Fallen Into Ashes - _Solely Dreaming the Reconstruction of a Forgotten Revolution_
(Burning Season, 2002)

Fallen Into Ashes, a pretty recent band from the capital of Hungary, surprised me with this debut MCD. In order to master the fine arts of new-school hardcore, New Jersey style, these youngsters have obviously listened carefully to Shai Hulud, Botch and Coalesce. In a mere five tracks, they manage to impress with solid songs that interweave brutality with emotion; accent-less raw English vocals alternate with clean melodic vocals, and together they provide the perfect front for the well produced twin guitar combo while the drums and bass complete the picture. Fallen Into Ashes is a high quality band that has the disadvantage of coming from an unpopular country -- from a musical point of view -- so only time will tell if they can manage to break their national barriers. _Solely Dreaming the Reconstruction of a Forgotten Revolution_ comes highly recommended for noisecore bastards looking to expand their collection.
