Ashen - Ritual Of Ash - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Ashen - Ritual Of Ash / Originally released 2 years ago on now defunct Aussie tag, Bitter Loss Records, we are excited to announce the re-issue of Australia's up-in-coming heavyweight contenders, ASHEN, and their monstrous debut album, Ritual of Ash, for the first time worldwide! - While harkening back to Death Metal's heralded past, Ritual of Ash sees these fine blokes conjuring an infectious combination of Swede-inspired tone with pummeling groove and sonic superiority courtesy of mixing / mastering engineer, Marko Tervonen of Studio-MT (The Crown). The album rolls along like a bulldozer at a mid-paced dirge, highlighted by moments of rolling double bass, blastbeats and melodic passages that would satisfy any extreme metalhead. Critics have previously praised the album for it's dynamic compositions and the band's ability to infuse traditional death metal with a fresh, modern edge. - Drawing inspiration from both Swedish and American death metal traditions, Ashen delivers a sound that is unapologetically heavy yet meticulously crafted. Their music is characterized by relentless energy, intricate guitar work, and a rhythm section that drives each track with precision. As they continue to evolve, Ashen remains committed to pushing the boundaries of death metal while honoring it's rich legacy.
