It’s a strong, powerful rhythm with traditionally harsh Death vocals. The song “Black Coffin” leads off the album. The band itself would describe its style as some kind of Post Melodic Death Metal.
The lyrics mostly deal with sorrowful feelings, love death and various emotions, often described by nature-related metaphors and tales. A contrast between hard riffs, aggressive growling and screaming vocals on the one side and catchy melodies, clean and acoustic guitar parts, mixed with Prog and Post Rock elements on the other side, was created. Their music is inspired by the members’ taste of music, mainly Scandinavian Death, Melodic Death and Black Metal, but also Classic and modern Prog, and Post Rock. Following the release of a demo in 2010, the band was later signed to WormHoleDeath Records, and have released their first full-length album here.
ASHES OF MOON is a Melodic Death Metal band based out of Austria.
