Avian - Ashes and Madness
Year Released: 2008

This album brings forth a melodic heavy crossover album that boarders on the edges of many of metal's subgenres such as Melodic, Power, Scandinavian, US, and German. Avian's 'Ashes and Madness' is the amazing sophomore effort of vocalist/ producer Lance King, best known for his many albums with Balance of Power, Pyramaze, and Gemini, and guitarist /composer Yan Leviathan.

The band's debut album featured known Megadeth bassist David Ellefson. This new offering the band has added guitarist Bill Hudson, who is known for his work with PowerQuest, Circle II Circle, and Cellador. These songs well written, memorable, and while being very heavy, they are still very accessible and radio friendly. These songs are sure to grab the listener on their first listen.
