ANCIENT SETTLERS release new single 'A New World Order', out now, new EP 'Transition' out on 2nd May
Ancient Settlers return with their new single 'A New World Order', released worldwide today via Crusader / Golden Robot Records.
In one of their more melodious compositions to date, Ancient Settlers criticise the new post-pandemic system. 'A New World Order' has catchy synthesisers, a guttural-clean voice duet with Dalay Tarda (Rise To Fall) on backing vocals, getting straight to the core and bouncing between different emotions throughout. Relentless from opening note, 'A New World Order' is bound to be a fan favourite.

The new EP Transition from Ancient Settlers will be released on May 2nd, 2023. This new chapter is the interlude of the Settlers Saga. An ambitious, melodic, diverse, rough, technical, and aggressive 4-track EP. Each song with its own personality, defined by the catchy and memorable guitar riffs and a source of different vocal approaches. Lyrically, the EP draws on contemporary topics like the war, the post-pandemic challenges, gender inequalities, the migrant crisis across the world, and the challenges of our society.
