2016-05-25 / RobertSaligia / Reads: 5431

For the third album from Swedish Ashbury Heights we waited far too long.

2010-06-04 / Medea / Reads: 3036

New ASP single is a piece of well fabricated, specific darkwave, which the band is known for. Besides title tracks we can also find their covers of Trio and The Cult and two remixes by Project Pitchfork and Clan of Xymox. Each and every song is well-rounded and thought out...

The music on this record is perfect for a dark gothic party. Candles, smoke and the smell of incense in the background. You can feel the erotic dreams fill the body....
