Frost Like Ashes (demo)

From the state of Missouri comes a raging force called Frost Like Ashes. This three-song demo is nothing short of insane and for all those into black/death metal, this is definitely a must get. Comprised of former members of the bands World Funeral, Coven, and Possession, Frost Like Ashes just totally shreds. The music is chaotic, dark, and brutal, and the vocals are just plain sick. Vocalist Azahel used to head the band Possession, so any of you familiar with that killer band know that this guy can hang with the best of them.

All three songs, “Adorers of Blood”, “A Cruel Verse” and “Immortals” will blow you away. The production suffers a little, but still allows for an enjoyable listen. The band will also have a song on the Brutal Christmas album that will be released this fall on Sound of the Dead Records.

You can order this addictive disc straight from the band for only $5 (shipping included). Visit the Frost Like Ashes website for contact info and sound samples at: http://frostlikeashes.deadzine.com The band is also currently looking for a keyboardist, so interested parties should contact the band through their website e-mail address. Somebody sign these guys! [independent /Matt Morrow]
