Ancestral was born in January'1999 in Castelvetrano-Selinunte (TP), a small Town from the extreme south of Italy, thanks to Olivo brothers and Mendolia twins, with the intention to form a band with an Aggressive and Melodic sound. At the beginning the Line up consisted the use of the keyboards, but with the entry of the guitarist Leonardo Fasitta, in February '1999, the band changed the order of the line up, with the exclusion of the keyboards, to plant on a more strong sound. After many concerts, Ancestral enter, in januray'2000, at the Riff Raff studios in Marsala (TP) to recording their first demo CD colled ”TRAVEL IN A FORGOTTEN TIME” that received a large success in Italy and aboard, especially in Japan and Germany. After one year Ancestral come back with a new demo CD colled “BREED OF CHOSENS” that continued the concept from the first release. Breed of Chosens is more mature work than first and the band received an excellent response around the world: (Top demo www.metal.it (EUTK.NET); 8/10 Metal Shock; 8/10 Crash Magazine, and more…). Breed of Chosens is available also in Japan by Soundholic Rec. Besides, Ancestral are present to the first edition of CD compilation “GUN BLAST INTO THE UNDERGROUND” (Shining/Crash) and the 2nd edition of the international CD compilation “THE HELLISH ARTS OF PERVERSION” by the Russian label “The Flaming Ars rec”. In this Years the Band was present at many important Metal Festival as the first edition of “Dominus Metal Festival” and have played with great Band as Vision Divine, Thy Majestie and more…. After many months of hard work and many problems of line up, as the leaves of Leonardo Fasitta, replace by the new entry Giovan Battista Ferrantello, Ancestral are released, in February 2006, a new promo CD called “The Walls of Troy”, thanks to it Ancestral was signed a deal for the historic Italian Label Underground Symphony.
