A Holy Warrior Releases a Healing Album and Single
An author, healer, multi-instrumentalist, singer, social worker, world traveler, leader of high-IQ Poetic Genius Society, Scottish Lord, a self-defense specialist and a monk – to name only a few of his accomplishments – mAncient is back with a new album entitled “Holy Warriors” as well as a brand new, hot-out-of-the-oven collaborative single “Chakra 10 (Let’s Pray)” that features his label mate Tom Tikka. Both releases are out on MBTM Records.
This is an album that serves only one main purpose: to heal the listener. Says mAncient:
Nature is my healer. Some tracks on “Holy Warriors” feature the symphony of birds recorded live. Chakra 8 features a live recording of bees as well. And if you notice the howl of a wolf … that’s my dog, Trollheads Nessi, who has a strong wolf-vibe to her howl. My goal is to give healing to the listener. Frequent listening may come with some side effects: increased concentration, happiness, and moments of bliss.
Just as his attitude towards making music suggests, mAncient is on a mission to make planet earth a better place, and he has been quite successful at it, too. In addition to being included in the World Book of Peace, he is using his global network of 200.000 or so like-minded followers to bring about positive change wherever there is a need. And believe it or not, somewhere on the way, he has also founded both the Earth House Church and the Earth House Charity – a driven individual by anyone’s standards.

In 2021, mAncient’s music passed the 6-million mark in streams. It’s quite a feat in this day and age. But don’t take that as a quality guarantee. Have a listen yourself. Close your eyes, let the music speak to you and let it embrace you and let it heal you. Our guess is that just like so many before you, you will also find yourself pressing play again and again … and again.

Album Review
Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”
Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.
Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.
“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.
The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.
The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
