Luna – Ashes To Ashes
13th June 2014I’m a big fan of the atmospheric instrumental music by bands such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Juno Reactor, and zYnthetic. So I was thrilled when I received a copy of the debut album by Ukrainian doom metallers Luna.
Ashes To Ashes consists of a single 57 minute long track of gothic doom metal. Listening to it is like listening to the soundtrack of a horror or post apocalyptic movie. It’s eerie, dramatic, epic, and disturbing in equal measure.
Luna have done an amazing job here because Ashes To Ashes varies enough that it doesn’t get overly repetitive or dull, but at the same time manages to retain an over-arching sound and feel. The musicianship is first class and so is the production on the album.
If you like your music dark and haunting then this is definitely worth checking out – awesome stuff !
Score: 9 out of 10
