TESTIMONIALS:

The title of the debut album of Ancesttral is The Famous Unknown, but the work that the group has shown that fast will cause them to become 'Distinguished Known'.You can be sure!
Ricardo Batalha - Roadie Crew Magazine

Some believe that thrash metal is dead and that the 'bid' is now more alternative, indie... Well, is not what they think of the Ancesttral's members. The theme developed in "The Famous Unknown" revolves around negative feelings and inevitable - and politically incorrect, of course. Sometimes so bleak, some fairly aggressive, the Ancesttral vai dissecting the labyrinths of the mind and discovering the demons within the human being.

Ancesttral has everything a thrash metal band needs: Weight, speed, aggressiveness, technique and very good lyrics, is a band with international potential.

Ancesttral was already showing its power to fire with the EP Helleluiah (05), whose compositions were three matadors. Now is the time of his debut, The Famous Unknown, with one of the most beautiful covers of the year and a full plate for any headbanger who enjoy Thrash Metal watered the more traditional elements of metal, in line with what was done at the end of the decade of 80 and beginning of the 90th The Famous Unknown is more an emphasis in terms of national bands in this promising year 2007. As I write this that I will be pressing the play back of my stereo system, which is practically on fire and asking for help.

With his debut album of the Paulistanos Ancesttral the show that nobody else needs to live the past. Indeed the comparison with the great Metallica is necessary, but not think that is a mere copy. The band can create your own style, an excellent style by the way, and puts all his grab this great album to debut.
