Row of Ashes 'Tide into Ruin' album launch at The Golden Lion
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Row of Ashes are bulldozing the Bristol sludge landscape with their hulking Frankenstein sound, stitched together from propulsive noise rock and careening post-hardcore body parts. Witness their frankly frightening evolution in the flesh alongside Opium Lord’s blackened doom tendencies and post-metal titans Urzah. Fucking epic FFO: Mastodon, Will Haven, Unsane, LLNN, Conjurer, Neurosis."
