Ko sem označil Embers ''The birds will fly again...'' za najboljšo plato na Avstrijski Burning Season records sem se nehote zlagal, kajti to kar delajo Fallen Into Ashes mi je bolj všeč in mi je žal, da nisem tem petim komadom že prej posvetil malo več časa. Seveda ima tudi tale mini-album svoje šibke strani ampak tukaj je vsaj čutiti nekaj originalnosti in raznolikosti. Včasih postrežejo z neskladnimi razvoji rifov in kričečim vokalom, kar pogosto vodi v metalcore kaotičnost, drugič s hitro drvečimi in melodičnimi predeli s spevnim zborovskim petjem, spet tretjič z umirjenimi predeli, kjer nastopi govorjenje. Težko si je predstavljati, ampak kljub temu do je povprečna dolžina komadov 4 min so tu tudi komadi, ki mešajo vse zgoraj navedene sestavine. Kitarista skorajda nikoli ne počivata s svojim včasih čudnim, včasih okusnim smislom za melodije in isto velja tudi za bobnarja in basista, ki prav tako prispevata k bujnemu zvoku. Kar mi ni všeč pri njihovi glasbi je neskladnost igranja in pa kompliciranje tudi tam kamor ni potrebno. Včasih izpade kot prostor s petimi glasbeniki kjer vsak zase poskuša čimprej pokazati vse svoje sposobnosti igranja, kar seveda ni dobro. Glede na to da zasedbo združujejo nekateri ex-Newborn člani lahko pričakujete rahlo podobnost, zlasti pri vokalu in nekaterih hitrih delih, drugače pa imamo tu oprvka s težjo, počasnejšo in kompleksnejšo platjo hardcora. No ja, proti NewBorn kvaliteti se ne morejo ravno primerjati. Prednja stran ovitka mi je kljub svoji preprostosti nekako vseč, kar pa se tiče ostalega je za moj okus dolgočasno in brez uloženega truda. Besedila so uredu...bolj ali manj osebna in govorijo o prizadetih č ustvih, hrepenenju po lepšem živlenju, o smrti bližnjega, itd. Vse skupaj mi prestavlja povprečen mini-album! Škoda le, da je bend že razpadel, kajti tu je čutiti obilo potenciala. English Version: When I marked Embers - ''The birds will fly again'' MCD as the best record on Austrian Burning Season records I unintentionally lied, cause what I found here I definitely like more and I feel bad I haven't spend more time in company of these five tracks. Of course, here can be find weak pointso too, but at least they have some originality and diversity. Sometimes they deliver with dissonant chord progression and screaming vocals that often leads into chaotic metalcore passages, next time they will throw in some fast driving and melodic parts with chorus singing or they will just calm things down with soothing emo portions and spoken words. It's hard to imagine but although their regualr songs length run around 4 minutes they managed to crawd together all above mentioned ingredients almost in every songs. Guitarists never rest with providing sometimes oddly, sometimes tasteful sense of melody and the same goes for drummer and bass player that in the same way contrubute to a lush sound. What I don't like about their music is inbalance of playing and comlexity where it would be better if they just left it simply. Sometimes it turns out like a room with five musicians where simultaneously each in his own way trys to show as much abilities as soon as he can, which is not always a good thing. Since this band include some former NewBorn members you can expect a slight simularity, especially with the singing/screaming and fast paced moments, but otherwise we deal here with heavier, slower and more complex side of hardcore. And no, they can't be compared with NewBorn quality! I kind of like front cover of the record, though it's really plain and minimal but I can't say the same for the rest of the lay out. It's just too dull and done effortlessly. Lyrics are ok...more or less all personal, dealing with hurted feelings, longing for better life, about death of a close friend and so on... All in all, it's a solid mini-album. Too bad they called it quite cause I can hear planty of pentiality inhere!
