Here we have the first demo from Frost Like Ashes bringing some outstanding black/ death metal. This demo contains five songs
one of them is a cover of Black Sabbath of the song "After Forever."
I placed CD into my stereo and the first thing I noticed production wise, skills and stuff nice, then the first track was a really nice song,
after it finishes the second and most outstanding song from this demo started, "A Cruel Verse" it starts with some whispers, then some awesome guitar works, and very fast
drumming, it caught my attention since the beggining, after a while I heard some vocals alike to those that Dany Filth (COF) performs, then the whole chorus was sung
with those vocals which makes a great feature here! The keyboards keep sounding in a very cool way and wow, this was since the
beginning my favorite song.
The third song "Adorers Of Blood" is kinda slower, it keeps the vocals as growls, the guitars are awesome here, double pedals drumming here, yes, it's a great song too. The fourth song is "After Forever"
the Black Sabbath cover, and the last and final song is "Immortals" which was added as a bonus track.
The one-sheet booklet they added did not bring lyrics included, but you can read the lyrics at their official website, the packaging was nice, this a a very good demo
you should acquire. You can find it in any christian online metal store.

Notions Of Insanity |
|
Thrown to the wolves and you relish the pain
Like a shriveled weed in a rotted bouquet
Glutted on death and you’re thirsty again
And like a dog, you return to your vomit
Your place of sorrows and all of your torments
Has become your home and all of your best friends
To quench your addiction inject the drug that has filled you
And to fulfill your life turn to the one that will kill you
Mercy to you
Oh, pearls before swine
God is mythology
In your twisted mind
You’re an open grave
A festering tomb
You live like an animal
And you ’ll die like one too
Accusator! thrusting needles in eyes
While your empty sockets swarm with maggots inside
Diseases infest you, infections make you blind
Yet you lie in your cesspool swollen in pride
Slave of instinct behind facadle freedom
Doom you to gaze through the bars of diseased addictions
Go ahead; serve your master-for I know him well
He’ll throw you scraps from his table
Until you’re devoured in Hell
Mercy to you
Oh, pearls before swine
God is mythology
In your twisted mind
You’re an open grave
A festering tomb
You live like an animal
And you’ll die like one too
To not believe in God
That does not mean
You believe in nothing, rather
You’ll believe in anything
An open, empty mind
Thrown to the wolves and you relish the pain
Glutton of death and you hunger again
Your place of sorrows and all of your torments
Has become a razed fortress and your God-forsaken friends
You’re an open grave
A festering tomb
You live like an animal
And you’ll die like one too

A Cruel Verse |
“For a spirit, evil, this way comes
Lament and howl, for this spirit from the North
As a lion coming up from its lair
It will destroy you!”
He will throw you down your blood splatters
You’ll be trampled underfoot, your body mangled
You’ll become as refuse on the ground
When they go to bury you, nothing will be found
For dogs will tear and eat your rotting flesh
Your bones will be crushed and turned to dust
But this is just a taste of your fate
In this, you can trust
Your mothers and your daughters will be ravished
Your pregnant wife, ripped open, torn apart
Your infant children will be crushed before your eyes
Wild beasts will steal your sons, they will devour
He will make your laughter turn to sorrow
He will turn your joy to agony
All that you have gained will burn in fire
He is on His way!
Open your ears, listen well
When you’re destroyed, you will feel Hell
It will be better for Gomorrah
Than for you on that Day!
He’ll smear the offal from your feasts on your face
Your sacred places will be filled with human waste
Your desolation, so cruel and complete
The flesh of your children you’ll hoard and eat!
Open your ears, listen well
When you’re destroyed, will feel Hell
Rise then, bathe in Blood of The Way
Then you’ll be spared this fate!

Adorers Of Blood |
You are the Ancient One
The Ancient of Days
The end and the beginning
The object of my praise
You’re the Morning Star
You’re the Midnight Sun
I Am that I Am
You’re the Victory won
You’re Lord Sabaoth
Father, Son, mysterious Ghost
Nefarious tremble in fear
Of Your terrible host
You make the Moon blood
Turn the Sun to black
You have slain thousands
With a single Spirit
We are adorers of blood
The Blood spilt from Your veins
The Blood we drink in Eucharist
The Blood we bathe our bodies in
Blood-wrought Salvation
You’re the Sacrifice of Blood
The Firstborn of the dead
Corpse fulfilled with sin
Word manifest to flesh
Slayer of serpents
Impending death of death
Castrator of sin
The bitter wine of Wrath
We are the possessed
Possession Aeternus
Your blood flows in our veins
We are The Victorious
Others charge You with murder
Others shake their fists at You
Others don’t realize
Your Blood covers them too
We are adorers of blood
The blood spilt from your veins
The blood we drink in Eucharist
The blood we bathe our bodies in
On that same night
I will pass through and strike down every
firstborn
I will bring judgment on all gods
The Blood will be a sign for you
When I see the Blood, I will pass over you
No destructive plague will touch you
When I strike
Bathe me in Your Blood
Baptize me in Fire
Pour your Spirit on me
Fill my cup higher and higher and higher and
higher and higher!!

After Forever |
Have you ever thought about your soul - can it
be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you
just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head or is he
a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book
when you were in school?
When you think about death do you lose your
breath or
do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a
rope
do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the
light and I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and
scared at the end of our days
Could it be you're afraid of what your friends
might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
that God is the only way to love
Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun?
I think it was true it was people like you that
crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the
only one voiced
Will you be so sure when your day is near, say
you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down, now
you can't retrieve
Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is
dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one
The only one who can save you now from all this
sin and hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I
think it's too late.

Immortals (Bonus Track) |
I have immortal life through
The Blood of Jesus Christ, I
Was unleashed from the chains of sin and death
I will never die, no
Redeemed, life of freedom
Eternal salvation, seated in heavenly places
I am immortal
I live forever
How sweet it is
Not to fear death
And how sweet
To know …Truth
Now when you lay down to sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
But if you should die before you wake
Go ahead and meet your death
Go ahead and feed the worms
Be content to vanish after your demise
But I will not follow you, no
Your way so pitifully mortal
I’ve been unleashed from this coil I leave this
life Immortal!
I am immortal
I live forever
