Featuring a wide array ofexotic old and world instruments, fused with modern electronics andvocals in three different languages, Unto Ashes blends the renaissancefolk goth genres into a melange of pathos. Kit Messick's vocals arehauntingly sad on Teach Me How To Drown. Quid Vides begins as a verymellow chant and evolves into Arabic-Turkish dance. Michael Laird'svoice, reminiscent of Art Garfunkel, sounds so peaceful, and his songsare so pretty, yet rather incongruous when he sings about drowning andmisery, as in Scourge. Der letze Ritter sounds like early-period DeadCan Dance, featuring crashing percussion and hyperactive dulcimers. Thediscordant melodies and hand-drum in Conjuration to Lilith gives apagan ritual finale to the recording. Highly recommended.
