Unto Ashes formed in Sacramento in the late 1990s, with founding members Aaron Harris on drums, Chris Basile on guitar, and Ryan Patterson handling vocals. Their music sits in Gothic metal territory, drawing from doom and ethereal sounds. They've explored themes of witchcraft and paganism in songs like 'Witches' Rune' and 'A Hymn to Pan.'
Their albums include 'Crimson,' 'The Eternal Kingdom,' and 'The Vault.' The lineup has seen changes over time, with musicians like Steve Brogden on synth and Chris Mazza on guitar and vocals joining at points. Their lyrics sometimes touch on darker subjects, which has sparked some discussion.
They have a catalog of songs that includes 'Conjuration to Lilith,' 'De Store Smerter,' and 'I Am Blind.' The band's sound incorporates elements of industrial and symphonic styles alongside their Gothic metal foundation.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
