"Spirited and heady: That’s what Folk-Metal from Russia sounds like!
Vivid and thoughtful, swift and soulful – the music of GRAI (engl. “Raven Cry”) is full of contrasting elements! The sextet from the Republic of Tatarstan in the east of Russia stands for a multifaceted mixture of delicate folklore sounds and powerful metal. - - Ashes is an album full of heart and passion, versatile and colorful: The songs range from acoustic instrumental pieces to neck-breaking metal. A true piece of the Russian soul!" (Noizgate Records).
