Ancient drummer rehearsing with Fire Trails
Fire Trails was born out of the ashes of the classic Italian hard rock band Vanadium, featuring the charismatic singer Pino Scotto.
The band's previous drummer, Lio Mascheroni, departed after the release of the album "Vanadium Tribute" in 2003.
Ancient's sixth album, "Night Visit" was released in June 2004 through Metal Blade Records. The follow-up to 2001's "Proxima Centauri" was recorded at Mirage and Alpha-Omega studios.
The album was mixed at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden with producer Fredrik Nordström (Hammerfall, In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, Spiritual Beggars, among others). Mastering was done at Sterling Sound in New York City.
