PRESS:

"Afterglow of Ashes sees Bruno push the envelope yet again and with striking results, its tracks forged in a mix of instrumental and vocalised compulsion and suggestion bound in diversity and individuality. (...) an outstanding encounter which from start to finish had our ears and imaginations enthralled. A.O.A. unites with every aspect of the listener, leading them through fertile landscapes and self-reflecting yet worldly adventures; simply SINC. casting their finest moment." The RingMaster Review

"The new album by Berlin-based Portuguese Bruno A. is probably the best album he has made so far. One reason for this is its improved sound, which clearly helps the composer's electronic intentions.The other is the balanced, understandable directness to his alternative rock ideas." Flight of Pegasus

"I've said it before and will say it again: Bruno A. has a gift for making exquisite and complex compositions and arrangements seem simple. And he does this without any ties to styles and genres. As for "Afterglow of Ashes", it is the most balanced and mature release to date. Bruno makes music his favourite means of escape and we should be grateful for that" Paulo Trindade Blog

"Ideally one would listen to the fine details through headphones, which also ensure an adequate close-off from the outside world. SINC. never stretches anything unnecessarily and only builds up when the compositions can take a little more breathing. Bruno A. allows the mood to flow superbly, avoids any hectic rush out and handles his compositions very delicately. (...) SINC is for those tired from all the anger and in need of new, different impulses and battery recharging" Krachfink

"Afterglow of Ashes is certainly an album that is worth checking out, I have enjoyed it quite a bit, even if it slowed down my gaming progress. It is not often you hear artists that actually dares to be a bit creative, in a way it is probably an oddity as most music artists just copies what others have done" Hallowed SE

"This is an album made for headphones just so you can experience not only the musical mood changes, but the amount of music going on. ‘Reflect Deflect Collect’ being a good example, where you can hear the guitars, percussion and synths all in one glorious mix. It covers rock, alternative, electronica and more – Bruno A is a talented musician with plenty of musical ideas. Worthy of your listening time." The Rockn'Roll Oatcake

"Afterglow of Ashes is an album which reflects the striking evolution in composition of the Berlin-based national musician and clearly the best Soundscapism Inc. moment. This may be due to his creations becoming more mature or because the rock tendencies are (again) stronger" Via Nocturna

"The new effort from Bruno A. sows brilliant sound trends that enchant us amidst the eletronica heard on delicious details and the organics of a loose piano and involving guitars." Fenther
