Spires - Spiral Of Ascension (Independent, 2010)


Track Listing:

1. Equilibrium (6.47)
2. The Infinite Descent (6.36)
3. Nightfall (2.17)
4. Broken Hourglass (13.34)
5. Symmetry (4.54)
6. Martyr (10.32)
7. Spiral Of Ascension (14.36)
8. A New Prayer (5.54)

Synopsis: There is no denying that Spires are heavily influenced by Opeth, albeit a less seventies prog influenced Opeth, but that doesn't detract from what they have come up with on "Spiral Of Ascension". Spires are bursting with ideas and have the execution to match, they are progressive but also aggressive utilising quieter acoustics in conjunction with deathlier moments. Given that they have released this themselves it is impressive what they have managed to achieve, you can see the attention to detail, and it's certainly deserving of attention.
