Literature:
Ancestral is an anthropological perspective of human idiosyncrasies, what we have become as a species, and also touches on our influence in fast-paced societies. When listening to the entity that is Ancestral, the listener will most likely notice not one singular genre of music, but a coalescence of many. Each album, EP or demo focuses, or will focus, on one specific topic (e.g. Avowal's main focus was about taking the time to escape from the social interaction aspects of society and just breathe deep and lose yourself in your own thoughts) and will not stray too far from the topic itself.
Ancestral is the knowledge a person attains through isolation, the unstable feelings of both happiness and depression, and the thought of not waking up in the morning, or even the thought of actually waking up to another day of this accepted slavery that is called life. Ancestral is found, yet lost; is living, yet dying; breathing, yet suffocating. Ancestral is the inability to differentiate reality from dreams. Ancestral is the humans that ignorantly look to the sky for answers, trying very hard to fly, yet knowing there are no wings, but is also the ability to use what genetic equipment we were meant to use. Ancestral is the struggle for more life, yet also the selfish desire to end it. Ancestral is everything; Ancestral is nothing.
