Salt Lake City’s HARVEST OF ASH is
unleashing their debut full-length – Ache and Impulse. Metal
maestro Andy Patterson (Sub Rosa, The Otolith) recorded the album.
Philadelphia’s Horror Pain Gore Death Productions is releasing it.
Ache and Impulse
builds from a migraine headache’s four stages. We become ensnared in
the morals of broken people (prodrome and aura). These narrow standards
stifle our instincts and gifts (headache). Yet, we can emerge from this
mental fog and embrace who we truly are (postdrome).
Anchoring
this journey is a meticulous blend of doom and post-metal, sludge, and
hardcore. Colossal riffs, spacey interludes, and triumphant resolutions
fill these tracks. Enthralling and devastating, HARVEST OF ASH pushes
the boundaries while bringing the beatdown.
This eclectic sound
is little surprise given the band’s origins. It is the culmination of
members Grahm Reynolds (bass), Mike DiTullio (drums), and Pepper Glass
(guitar and vocals) playing for decades in both East and West coast
projects. After they found themselves in Utah, they found each other.
And the experience of creating a migraine-themed album? With a wry smile, they’ll tell you that it’s been one big headache.
