Trex Simply calling Ashes an EDM album is a huge understatement. Illenium's songs are bursting with emotion, spirit, wonder and hope. The vocalists he works with are breathtaking. My favorite track is the Echos collaboration, Afterlife, it almost brought me to tears. The entire album is like a Vitamin C bomb for your senses. This is fine art. A triumph. Favorite track: Afterlife (feat. Echos).

after we’re gone who will breathe the earth we lost we leave nothing but our thoughts and memories beneath the dust so when this body fails to mend and all my demons they come crashing in will i start to begin or will i fade away with them and in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine and in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine in the afterlife and in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine and in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine in the afterlife so when this body fails to mend and all the demons they come crashing in will we start to begin or will we fade away with them and in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine and in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine in the afterlife
