Canadian prog metallers Anciients have just issued a newly re-recorded version of their early track “Humanist“. That song first emerged from the band back in 2011 as the opening half of their debut EP, “Snakebeard“. The group’s current lineup went back to revisit that track for this recording, welcoming back former guitarist/vocalist Chris Dyck for a guest spot on the song.
The group’s vocalist/guitarist Kenny Cook stated of this take:
“‘Humanist‘ was the first song we recorded as a band. After hearing the sonic improvements that came with re-recording ‘Built To Die’ last year, we wanted to give ‘Humanist’ the same treatment”. The song represents a wild dream. Musically, ‘Humanist’ is one of our heaviest, though we chuck a little bit of everything into the composition.”
