Meltdown

This edition includes a bonus limited edition DVD disc with a five videos, a making-of video, and a mini documentary. Meltdown, which has gone certified gold in the UK, was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, System Of A Down), "I always think American records sound better sonically," says Wheeler. "They always seem to have better engineering, better studios, so we wanted to check it out first hand." Meltdown takes all the pop thrills, kinetic melodies and slamdunking riffs that made the world love Ash, then douses them in petrol and drops in a match. This is Ash at their melodic best, a glimpse into their darker heart... exactly the kind of music that four twentysomething rock fans should be making after a decade in action.
