This is a sampler featuring a bunch of indie bands,
featuring the track "Onward" from Legacy Of Emptiness.

 

February 21st:
We are well into the recording of the follow-up to our debut album "Nightmare Diaries". Most guitar tracks are done, and later the rest; drums, bass, keyboards and vocals, will follow. We plan to finish the recording some time in May, and use Spring to find a label to release the album after the Summer. We also will try to get a few gigs in Norway this Fall, and maybe/hopefully head for a new visit to Europe early next year.

Meanwhile you can download the massive 60 track compilation "
World Of Glass compilation", compiled by Alexis Croze and Raquel Senra. 60 tracks by female fronted metal bands in all kinds of genres, among them you'll find a re-recorded version of "Out Of The Dark And Into The Night", which originally appeared on "Nightmare Diaries". This new version also includes a nice shredding solo by our stand in guitarist from our trip to Holland last Autumn; Hans Christian "HC" Hagen. So what are you waiting for? Go to World Of Glass to download the compilation now, it's completely free!




December 20th:
Ok, we now have 11 or 12 songs more or less finished, we just need a band meeting to agree upon the last details, then it's time for recording. We will probably have 50 - 60 minutes of music on the album, meaning 9 - 10 songs, thus have a couple of tracks to discard to make sure we end up with nothing but DAMN AMAZING SONGS. Sounds good? The goal is to have the album out in late Summer/early Autumn 2012.
 
We also want to wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR! 
 

October 1st:
Barely two weeks left until we hit the road and aim for Germany and Holland! And we got news for you, most are good, but also one bad one. Guitarist Tor Arvid Larsen has been prevented from joining us on the tour, but instead of cancelling it, we have been graced by the talent of Hans Christian "HC" Hagen, and even if he has a conciderable amount of songs to learn in a very short time we are confident that he will do a great job! Also we have some surprises for you if you show up at one of the gigs, either in Berlin (Musichall), Roermond (Azijnfabriek) or Amsterdam (The Cave); what it is will remain a secret until you are there, but what we can say is that EVERYONE will get a small treat made just for this little tour. Also you will have the chance to do a decision for us, and if that wasn't enough we MIGHT hand out a few free gifts if we're in a good mood! So what do you say, see you soon?


September 14th:
A long time in silence, but finally some news. We will head for the European motorways once again; in mid-October we will, together with the Venezuelan goth metal band Bleeding Tears, play three gigs in Germany and Holland. These are:
October 14th - Musichall, Berlin, Germany
October 15th - Azijnfabriek, Roermond, Holland
October 16th - The Cave, Amsterdam, Holland
More info will follow!

You can also check out a couple of the songs on Myspace or Facebook. You can of course also order from Ketzer records in Germany.

 
May 29th:

So it is time for a long awaited and needed update.

First and most important; change in line-up. Our bassist since 2003, Anton Dead, moved to Oslo, 250 km's away from the rest of the band, almost two years ago, and since then it's been difficult to keep the desired rehearsal schedule, so now, before we for real start work on the songs for our next album, we needed to improve the situation the band had been stuck in, as it became impossible to continue this way. The replacement is already on board and is an old friend of us. His name is Jarl Ivar Brynhildsvoll, so we are already a fully operational live band again. We welcome him in the band and hope you will too!

Speaking of that, our first live appearance in nearly a year is also something of the past. Only two songs performed, but one of them, the brand new track "There Is No Birth And Death", can be viewed on our Youtube channel!

Also we are in the early stages of planning a European tour this Autumn, which hopefully will take us to Denmark, Germany, Holland, Belgium and France. If all goes well we'll share the majority of the gigs with Bleeding Tears, a gothic symphonic metal band from Venezuela.

An upgrade to our band logo has also been done, thanks to Jørn Melnes at www.tegneoppdrag.no

That should be all for now, exciting times are ahead for Ancestral Legacy, hope you will join us!

January 29th:
We've uploaded an acoustic version of (1/3 of the song) "Perhaps In Death" from our "Nightmare Diaries" album to out Youtube channel, so go and check it out! Also a new review is published, on the French music blog Musical Ambrosia, so obviously it's in French. Enjoy"
