Bio: .... It is all about the groove, the energy and the intensity, the dueling guitars tuned down to a thunderous growl, the pumping bass lines, the addictive choruses and melodies that can be so subtle and subdued, then in an instant smash you in the face. The direction Ashes of Iron take to manipulate these grooves and chosen chord patterns is what makes them unique to the bands of the same caliber. This is why they are one the Northeast’s favorite heavy rock artists................. On March 14th 2008, Ashes of Iron first took the stage to a packed out venue in Sunderland. An astounding first show for the band made them come to realize that they weren’t your everyday band. Opening for the likes of Brant Bjork and the Bros,Viking Skull, Firebird and Gentelmans Pistols are highlights of what Ashes of Iron have achieved so far to date, whilst being personally asked by Therapy? To open for them at a sold out show at Newcastle’s O2 Academy shows that there is something about this band. Dave Ling writing for MetalHammer confirmed they sound like a concrete brontosaurus! and described them as "Pissed Off Retro Rock" The band very much approved........... Ashes Of Iron are looking forward to their London debut at a sold out electric ballroom show supporting Garcia Plays Kyuss and another show with fellow Kyuss/Fu Manchu man Brant Bjork at Leeds cockpit. With a debut album underway, 2010 is shaping up nicely for the Ashes. www.myspace.com/ashesofiron ashesofiron@hotmail.co.uk .. ..
