The Dark Side Reveal: Amy's Ashes- Artist of the Month(MAY)

INFO about Amy's Ashes

Amy’s Ashes, formed in late 2007 in Uppsala Sweden, was essentially guitarists Aliz’ and Eric’s dorm room baby until the duo realized that something needed to happen - it had to be something new and big! After a few home recordings, the duo got in touch with drummer Matte Modin (Raised Fist, ex. Dark Funeral) and bassist Gus (Defleshed) to complete the line-up, led by Aram (The Mist of Avalon) on vocals.In March of 2008 Amy’s Ashes entered the studio to debut their sound – a glitzy mix of gothic tendencies and fashionably crunchy modern rock. The self-released EP, produced by Örjan Örnkloo (In Flames), gained immediate success amongst fans and alternative press. The band was soon signed by Mama Trash Promotions and was reached by an international audience, resulting in a spot at the 2009 Finnish Trash Fest II. Airtime in American, English, French and Finnish alternative radio along with various interviews, the band was approached to be a part of the compilation album “In trash we trust”, released in the US.Shortly after the EP was released the guys were approached by several labels, but unsatisfied with the conditions offered; writing new songs, playing gigs and building a buzz felt more important than anything offered prior to this day.Amy’s Ashes are currently working together with the renowned producer Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, In Flames, Strapping Young Lad) on a single from the forthcoming debut album. The single, followed by a music video will be released later in 2009. The band is also looking for a proper label to present them.Aram VocalsAliz GuitarEric Guitar, programmingMatte DrumsGus BassAmy’s Ashes, formed in late 2007 in Uppsala Sweden, was essentially guitarists Aliz’ and Eric’s dorm room baby until the duo realized that something needed to happen - it had to be something new and big!
