Ashes

Christian Death

A funeral procession of sound where Rozz Williams' poetic despair meets cavernous, reverb-soaked guitars. Slow, theatrical, and deeply haunting deathrock.

It's like a funeral for the world recorded in a haunted opera house.

A profound and theatrical descent into mourning and surrealist despair.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the transition from the title track's mournful opening into the jagged, rhythmic pulse of Part II
the way the bassline in 'When I Was Bed' anchors nearly eight minutes of hallucinatory, spoken-word delivery
the sudden, piercing guitar feedback that cuts through the atmospheric fog of 'Of the Wound'
