Ravenhearts review for Ashes to Ashes album Borderline. Thank you Dave! ASHES TO ASHES...BORDERLINE (Underground Symphony) Reviewed 16th October 2013 Italian band Ashes To Ashes started in 2010 and chose the name from the song by David Bowie. They are fronted by Marta Polverina Vassallo who not only sings like an angel, she can growl like a demented honey monster as well - great stuff! The band here churn out 11 tracks of catchy melodic music which at times reminds me of Paramore/Flyleaf on the tracks, Ballad Of The Wolf, Paradox of Perfection and Empty Bottles and Tears, to name just three, and in their heavier moments, the vocals of Marta are more akin to those of Angel Gossow of Arch Enemy fame. I must say I have taken a liking to the track Change with its ripples of synths within the number and the track Vain that is a slower number that explodes into a monster melodic song - hit single material surely!. The closer Home is rather nice too - an acoustic led ballad. Drawing comparisons from bands like Evanescence, Avenged Sevenfold, Paramore, Arch Enemy, In This Moment and Flyleaf amongst many others, this is a rather good effort from this band and I highly recommended the record to the punters who like the aforementioned bands. Their Facebook is here.. 8.5/10 (Dave)
