Reviews:

Metal Exile • Modern rock has been given a major kick in the ass in the form of Back From Ashes. Back From Ashes has dared those lines and created a monster in the form of Broken. Hailing from Phoenix, it is a hard existence but they have persevered to deliver what will go down as a monumental Indy CD from a monumental band. 10 tracks make up their debut CD and they are relentless in their attack and hard to describe. The riffs are brutal but yet commercial and the vocals are what the new Generation needs… I would say Disturbed, Pantera and any of the newer breed band fans would eat this up, period. CD review by Jeffrey Easton


Sea Of Tranquility: • “From Arizona comes Back From Ashes and their debut Broken, a solid metal platter that is well executed and produced. Tunes like "Welcome to Me", 'Father Fiction", and "Tightrope" all contain tons of melody to go along with their metalcore fury.


Wort’s Mosh Pit: • “Upon first listen, I thought of Damageplan. It’s heavy, but yet, still accessible, and not all that heavy. It has some good ol breakdowns, some clean singy parts, some almost Tool sounding stuff too, maybe a little Static X. It goes back and forth from being heavy to more hard rock-post grunge stuff.” Wort


Melted Metal: • “The name 'Back From Ashes' suggests that these guys have been to Hell, and just came back on the Vengeance Express. Whatever, they have endured, and wherever they have been, the music they're pumping simply rocks your spinning head clean-off! Phoenix, Arizona, is launching some great acts. Back From Ashes is here to stay.”


Rough Edge • “Arizona metal quartet Back From Ashes have concocted a well-balanced blend of metal on their 10-track debut, "Broken." Heavy enough to satisfy the ardent headbanger, tracks like "Walking the Line" and "Vicarious" combine a machine gun rhythm section with molten riffs, while "Better Off Dead" is propelled by a hearty vocal performance that switches between gruff screams and melodic singing. Chances are -- if you dig modern metal like Slipknot, Ill Nino, and Mudvayne -- there's something here for you courtesy of Back From Ashes.” Mike SOS


Metal Beer Horror • BACK FROM ASHES are an underground band from Arizona who are making a name for themselves. If you remember the 80's, the bands coming out of Arizona were a pretty mixed bag of thrash metal...SACRED REICH, ATROPHY, and FLOTSAM AND JETSAM. Do BACK FROM ASHES carry on in that tradition? They have a much more "modern" (down-tuned, semi-progressive...kinda like TOOL) sound in their approach. Is that a bad thing? Yeah...if you can't write songs or play to save your ass. Fortunately, BFA are a strong enough band, on both fronts, to convert people who would slag these guys off otherwise. I hope these guys do a lot more in the future...I don't think they'll remain "underground" for much longer. Check them out on MySpace and decide for yourself...these guys are damn good.


Slam Magazine • “Was simply blown away” Carl Jenkins


Rock My Monkey • “Back From Ashes is an Arizona based metal act that pleasantly surprised this writer, and the reasons why may surprise some of you. There seems to be a lot of Mudvayne influence here with touches of both Tool and Slayer, ALL of which come out to equal winnage in my eyes. Hell, even my 1 year old likes them, and as I type this he is banging his head to "Tightrope". These guys meld really good melodic hooks with heavier riffs with a very catchy sound. "Broken" is a record that you can get into quickly. As a whole I think this album is great. If you're just a fan of bands like Ill Nino, Fear Factory, Slipknot, etc...You’ll dig on these guys. I found the cd truly satisfactory and catchy. Monkey. Rocked. Indeed. “
