The Season of Mist debut from Vancouver metal act Anciients, titled Heart of Oak, is one that is going to get a lot of people talking. Yes, it's extreme metal, and it's certainly progressive, but then again Heart of Oak is so much more, as the band also incorporate plenty of classic metal influences as well. With the mighty Opeth seemingly moving forward into proggier territory, the metal world has been waiting for another band to set the progressive extreme metal world on fire, and Anciients just might be that band.
