Jess and the Ancient Ones released a three-song EP titled 'Astral Sabbat' on 22 February 2012, recorded with the Swedish sonic wizard Tore Stjerna of Necromorbus Studio in their hometown Kuopio. 'Astral Sabbat' pushed forward the boundaries of the sound established on their first full-length and forging their own path, as personified by the rather unusual choice of cover song 'Long And Lonesome Road,' originally written and recorded by the Dutch rock outfit Shocking Blue, known for their mega-hit 'Venus.' "We wanted to give these works a space entirely their own, so that listeners can focus on them completely. For this purpose, we considered an EP the perfect means. Regarding the surprising choice of cover, I had heard the song at a very young age. And now, after travelling many roads, it returned to me. It is a timeless song and I hope someone discovers Shocking Blue through us," revealed guitarist Thomas Corpse more than 10 years ago. 'Astral Sabbat' proved that Jess and The Ancient Ones were already back then way beyond all those occult, prog or retro-rock tags and playing a game of their own.
