Ancient Ascendant

Formed in 2005, based in Reading, South England.
Formerly known as Heretic.
Ancient Ascendant play a new breed of death metal. Combining old school sensibilities with melody and hooks which are often lacking in this brutal genre, they take influences from older metal bands such as Death, Pantera and Carcass, and fuse them with the modern sounds of bands like Opeth and Decapitated.
