Claret Ash

CLARET ASH are a progressive black metal band based in Canberra, Australia,formed in 2012. While citing black/extreme metal acts such as WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, ULVER and ENSLAVED as major influences, CLARET ASH have incorporated blackened-death elements, reminiscent of late BEHEMOTH, DARK FORTRESS, and THE GREAT OLD ONES. CLARET ASH focus on bringing to life the violence and intensity of change, of the shifting seasons, and of the turmoil of human emotion. This is reflected in the aggressive musicianship that showcases faster, more extreme drumming, a more brutal, dissonant guitar sound and a truly haunting and unique vocal range.
