From ashes - Dream of Eternity

Christian metal is growing fast and new bands are popping up everywhere. From the deep forest of Finland From Ashes can be found. This is a somewhat odd band, plying symphonic blackmetal, with a celloist in the band! This is their three-song-demo and it sounds promising, very symphonic with fast kickdrums. I have some small things to complain about, though. First of all, and the thing that bothers me most, is that the singer sounds quite strange, as he's using some kind of throat-sound...change that to the normal blackmetalscreaming and this will be a fine metal piece. Secondly, the guitar is mainly a rhytmguitar and a lead guitar could be added to make this really good. Nevertheless this is a good demo and the cello is extremly cool and really lifts the whole thing!
