The band was formed in 2011 following the demise of Spread Eagle (not the New York hard rock band of the same name), a band which included Cook, Gustafson and Dyck.[2]

The band released their debut album, Heart of Oak,[3] in 2013 on Season of Mist. The album was named a long-listed nominee for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize.[4]

In spring 2013, the band toured part of the United States as an opening act for Lamb of God.[2][5] In fall 2013, the band were slated to tour both Canada and the United States as an opening act for selected dates on Sepultura's "Tsunami of Metal" tour,[6] although the tour was cancelled due to Sepultura's difficulties in obtaining travel visas to enter the United States.[7]

In 2014, Brock MacInnes left Anciients to join the band Dead Quiet.[8] Dyck left the band in January 2017,[9] but the band had recorded their second album Voice of the Void, which was released in October of 2017.[10] The album won the Juno Award for Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2018.[11]
