Australia’s ASHEN set release date for BITTER LOSS debut EP, reveal first track

Ashen is a death metal band hailing from Perth Western Australia. Funnily enough I actually know of Perth, one of Alex and I’s good friends comes from there, so I know that its a very very remote city (I think a 2 day drive to the next major city) and the next stop is Antarctic if you keep heading south. That said I wanna add in general The Australians have produced their own breed of Extreme Metal since the 80s with bands like Mortal Sin and Sadistik Exekution .

So with all that said how’s Ashen? Bitter Loss records have sent us the first track from their forthcoming Ep (to be released on August 6th) Yeah its good, solid death metal with a groove. If I was in Perth, sure I would go and see them, my only criticism of them at this stage in their career is they need to develop more of a signature sound – so that the moment you crank the tunes you know “Aha thats ASHEN!” these guys are without a doubt talented so I am sure this will come in time.

Here’s the track for you to check out:

Its worth mentioning that the band features members previously from Vespers Descent, Darkenium, Chaos Divine, Burial Ground, and Nexus, Ashen‘s Godless Oath bears five tracks total coming in at a rip roaring 19 minutes, and was recorded at Overkill Studios in Perth and mixed & mastered by Marko Tervonen of The Crown fame at Studio MT in Sweden, bringing in a powerful & professional production for this first release – chainsaws included!
