Anciients<\/a><\/strong> is back after six years with a new record Beyond The Reach Of The Sun<\/em> due out August 30, and a second new single “In The Absence Of Wisdom ” streaming right now. It’s all killer prog and no filler, as you’d expect from Anciients<\/a><\/strong> at this point.<\/p>\n “Basically, right before Voice of the Void<\/em> was recorded, my wife had our first kid,” said guitarist and vocalist Kenny Cook<\/strong> of the delay between albums.<\/p>\n “She ended up having heart complications and almost passed away from it. We recorded the last record and once it came out, I was kind of just focusing on her, dealing with her health issues and keeping that in check. I wasn’t at the stage where I could be gone for half a year, especially with a new kid. Long story short, she’s happy and healthy now, but dealing with family issues was the main priority. It was a bit of a road.”<\/p>\n On top of that came the departure of guitarist, co-vocalist, and co-founding member Chris Dyck<\/strong> in January of 2017. Now with the line up of Cook<\/strong>, drummer Mike Hannay<\/strong>, Brock MacInnes<\/strong> (Dyck<\/strong>‘s replacement) and new bassist Rory O’Brien<\/strong>, Anciients<\/a><\/strong> is back and as powerful as ever.<\/p>\n Pre-orders for Beyond The Reach Of The Sun<\/em> are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n
