Ashes is a Depressive Black Metal one-mans-band from the States. Influenced by only the most nihilistic acts out there, such as Burzum, Bethlehem, Shining and Lifelover, Ashes is no jolly band itself. Vowing to spread the purest of misanthropy to those who seek sinister pleasure, Ashes was received with delight by those aware of its existance.

"This is the sound of slowly wasting away to nothing, vainly preparing for an uncertain afterlife. This is far beyond 'suicidal black metal'; it's the sound of death and decay itself."
