Paul Chain - Ash
Review by Paul Jacobson
Ash by Paul Chain is a mesmerizing album that showcases the artist's impressive musicianship and creativity. The album features a unique blend of heavy metal and experimental music, creating a distinctive sound that is both complex and captivating.
From the hauntingly beautiful opening track "Ashes" to the epic and intense "Spirits," each song on this album is a masterpiece in its own right. Paul Chain's guitar work is particularly impressive, as he effortlessly weaves together intricate riffs and solos that perfectly complement the album's dark and moody atmosphere.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Room of Shadows," which features haunting vocals and a brooding, atmospheric sound that is both eerie and captivating. Another highlight is "Mystical," a track that showcases Paul Chain's ability to create complex and layered compositions that are both powerful and melodic.
