Death/Doom, Gothic/Doom Ashes You Leave's first album, 'The Passage Back to Life', sounds identical to My Dying Bride's 'Turn Loose the Swans'. Except it has desperate and fragile female vocals over most of the album versus growled male vocals. From there on the male vocal presence more or less disappeared from the band entirely. The bands doom tendencies were eventually replaced by a straight forward Gothic metal approach. Most of reference to their doomed roots were cut on their second album. A curious band for fans of more romantic, female fronted Gothic metal. |
