Christian Death - Ashes

USA
Gothic Rock, Deathrock
1985

Thoughts: All right. There are those big 80s drums. This is the most accessible thing I've heard so far in this listening project, and "accessible" isn't always a compliment. In this case, it's a code-word for "kinda boring". However, the freaky female yelling in spots redeems it a bit. A lot of repetition on this record. The dark cabaret moments are the best.

Release info: Released on vinyl in 1985 in four countries...
USA: Nostradamus / IRD 014
France: L'Invitation au Suicide / SD7 (gatefold)
Germany: Normal / Normal 15
Japan: King / K25P563... then it was re-issued on CD three times, the last being the anniversary edition in 2012.
