Featuring groovy, down-tuned riffs and dark, occasionally mystical subject matter, Garden of Ash’s debut LP combines our diverse influences in Rock, Metal, Stoner, and Psychedelia while retaining a pop-sensibility and to-the-point songwriting.
“The songs and performance are both there, so this first full-length does its job in giving Garden of Ash something from which to move forward while serving notice to those with ears to hear them.”
“The lead vocalist Kristina Hunszinger has such a despairing yet powerful voice, giving each song a sinister tone as she flexes her haunting high notes over a range of gritty rock instrumentals. Despite having such a crestfallen sound, Garden of Ash is full of memorable riffs and catchy hooks, with “Roses” offering the perfect balance between the band’s bleak subject matter and pop sensibility.“
“Caustic toned guitars riffing hard over solid steady rhythms countered by vocals that are folkish and fey. This threw me for a minute or so but then I started to get into it and found myself really enjoying its fusion of styles. Favorite track: A Cautionary Tale.“
