So hide, soon safe and sound
Your features are waning
And your laugh begins to fade
Can I close my eyes, just till the morning arrives
I want be nowhere, and not found, for a while
Look away, I can’t bear to see your pain
You saw but sorrow and it’s hard to gain
A clean slate for a rainy day
Belong somewhere, for a while
Break these chains of violence
We stained our hands
Still hoping we could change
We were close enough to find out
One last soldier mesmerized
Spare my soul
From hell of my own making
I know that I must face my own flaws
Maximum Haardrock. This album is so fun to listen to at work. It has highs and lows, the riffs are catchy, The drums are in your face. Calle really is a riff genius. Anvbisindy
Before Ashen, I thought they were overrated. Deathcore bands seem to have a capacity to evolve quickly. I’ve seen quite a few bands in this genre grow exponentially from one album to the next, and Ashen is a particularly strong example. Metallurgical Fire
Midwestern prog-metal stalwarts go for the throat on their new EP, featuring a roiling cover of the Smashing Pumpkins' “1979.” Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2019
The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2024
Intense and interesting. Clearly worshipping at the altar of Meshuggah, and while vocals are absent that void is filled by a more intense bottom end, and guitar picking that becomes its own rhythmic instrument.
This is brilliant, but I’d love to see what this guy would do with some artistic collaboration. One man bands can get stuck in one dimension and the potential shown here could be a global phenomenon with just a little tweaking.
Let me finish by saying again, this is brilliant. Lute FP
