Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Heart of Oak, the stunning Season of Mist debut full-length from Anciients, was one 2013's most anticipated albums for a reason. The acutely modern, progressive quartet crafted songs as nuanced and expressive as the range of human emotion here, without eschewing their hard rock/heavy metal roots. Unforgettable tracks such as "Raise the Sun," "Falling in Line," "The Longest River" and "Faith & Oath" hit hard and resonate deeply. With Heart of Oak as their calling card, Anciients exude class and the confidence of a band beyond their years. Recommended for fans of Mastodon, Kylesa, Baroness, Queens of the Stone Age, Witchcraft and Electric Wizard.
