From PandoraoceanbluYorkshire. Raven's. Swords. Death. It has it all. Ascension is gothic doom of the highest order - cinematic, heavy, poetic and genuinely blinding. Produced by guitarist Gregor Mackintosh, it sounds enormous. An awesome cover, using George Frederic Watts' painting 'The Court of Death', depicting Death as a serene, enthroned angel.
