Ancient Settlers has released a video for “Wounded Heart“, first single taken from the new album “Oblivion’s Legacy” to be released on May 17th by Scarlet Records.
“Wounded Heart” evokes a visceral journey through the tumultuous currents of existence, where time’s relentless march leaves shattered dreams and non-stop haste in its wake. A song to remember that each scar becomes a badge of resilience amidst the ashes of adversity, as the wounded heart remains steadfast in the face of hopelessness and isolation, enduring the toll that time exacts on soul.
Produced, mixed and mastered by Fredrick Nordstrom at Studio Fredman;
illustrated by Jon Toussas (Suicidal Angels, Nightrage, W.E.B.);
FFO: Arch Enemy, Jinjer, Soilwork, Darkane, Shadows Fall, The Agonist, Light This City
“Oblivion’s Legacy” will be released in the following formats:
– jewel case CD
– vinyl LP
– digital
Ancient Settlers quickly gained a fierce reputation in the melodic death metal European scene thanks to a relentless live activity, and are now eager to raise the bar with their second studio album.
Guided by the demoniac vocals of frontwoman Argen Death, the Venezuelan/Spanish band masters the melodeath subject with absolute confidence through storming heavy riffs, thick grooves and catchy hooks (just like the Swedish godfathers taught us all).
“Oblivion’s Legacy” is a conceptual work that delves into the profound depths of human existence, exploring the legacy we leave behind as individuals and as a species. The lyrics contemplate the impact of our actions, the struggles we face, and the ultimate fate that awaits us all.
Set against a backdrop of cosmic wonder and existential introspection, each song serves as a chapter in the unfolding narrative of humanity’s journey through time and space.
