REVIEWS
Vampire Church Newsletter, 2004
Hello All, Twilight here, this month I'm grateful to the editors for allowing me to step in and fill Silver's shoes for the music review, in order to bring you a band I've become rather fond of - URN. They've recently released their EP, "Desecrated Ashes", and I'm happy to be able to share it.
The EP includes six songs, and a very special guest appearance by the vampire community's own Michelle Belanger. In addition to being a talented vocalist and songwriter who co-authored the track "Angels Are Weeping" with guitarist/vocalist Dominic St. Charles in their band Sacrosanct in the early 90's, she is well known to the community as the author of the Vampire Codex and the founder of House Kheperu. More information about Michelle and her current projects can be found at http://michellebelanger.com/.
The tracks on the EP are:
One Last Day
This track begins with somber, moody keyboards and goes right into a hard, heavy guitar intro. Vocals are wonderfully balanced between male and female, and the overall tone of the song is dark and longing. "All that I wanted from this world, is that one last day be with you"... a sentiment of things undo
