After a period of great turmoil and change, Unto Ashes
delivers a new CD which can only be described as a neo-folk masterpiece: this is
an album of thirteen spells conjured for the Lady, who is everywhere and
nowhere. The Blood of My Lady is undoubtedly the most intimate Unto Ashes CD
created hitherto. Whereas Unto Ashes founder and producer Michael Laird wrote
and recorded the album in almost complete isolation, the CD has been blessed by
a number of stunning musical contributions by Kim Larsen from :Of the Wand and
the Moon: (Denmark), and Sonne Hagal (Germany). The new album is distinguished
from its predecessors by the fact that all of the lead vocalists are male
(Laird, Larsen, Sonne Hagal, Gregory Palmer); the listener is further enchanted
by superb
backing vocals courtesy of soprano
Josie Smith (a capella virtuoso). Released on Projekt and available May 5th,
2009.
