Our Take
Our Take
In a musical landscape oversaturated with generic riffs and recycled melodies, ANCIENT ASCENDANT have managed to carve out a niche all their own with their latest offering, "Raise The Torch." This album is a fiery concoction of death metal and thrash, with a healthy dose of black metal influences thrown in for good measure. The band's intricate guitar work and relentless drumming are a sonic assault on the senses, leaving listeners both exhausted and exhilarated by the end of each track.
What sets ANCIENT ASCENDANT apart from their peers is their willingness to take risks and push the boundaries of their genre. Tracks like "Torchbearer" and "Iniquitous Judgement" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend blistering speed with haunting melodies, creating a cacophony of sound that is as exhilarating as it is challenging.
But it's not all chaos and mayhem on "Raise The Torch." The album also features moments of introspection and introspection, such as the haunting instrumental track "The Ritual." Here, the band shows a different side to their musicality, proving that they are capable of more than just headbanging aggression.
Overall, ANCIENT ASCENDANT have delivered a truly unique and exhilarating listening experience with "Raise The Torch." This album is a testament to the band's talent and creativity, and a must-listen for any fan of extreme metal. So, grab your torch and prepare to be ignited by the sonic inferno that is ANCIENT ASCENDANT.
