Leave No Ashes

Leave No Ashes is the second album from Burning Brides, and it’s one dark motherfucker. The Brides’ combination of low guitar tones and wickedly themed lyrics sung with attitude results in a menacing rock sound. Sinners should appreciate the lyrical content of Leave No Ashes, since many seem spawned from a musical Mephistopheles. On the disc’s first single, “Heart Full Of Black,” Dimitri Coats sings “I made a promise on the side of the road / that I would bury my goddamn halo” before an infectiously head-bobbling chorus. My only complaint is in a few places the delivery of the lyrics is lacking. “Dance With the Devil” is one instance where the singing wears thin due to over exaggeratingly holding the notes a bit too long. Luckily, the introduction of a descending piano part compensates for it.– Connell Burton McDaniel

Burning Brides
Bio[+]The seeds of Burning Brides were germinated in New York City where Boston-born guitarist/singer Dimitri Coats was pursuing a career in theatre and Texas-born bassist Melanie Campbell was studying modern dance. After the two hooked up and dropped out of The Juilliard School, they eventually resettled in Philadelphia, forming the group and signing with local indie label File 13, eventually adding drummer Jason Kourkounis to the lineup. The group built up a reputation as an excellent, brutal live band, throwing down concussive riffs with passionate delivery. They released Fall of The Plastic Empire in 2001 on File 13, but soon signed with V2 Records, re-releasing their newly Howie Weinberg- remastered album in September of 2002.
