Finnish drug mysticists and eldritch worshippers Jess and the Ancient Ones have made a name for themselves among metalheads due to a mixture of connections to Demilich through now ex-guitarist Antti Boman but more substantial is their suggestively moody sound and trippy occult lyricism that fans of both The Devil's Blood and In Solitude alike would enjoy. 2012 saw them debut with their hard rockin' and at times almost traditional heavy metal esque self-titled debut but two EP's and one 2015 follow-up later and they had become a much more eclectic band with lavish floating harmonies echoing like distant prayers amidst a wash of swelling keyboards and titular singer Jess' wild, husky midrange. It was an award winning approach and they've kept the basic gist of it two years later with the oddly named The Horse and Other Weird Tales though I would be a far cry to say this is the exact same band. Death Is the Doors, Shining, Your Exploding Heads, You and Eyes, Radio Aquarius, Return to Hallucinate, (Here Comes) the Rainbow Mouth, Minotaure, Anyway the Minds Flow
