tyrant, The Torch, Candescence
🇺🇦🤘🇺🇦🤘🇺🇦🤘 The return of Anciients with a renewed lineup has allowed the band to not only retain their uniqueness, but to add fresh elements to their music that make their sound more multifaceted and expressive. This is one of the band's most daring and profound creations. The complex musical structure and conceptual richness of this release make it a shining example of how emotional power and technical mastery can be combined. Beyond the Reach of the Sun goes beyond typical progressive metal, combining elements of folk, blues and psychedelic with heavy riffs and atmospheric melodies. This album demonstrates Anciients' ability to not be afraid of experimentation, opening new musical spaces and drawing inspiration from the most unexpected places. Conceptually, the album is just as heavy. It tells the story of a society that is enslaved by forces from another dimension. But at its core, Beyond the Reach of the Sun is about perseverance. Just as the enslaved discover spiritual knowledge with the help of a cosmic entity, writing these songs has also led the band to discover new sources of inspiration. In their new album, Anciients not only reaffirm their status as a guiding star of progressive metal, but also rise to a new pinnacle of creativity. 🤘👍
Albums like this are why I love the RUclips recommendations.
they're actually half the reason why I haven't left RUclips. The other half is documentaries and other various forms of educational videos.
ah lol, aren't you on Bandcamp as well? I saw your old school DB profile pic recently under the Fleshgod Apocalypse - Veleno supporters (also bought it haha).
That cover is absolutely astonishing.
Calm down
Same artist did the cover for the Abyss album by Unleash the Archers. Very similar and both are very cool.
Art by: AdamBurke @nightjarillustration you are welcome
My first time hearing this band, I am impressed.
Heart of Oak is so, so good, have a listen
@@moira4707 Thanks for the recommendation, these dudes are legit!
Voice of the Void is also amazing. So far, I haven't heard one bad or skippable song in their entire catalogue! @@moira4707
Listen their first two albums too
Go listen to Voice of the Void immediately. 😂
Wow! RUclips algorithm struck gold this evening!
That's some killer album art, and the music didn't disappoint
The factory must grow Dosh, the factory must grow…
Jokes aside I respect your taste in music.
👀👀👀Well hello there

The cover looks inspired by some Magic the Gathering cards, particularly the card Soulherder.
Love this band, some great Canadian metal
The whole album is brilliant. I especially love "Cloak of the vast and black". And just two weeks ago I had never even heard of Anciients.
I liked them from the previous album..... trust me bro... you better thank your lucky stars you didn't have to suffer that GRUELING several year wait for this
definitely one of my favorite albums this year!!!

I just discovered this band today. What perfect timing!🤘
Their back catalog is fantastic, too.
I've been waiting YEARS for news on new Anciients and this shit just drops out of nowhere and I'm 3 weeks late!? Happy surprise! Amazing album!
dude SAME!
Loving this album. Great listen from a great band👍
Clicked on it for the album cover, stayed for the awesome music. great job guys!
in my top 10 this year so far, didn't know them before. This music is exactly what I have expected from the the name & artwork.
That album cover and music is fire!🔥❤. Love this vibe, love the feel. This one is going into the collection. 🤘😎
That album cover is a real masterpiece, its this and pantheum by first fragment that are my favourite album covers of all time
This album reminds me of reasons why I fell in love with bands like Opeth. Well done.
Awesome album!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🖤🖤🖤🖤
Excellent album!
Mastodon meats Opeth with a tinge of Gojira and more... Beautiful work!

This is the proper use of great influences. This is one of those rare albums that will go down in my top tier of albums.
A really stunning album.. one of my new faves for sure! \m/
Svärta ved spisen till detta fantastico band ❤!
I'm so glad youtube suggested this masterpiece to me. Just listened to it once and immediately had to buy it. Have been listening to it nonstop ever since 🤩
After listening to this album many times I have come to the conclusion this is the aoty
I'm thinking this is my album of the year! Straight up Blackwater Park vibes!
You guys killed it, album is a head bobber from start to finish. Respect. Transition into Despoiled soothes the soul.
Everything in this album is just pure gold. 10/10
I love this so much
Great album. For me so far album of the year!

The solo in Celestial Tyrant goes so hard, this is incredible
Merci pour cet excellent album!!
What a power-wauw album!
Opeth and Mastodon must be very flattered that their influences are used in this way. Amazing album after eight years of waiting.
Getting a touch of baroness and elder aswell
@@rianvorster430major Baroness vibes🤘
I thought i was the only one who noticed the mastodon influence!
Haha. All of your replies and descriptions are spot on. The love child of Opeth, Mastodon, Baroness and Fates Warning was wanking off in the corner.
@@EgirlSlayer Nope, but you are correct.
just perfect. i m glad canadian bands are more than before. i lived in 5 years in canada. greetings from turkiye...
Awesome album! Looking forward to seeing you live!
Amazing stuff!

clicked solely because of the cover art. Banger album
22:12 the drumming on Melt the Crown is melting my head. Sounds like Danny Carey playing something super sophisticated without trying to sound flashy. This album is a furnace wrapped in a thermal blanket! 🔥
Such an on point comment!
sounds amazing, CD direct ordered !!!
Seen them tour their last album in Toronto back in 2017. Great to see them back. Glad they took their time.
That was a great show. Dead Quiet who were supporting that night also dropped an album a couple months ago, definitely worth checking out.
@@xRawPowerYeah Dead Quiet was good as well. I will check out their new stuff. Didn't know they released.
Diggin' this album and band! \m/
So glad to finally have some more ANCIIENTERIES to bite into!
I’m absolutely blown away by this masterpiece of melodic and progressive death metal. I hear all of the influences (Opeth/Mastodon/AIC) everyone has mentioned and it is coming from every direction.
and Enslaved waves too

Great job....👍🤘
Nice clean, round bass tone 👌🏻
I love Candescence, the dreemy guitars are amazing.
Perfect album, simple as that
Wow. Very, very nice.
