"Downright Assaultive..."
-The Georgia Straight Magazine
ANTIQUUS, derived from the Latin word meaning 'Ancient', is a rising star on the west coast metal scene.
Bassist Scott Unger, vocalist Jesse White, drummer Andrew Bak and guitarists Jeff Dormer and Dave Priban spent 2002 writing and recording Antiquus' ambitious first album "Ramayana", a 60-minute epic that takes the listener from the bazaars and palaces of India's history to the future-realms of cyberspace. Without a doubt - it is quite unlike typical indie records...
Having completed the album, but before its release - both Dave and Jeff have chosen to move on to other pursuits, leaving Antiquus to search for new guitarists. More then a year passed... when finally, the band received a phone call from a young guitarist named Trevor Leonard. Thousands of miles from his hometown of St. John's, Newfoundland, he was searching for a new project... and was introduced to Antiquus. Upon their first meeting, they discovered common musical ground between Trevor's aggressive edge and the bands melodic style. Shortly thereafter, the band discovered the talents of guitarist Geoff Way, who completed the lineup and made the band whole and active once again.
While the band has a number of common musical influences (not the least of which is Iron Maiden...), each member brings something unique to the mix... Subtle (and not so subtle) suggestions of everything from Metallica and Slayer to Iced Earth and Nightwish can be found in each song. However, the chemistry that is Antiquus is not as simple as that. A passion for language, history and culture is found here - as is a sense of the theatrical. Jesse is a story-teller, giving life and voice to characters that exist within the exotic soundscapes created by soaring guitars, grinding bass and pulsing drumbeats. Antiquus takes the listener through with the past, present and into the future, through with word and song. Again, not the typical indie record...
Now that Antiquus are once again active, they will set their sights on new challenges. It's time to go to the next stage.
