Ivory Knight
Up From The Ashes

October 2001
Released: 2001, Independent
Rating: 3.5/5
Reviewer: Waspman

The first song that really grabbed me was “Perfect 10”, a song that seems to be about vanity. Like most of the disc, it is firmly mid-paced but still manages to show off the vocals of John Perinbam and the guitar fireworks of Rob Gravel.

Some of you may recognize the name Ivory Knight from EvilG’s review of this CD a few months back. Well, the band was nice enough to send me copy of the disc as well, so I figured I’d give my take on it too. For the most part, I’d say that EvilG hit it right on: this is quality mostly mid-paced melodic metal, bordering on hard rock. Not particularly heavy, but still pretty cool.
