ASCENSION
- Far Beyond the Stars
Limb Music
The truth is that the United Kingdom, particularly
Scotland, from which ASCENSION hails, has not traditionally been known for
power metal bands, especially those that embody the distinct European sound.
However, there’s always a first time for everything, and ASCENSION certainly
deserves attention.
From the very first listen of their 2013 release
"Far Beyond the Stars," it was clear to me that this band draws
inspiration from two iconic groups: IRON MAIDEN and DRAGONFORCE, although they
manage to avoid the extreme excesses that characterize the latter. There are
also hints of HELLOWEEN influences in their music since they were the pioneers
of this particular sound.
ASCENSION delivers dynamic compositions brimming with
enthusiasm and melody, ensuring that they won't go unnoticed among fans of this
genre. Their sound is both invigorating and engaging, blending powerful riffs
with captivating harmonies that resonate well with listeners.
Personally, I found their music incredibly enjoyable,
and I wholeheartedly recommend giving them a listen. If you're in the mood for
some fresh power metal that carries nods to the classics while carving out a
unique identity, ASCENSION's "Far Beyond the Stars" should definitely
be on your playlist today.
