Playthrough: “Ashes Lie Still” from Ingested!

Another warning shot has been issued by Manchester Death Metal Kings Ingested as drummer Lyn Jeffs performs the title track from the bands “Ashes Lie Still” album and a single that features Julia Frau. Co-produced by the band and previous collaborator Nico Beninato who also tracked the drums in his studio in Mallorca Spain, the album also features bass work from Dominic Grimard of Ion Dissonance and The Last Felony fame.

“Ashes Lie Still was written in my darkest times, my father suddenly passed away while I was on tour and the very next day Covid halted our career for over two years. You can hear my pain and frustration musically as well as lyrically; it’s a dark, brooding piece and Julia compliments the feel of the track perfectly. It’s an incredibly personal song to me and I’m proud it’s the first single from our Metal Blade debut” comments guitarist and backing vocalist Sean Hynes. “Being signed to Metal Blade Records is an important moment for the band so we’ve made sure that this is the most complete album we’ve ever produced. We’ve grown exponentially as songwriters and people, this album has a darker, more mature feel to it that we think any fan of death metal or metal in general will love. It’s got an energy to it that’s hard to describe, you can just feel it when you hear it.”
