ASCENDIA - The Lion And The Jester

[General Zod]

Love the vocals, enjoying the music.

I'm still waiting for the cd to arrive. I ordered it from the band directly since Lasercd was out of stock and I've been waiting now for 10 days for it. I'm fucking impatient!

ASCENDIA - “WE HONESTLY LOVE THE FACT THAT WE’RE DIFFERENT”

 

[hoodaman]

Funny. I was thinking "man I hear a little Howard Jones in this guy's voice sometimes" and then one of the recommend vids is them covering a KSE tune.

I got the same vibe. Then I realized that the bridge of the posted song is pretty damn close to the chorus of "Rose of Sharyn" by KSE

 

[ptbbos]

They played a short set last night, here in Toronto. Great performance - very impressed with Nick's live performance.

Only complaint was there set was too short - it was a Wacken Metal Battle, so 25 minutes per band.

Looking forward to seeing them open for Haken.

 

[Oblivion Ocean]

Saw this pop up in the best of 2015 thread and then I saw the lyrics video for Faded Away, s I had to pick it up. I am really impressed so far. The vocals and songs are very strong. I will add to the chorus of praise.

 

[Harvester]

Epic!

Amazing song and powerful video

 

[korruption]

*pops in almost a year later*
Why in the fuck did it take me so long to discover such a band!!! Played the single, fapped, ordered it up, fapped again.

What a vocalist, too! I hear a little Mathias Blad meets Ray Alder in there!

Ascendia talks inspiration, favorite songs, and anniversary of debut album

 

[Random Axe]

Words aren't accurate enough to describe how special this album is to me. This is my favorite of the last decade at least.
