In 2008, Avian released their second album, Ashes And Madness which featured Lance King (Pyramaze, Balance Of Power) on vocals, Yan Leviathan on guitars and bass, and Bill Hudson (Cellador, Circle II Circle) on guitar solos. This newly remixed and remastered version brings the album to the dynamically audible levels that were originally intended. A bonus song is also new to this version; the piano version of Beyond The Hallowed Gates featuring current Avian vocalist, Brian Hollenbeck.
