Our Take
Our Take
Ancient Ascendant’s latest offering, "Echoes and Cinder," is a masterclass in death metal mayhem. From the moment the opening track kicks in, you are transported to a world of blistering riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals. The band's technical prowess is on full display here, with intricate guitar solos and complex rhythms intertwining to create a sonic tapestry that is both brutal and beautiful.
But what truly sets Ancient Ascendant apart is their ability to infuse their music with a sense of dark humour. Tracks like "The Great Flaming Tomb" and "Doomed City" are filled with cheeky lyrical references and tongue-in-cheek riffs that will have you headbanging and chuckling in equal measure.
The production on "Echoes and Cinder" is top-notch, with each instrument coming through crystal clear without sacrificing any of the raw energy that makes death metal so exhilarating. The band's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the album, from the haunting cover art to the meticulous arrangement of each song.
In a sea of generic death metal bands, Ancient Ascendant stand out as true innovators, pushing the boundaries of the genre while still paying homage to its roots. "Echoes and Cinder" is a thrilling ride from start to finish, and a must-listen for any fan of heavy music. So grab your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and let Ancient Ascendant's brutal brilliance wash over you. This is death metal at its finest.
