Strigoi (AIDS) - Shroud of Ashes

Review by Jason Yormark

Shroud of Ashes by Strigoi (AIDS) is a haunting and atmospheric album that showcases the band's ability to create a dark and foreboding atmosphere. The album features a mix of slow, brooding tracks and faster, more aggressive songs, all of which are characterized by the band's signature sound of crushing guitars, thunderous drums, and ominous vocals.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Carved into the Skin," which features a slow, ominous intro that builds to a crushing, heavy riff. The vocals are guttural and menacing, and the overall feel of the song is one of darkness and despair. Another standout track is "Phantoms," which features a more melodic approach to the band's sound, with a haunting guitar melody and clean vocals that add a sense of melancholy to the song.

Summary by Jason Yormark

Shroud of Ashes is a powerful and intense album that showcases Strigoi (AIDS)'s ability to create a truly immersive and atmospheric listening experience. Fans of dark, heavy music will definitely want to check this one out.
