Ashes To Ashes


Ashes to Ashes look at ’98 as the year that marked the real beginning for the band. Although the band had been around since ’92, those first 6 years was more to seek out the direction and improve their own sound and skills. In the fall of ‘98 they began the work on their self financed debut album, ”Shapes of Spirits”. An album intended for promotional use only. This album was released in January 2000 and quickly drew attention in the underground movement. With the 2002 release, “Cardinal VII”, the band took an overall more “in your face” approach and direction. More upbeat songs but also heavy grinding stuff like “Truth on scaffold” and a ‘doom mixed with classical music and Gregorian singing(!) number like “Sic transit gloria mundi”. Classical music was also included in a bigger fashion than before. Both albums has received excellent reviews in magazines and webzines worldwide and we recommend that you check some of them out at the reviews section on www.atoa.net Last year included live performances at the Elements of Metal-festival in Norway with acts such as Einherjer and Susperia, and the ProgPower-festival in the Netherlands with After Forever among others. 2003, the band continues to play gigs and write for a third album (release sometime in 2004) alongside recording their first video ever for the song “Behind closed eyes”.
