A complete list of tour dates, including all the newly announced shows can be found below.
ANCIIENTS are touring in support of their debut album, ‘Heart of Oak’. The critically-acclaimed record is streaming here, and available now across several formats. The band was recently showcased as the featured artist in the latest installment of “Converse x Decibel”. A mini@documentary about how the vast woodlands and epic mountain ranges of British Columbia influence the band’s elaborate and progressive songs is streaming here.
“At its best, Heart of Oak is immediate and electrifying, an album that suggests Anciients’ half-prog, half-pop metal is bound for big stages.” – Pitchfork
“Anciients harness the power of prog for a greater good, making music you might actually remember. Scratch that — will remember. These guys are gonna be big.” – Stereogum
“The band are nothing if not highly ambitious, as the wide range of sounds demonstrates, Anciients shifting from stoner rock to blasting death-lite to tricky, tech-y prog like no one’s business.” – Exclaim
“Heart Of Oak is an impressive many-sided record that will please a diversified group of music fans. Devotees of all things metal and rock will find something that Anciients does to love.” – Stereokiller
