Founded in 2021 in St. Sebastien, Spain, "Ancient Settlers" is a divergent Modern Melodic Death Metal band. They draw inspiration from the recent tragedies that have affected human life and aim to explore the boundaries of modern melodic death metal, incorporating catchy guitar riffs, melodies, synths, keyboards, and various sounds and rhythms to develop their own musical identity.

Throughout their relatively short career, Ancient Settlers have collaborated with renowned music producers such as Grammy winner Fredrik Nordstrom (In Flames, Opeth, Architects, Bring Me The Horizon, etc.), Daniel Cardoso (Angelus Apatrida, Noctem, Anneke Van Grisbergen, etc.), and Pedro J. Monge (Rise To Fall, Feelingless,Vhaldemar, etc.).

Recognizing the significance of impactful artwork, the band has worked with designers and illustrators like Gus "Perkele" Sazes (Angra, Kamelot, Gus G, Firewind, Arch Enemy, Morbid Angel) and Jon Toussas (Suicide Angels, Metal Hammer, Mors Principium Est, Nightrage, etc.).

In 2021, Ancient Settlers signed a contract with Australian metal label "Crusader Records"; which is part of the "Golden Robot Entertainment Group"; and they release during this period 2 albums.  

An Ep, "Transition" (2023), as well as one LP, "Our Last Eclipse – The Settlers Saga Pt." (2022).The LP reached the 75th position on the global metal album chart on Amazon.com, and all three singles were featured in editorial playlists on Apple Music, Deezer, and Tidal.

In collaboration with Dronicon Films in 2022, they released a two-chapter animated sci-fi film series: "Library of Tears", And "Cast In Gold" 

In 2024 the band inked a multi-album deal with the italian label "Scarlet Records", and release their 2nd Lp "Oblivion´s Legacy", produced again by Fredrick Nordstrom At Fredman Studios (Gothemburg, Sweden), and again with the art-cover illustration by Jon Toussas.
