Rocktopia: Shadowgarden - 'Ashen' - CD Review

A Fireworks Magazine / Rocktopia album review by John Tucker: To say don't give up the day job to Johan Ericson would be extremely unfair. 'Ashen' is the debut release by Shadowgarden, the side-project to his more well-known post in Swedish goth-doomsters Draconian, and it's an extremely good album indeed. The idea behind Shadowgarden was originally conceived by the guitarist and his then Draconian bandmate Andy Hindenäs back in the mid-nineties, and as a project it's been picked up and put down more times than a well-thumbed copy of 'Playboy'. http://ping.fm/lkRhJ
