highly recommended

Although not as poppy or fast as some of their earlier albums, this album to me defines more of what a Goth band was than any other album. It's one of those albums where you have to make yourself listen to it HARD!!! But, when you do, it rewards you.

This is one of their best albums.

Deliciously dark and romantic. Ashes is one of their best. The best musical ability that Rozz or Valor ever had to offer. Gitane is at top performance as well. "When I Was Bed" is arguably one of their best tracks!!! Marilyn Manson is a Rozz Williams wannabe!!!


One of the best gothic/death-rock records ever made...

This album is the epitome of the great things Williams and Kand acheived while they were making music together. No Christian Death record since, whether Rozz or Valor, comes close to the masterpiece that is Ashes. Valor's guitar in 'When I was Bed' is arguably his best recorded work ever. Rozz's vocals and lyrics are haunting and mysterious - poetry to read, ecstacy to listen to. If you want to hear a classic example of Christian Death, don't pass up on this record. Iron Mask? Toss it into the waste bin. Ashes will make you a beleiver.

Got to hand it to them

Gothic music always lived in the shadow of early 70's glam rock of the likes of David Bowie and the Velvet Underground and aside from later industrial and punk influence that divided it into further catagorys "Ashes" is an album that ate its own cake that it baked.

The Valor/Rozz arguement is gone for now while this CD plays we are refresehed that goth can have some real soul too. A creative peak in thier career, nothing was before it or after it was done quite as well. The production work is terrific and each of the stars made of this work Rozz/Gitane/Valor all had a chance to really show.

If you buy nothing else from Chirstian Death this album will justify it. Although for some insight try "Valor's Christian Death" = "Jesus Points the Bone at You" and "Rozz's Christian Death" = "Only Theatre of Pain" both these albums are heavier versions of each mans Christian Death ...
