Ancient Domains is a new band formed by some familiar faces from the New York hardcore scene. The band features vocalist Matt Warnke (BOLD), guitarist Jon Biviano (Supertouch), drummer Rich Edsell (Supertouch), and bassist Jim Boehmer (High Speed Chase). The band is self-described as the "Spiritual Successors" to NYHC pioneers Supertouch.
"Set In Stone" is the 7-song debut release from Ancient Domains. The songs hit some of the typical themes: frustration, anger, and perseverance. Supertouch fans can expect a return to their blending of post and melodic hardcore. The music is well crafted with quality mixing, and the vocals were produced by Chaka Malik (Burn, Orange 9mm). Some stand-out tracks from the album are, “As Far As I'm Concerned”, “Confession” and "Lately".
The band’s debut is currently available on Bandcamp. For the vinyl enthusiasts, "Set In Stone" is available for pre-order thru Devarishi Records in two color variants: orange w/black splatter and yellow w/black splatter.
Overall, "Set In Stone" could be a nostalgic trip down memory lane for some, but it’s a promising debut. With a pedigree steeped in hardcore history, Ancient Domains is a band well worth checking out.
