Following in the footsteps of bands like Neurosis and Wolves in the Throne Room, Die in the Light have pushed the boundaries of their blackened hardcode into the expansive arena of sound manipulation. 

Evolutionary Ideation is a sonic experience that hints at narrative - an aesthetic voice that says nothing determinate and yet gives nods to the storytelling giants that have been capable of saying volumes with simplicity.

"Very few debut records have this clearness of vision and a sound this thick and relentless." -- Decibel Magazine

Combining the crushing heaviness of sludge, the melancholic harmonies of funeral doom, with the atmosphere and intensity of black metal, QAALM manifests a gloomy, depressive, and unique interpretation of the doom metal genre.

For fans of: Neurosis, Corrupted, Asunder, Mournful Congregation, Katatonia, Anathema, My Dying Bride.

Ancress’ debut LP “Victoria/Jeiunium” ("Conquest"/"Famine") is the first two parts of an "Apocalypse Quadrilogy", based upon, and inspired by, selected works from distinguished Polish surrealist-nightmare painter Zdzisław Beksiński.

Drawing influence from early 90s hardcore bands Deadguy and Starkweather, grind reminiscent of Nasum or early Pig Destroyer, and a healthy dose of cinematic noise, Ancress have created a unique aural assault.

For fans of: Burnt by the Sun, Old Man Gloom, and Graf Orlock.
