HALO OF ASHES: Intertwining a hard rock essence with heavy metal grooves, Halo of Ashes' unique snarl gathers influence from a wide variety of bands, including The Doors, Alice in Chains, Skid Row and Lamb of God. Capturing a raw and powerful energy that cannot be denied, Halo of Ashes injects a much-needed dose of no-nonsense into an often plasticized musical climate. The band was originally formed in April 2009 and since solidifying a complete line-up in 2011, they have played a relentless string of gigs to an ever-increasing fanbase. Showing no signs of slowing down, Halo of Ashes landed an opening slot for legendary metal vocalist Tim Owens in June 2012 and plan to have their debut album released before 2012 comes to a close.
