The genesis of Will of the Ancients occurred in the winter of 2002. Started by guitarist Tristan Biggar and vocalist Andrew Alush as a raw black metal band, bassist Stephen Walton, guitarist Yura Ukraman, keyboardist Colin Attlesey and drummer Chino Deville soon completed the first incarnation of Will of the Ancients. They soon penned a demo entitled Cold Grim Times, which soon gained notoriety in the Toronto metal underground. Though this lineup would not last, the band was reborn in a stronger, more evolved form as drummer David Gold, vocalist Jordy Steinberg and guitarist Tom Gendron joined the ranks and began writing for a full length album. David Gold eventually left to focus on his own band, Woods of Ypres, but no time was wasted finding a replacement in former Blood of Christ drummer, Jason Longo. Invigorated by the new addition, the band went on to craft ten distinctive, relentless and fiercely epic songs, released in 2006 as the self-titled album through Northern Storm Records. Embarking on a series of live appearances, Will of the Ancients solidified its growing reputation as one of the premier metal bands in the Ontario metal scene, delivering energetic performances and honed songwriting. Playing alongside Behemoth, Vried, Stormlord, Martyr, Neuraxis, Manegarm, Bal Sagoth, Quo Vadis, Augury and Wolven Ancestry, the band broadened its horizons, building a loyal following across North America. Unfortunately, circumstances led to Jason, Jordy and Tom leaving the band over 2007 and 2008, and though this upheaval left Will of the Ancients temporarily in tatters, the search for dedicated new members continued. In the summer of 2008, a solid new lineup was brought together, featuring members of Horde of Worms, A Weapon of Choice and Detsorgsekalf. Energized and eager to take on the world, 2009 sees Will of the Ancients setting ever higher goals, working on bold new material, and preparing to devastate expectations on tour!

There once was a time in the land where the sun was worshiped as god and its embrace with the moon made the earth hold its breath as time stood still in silence, and at that hour the smothered sun shall cloak the whole world in the dead blackness of midnight giving birth to the Element Of Eclipse.
