This is a sound full of delectable hooks and weaving riffs that cast right out to you, reeling you in softly and slowly letting you feel the full force of their sonic might.
Where so many artists go for the easy, one-two punch these days, City Of Ashes earn their band name with deceptive and addictive sonic subtleties welded into songs and sharpened into lashing, pincer-like riffs.
This is a sound with a brutal agenda and – more importantly – its own true voice. These guys have started out with killer melodies which they have coaxed and gelled into a powerhouse debut because, unlike so many bands these days, established and otherwise, City Of Ashes know that a good tune lies at the heart of everything.
