3rd album from 2018 by this American band and a long-awaited return more than a decade after its previous studio release. Rather than following modern trends, ASHBURY continues to cultivate the same musical identity that turned "Endless Skies" into a cult classic, further exploring a sound rooted in Melodic Hard Rock, Classic Rock and strong 1970s influences.
"Eye of the Stygian Witches" shines through its elegant guitar harmonies, evocative atmospheres and songwriting approach, recalling bands such as WISHBONE ASH, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT and THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND far more than the traditional Heavy Metal scene with which it is often associated. Nostalgic without sounding dated, the album reinforces ASHBURY's unique character and proves that the Davis brothers' songwriting abilities remained fully intact decades after their debut.
Recommended for fans of: WISHBONE ASH, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, LYNYRD SKYNYRD, THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND. [Slipcase]
