If there is one Vancouver metal band that has steadily been building a buzz over the past year, it’s Ancients.
The epic/thrash-infused metal quartet — guitarist/vocalist Kenny Cook (who also lends a hand with retro-stoners Black Wizard), guitarist/vocalist Chris Dyck, bassist Aaron “Boon” Gustafson and drummer Mike Hannay — has been spotted mid-bill at many of the city’s metal shows last year, but it shouldn’t take long before they creep to the top.
Ancients are devastating: A thunderous, crushing force with a solid melodic backbone. The band recently revealed it was headed into the studio to work on its debut with Jesse Gander at the Hive. One can expect 2012 has plenty of good things in store for these guys.
