Ashenheart are an international band with embers from the United States and the United Kingdom that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for an atmospheric mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Tales From Eternal Dusk" which will be released in April by Fiadh Priductions.
Clean playing and atmospheric sounding keyboards start off the ep before going into a heavier direction. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody along with the music also having its symphonic moments and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
A couple of the tracks are also long and epic in length while one song also adds in a brief use of acoustic guitars. The songs also add in a good mixture of both modern and old school influences and most of the music also sticks to a mid tempo section.
On this recording Ashenheart expands on their atmospheric style of black metal by adding in more death metal and symphonic touches to create something different from their previous release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark fantasy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ashenheart and if you are a fan of atmospheric black and death metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Empire Of The Necromancer" and "Hymn To Silence The Lights". 8 out of 10.
