'If the rest of the album sounds like this, Ablaze have really earned themselves their rightful place among Australian rock’s finest.' – Wall of Sound AU
After first single ‘Just A Taste’ grabbed the Australian music scene by the scruff of the neck, and the accompanying tour left little to the imagination about Ablaze’s hard riffs, catchy vocals and explosive live show, IT IS TIME.
It’s been many years, 2 EP’s, a DVD, car breakdowns, laughs, tears, hard work, and more gigs both in VIC and interstate than you can poke a stick at, and it’s all lead up to this. Ablaze’s long-awaited debut album is here!
Includes unlimited streaming of No Chaser
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Never been one to learn my lessons fast,
Or learn them well.
Feel the noose tighten round my neck,
I gotta get me out of this hell.
Drag myself to her door again,
I need her healin’ hands.
‘Coz no-one else gets it quite like her,
When nothing goes to plan.
But that’s alright with me
‘Coz I’m falling, and I can’t see the end,
But I know it’s gonna hurt when I land.
I’ll come crashing down, but I won’t make a sound,
Coz I know that she’ll be there when I fall,
Down on the floor,
At the bottom of my bottle again.
She lifts me up, and kicks my ass up and down,
And then she clicks her tongue and smiles.
She dusts me off, and takes me by both hands,
And then she leads me away for a while, oh!
And that’s alright with me
‘Coz I’m falling, and I can’t see the end,
But I know it’s gonna hurt when I land.
I’ll come crashing down, but I won’t make a sound,
Coz I know that she’ll be there when I fall,
Down on the floor,
At the bottom of my bottle again.
I’m at rock bottom, tryin’a pull myself out.
Now the sky is falling, the walls are crumbling now.
I’m in a riptide and it’s pulling me down,
‘Coz I’m up to my neck
And you know it’s takin’ it’s toll on me
I need you to set me free!
She’s got me covered in the eye of the storm,
And that’s alright with me, oh!
It’s always darkest right before the dawn,
And that’s alright, woah!
She’s like a Babylon redeemer,
She’s tearin’ me down, oh!
To set me free!
‘Coz I’m falling, and I can’t see the end,
But I know it’s gonna hurt when I land.
I’ll come crashing down, but I won’t make a sound,
Coz I know that she’ll be there when I fall
Like all great things in the world, Ablaze started out as an idea over beers at the local pub, intent on rocking out and
partying hard. The hard rock guitar riffs, head banger drum beats and loin-quivering bass grooves will get your fists pumping and your liver begging for mercy....more

I told myself I'd review when I could pick a favourite song. I still can't really pick one -- it'd be easier to list the ones I like the least, but even they've grown on me to a point where I want to listen to them frequently ("Funky Bonez", I'm lookin' you!). At a push it's probs "I Need Lovin'" that beats the rest -- there's just something special about it.
There's something special about the whole album, really. I love the different influences in it.

These dudes rock. Nice to hear a younger band doing this style of music so well. (Also: that Jay Alan Goodwin bloke below me is is a bogan who's DADS.) Ted Nü-Djent
