Presenting a new line-up with the inclusion of the female metal singer Argen Death (Vile-Hex) on voice and Agustin Martinez on the guitar, ANCIENT SETTLERS completed their current line-up with Rex Chiesa (Guitar), Herman Riera (Drums) and Miguel Herrera (Bass).
But, what about Transition? In this opportunity the band arrives in 2023 with their most powerful set of songs since their debut, combining and energetic and intense Technical Melodic Death Metal, with a plenty of modern guitar solos, synths, clean and guttural voices working together, also supported by Gregorian chants in songs like “Mihi Nomen Est Ira”.
A long list of awesome collaborations supporting previous work of Ancient Settlers (Fredrik Nordstrom, Daniel Cardoso, Gus Sazes, etc) talks about the ambition of the band, and they follow the line in this new step of the settlers saga. Mixed and master by Pedro J Monge at Chomaticity Studios (Rise To Fall, Vhaldemar, Etc), acompained by an awesome art-cover designed by the greek ilustrator Jon Toussas (Metal Hammer, Suicidal Angels, Septic-Flesh), the release adds fresh stuff to their discography.
Moreover they have interesting voice collaborations in 3 of the fourth songs of the Ep: like Dalay Tarda (Rise To Fall), Pintxo Wayewta (Empire of Disease) and Andres Pestana (The Black Tree).
The first single “Mihi Nomen Est Ira” will be released on February 7th and the album will be released in May via Crusader Records/Golden Robot Records, in digital format, and also a limited physical special edition in Cd & Vinyl and will be supported by their 3rd European Tour.
