Songs for a Widow -- the fifth full-length Unto Ashes album -- is an intense and magnificent album of apocalyptic folk, medieval doom, forest metal, heavenly voices, experimental gloomscapes, military funeral choirs, and synthetic darkwave. This New York-based trio is absolutely alone in what they do. Who else besides Unto Ashes could (or would) transform Covenant's synth-pop anthem "One World One Sky" into a mournful funeral dirge? Who else would take the same song, rebuild it, and (on the same album) re-invent it once again as a colossal medieval dance, dripping with sweat and illuminated by fire? In fact, the album presents many subtle "echoes" throughout; thus the listener is harkened back to another place which may have occurred only moments -- or ages -- before. Positioned at the vanguard of the darkwave scene, Unto Ashes will be opening for QNTAL on a 17-date European tour in October. The release of Songs for a Widow heralds a brilliant new development in the darkwave genre. This album will be released in Germany on Pandaimonium Records |
