PORTUGUÊS - A ideia inicial para formar o Ancesttral surgiu em 2003, mas foi retomada apenas em 2005 com a gravação do EP Helleluiah. Em 2006, a banda começou a preparação de seu primeiro álbum, The Famous Unknown (O Ilustre Desconhecido), concluído em 2007, contando com participações especiais de Vitor Rodrigues (Torture Squad), Roger Lombardi (Goatlove, ex-Sunseth Midnight), Paul X (Monster) e Heros Trench (Korzus).
The Famous Unknown foi eleito álbum de melhor capa nacional de 2007 e ainda ficou com o sexto lugar entre os melhores discos de 2007. Além disso, a banda ainda obteve o terceiro lugar entre as bandas revelações do mesmo ano. Tudo isso pela votação realizada pela revista Roadie Crew.
Musicalmente, as referências vêm de nomes como Metallica e White Zombie, mas, em virtude do background de seus músicos, também segue a escola do trash metal praticado no fim dos anos 1980 e início dos 1990, como Metal Church, Testament e Slayer.

Musically, the references come from names such as Metallica and White Zombie, but because of the background of the musicians, also follows the school of trash metal practiced in the late 1980 and early 1990 as Metal Church, Testament and Slayer.

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!

Hey there guys, just stopping by to say Hi. Also, just incase you haven't seen the Bulletins. My Metal radio show has a new night as well as a new station. Same time as before 20:00pst until (usually) midnight pst. But, the station is now www.hardrockradiolive.com and the day is now Saturdays. Hope you all can find your way there some Saturday night, could be a little insurance that you will magically be in my playlist, hahaha. Hard Rock Radio Live is consistantly one of the Top 10 Metal stations on Shoutcast. We have a chatroom also, stop by some Saturday and say hi.
