Vancouver, BC metal titans Anciients have returned with a new recording “Raise the Sun” with their new second guitar player Brock MacInnes and bassist Rory O’Brien. “Raise the Sun” originally featured on their debut album “Heart of Oak” in 2013. The band is making progress towards their new album, due for release later in 2024 via Season of Mist. Jam the new version of “Raise the Sun” now! 

“Since winning a coveted JUNO for their last album in 2018, Anciients have been whittling away at their follow-up. That album is done now and will be released later this year. But before the hard-rocking Canucks come down from the mountain with a new set of genre-breaking commandments for the psychedelic masses, they’re flexing their new lineup with a re-recorded version of a proven fan favorite.

“With the 10th anniversary of ‘Heart of Oak’ happening while we were recording our new record, we decided to re-record a couple songs with our current lineup”, says Cook. “It was a trip down memory lane working on this song, a decade later, with producer Jesse Gander at the helm again. We hope you enjoy the sound of this new version of ‘Raise the Sun’.””
