Pennsylvania forged metal with elements of thrash, groove, hardcore and more, topped with melodic, aggressive vocals.
FROM THESE ASHES began creating their versatile mixture of aggressive, melodic sound in July 2003. Not content with their past musical directions, the members brought together years of experience writing, touring & recording in the common goal of crafting hard edged music that would connect with the public on a primitive and streetwise, yet personal & intellectual level. Drawing influence from the past four decades worth of various genres, the band's material showcased strong musicianship and technical songwriting, entertaining concert attendees and club patrons hungry for something fresh and original. The band's work ethic was highly admirable. Within their first 3 years they had released 3 studio CD's and a 4th with live material. 6 weeks after forming, the band recorded their 6 song debut "Severed Wings". They then hit the road in support of the CD, playing wherever, whenever and with whomever they could. FTA suffered a set back when they lost original bassist Pat Chambers in October 2004. January 2005 saw the group back in the studio with new bassist Ben Shutter and newly added second guitarist Vinnie Calvario recording the follow up "Depending On A False Tomorrow". Keeping up their churning pace, "Scarred For Life" (the band's 3rd CD) was released in April 2006. Yet another obstacle presented itself later that month as the band dealt with the departure of longtime bassist Ben Shutter . FTA found a quick replacement in new bassist Josh Potter without missing any shows and had an even stronger resolve to write, record & tour. After nearly 2 and a half years of heavy touring up and down the East coast, from Buffalo to Philadelphia, New York to Cleveland, and many places in between, the band said goodbye to lead guitarist Vinnie Calvario in July 2008. March 2009 brought the heavy-hearted departure of founder, manager & lead singer Jason Potter. In July 2009, the band reunited for what would ultimately be the final FTA performance to date. Aaron, Jon and Josh carried on with other endeavors but the book was and has remained closed on FTA. FROM THESE ASHES entertained the live music seeking public from September 2003 to July 2009. They had a vast catalog of material which afforded them the opportunity to keep their set lists fresh for audiences. The band was fortunate enough to have shared the stage with many great bands, including major label recording artists such as Ill Nino, God Forbid, HavocHate (former members of Slayer & Testament), Dope, Suicide City (former Biohazard & Kittie members), Bleed The Sky (Nuclear Blast Records), Five Bolt Main (former members of Flaw and Darwin's Waiting Room), The Autumn Offering (Victory Records), Brand New Sin (Century Media), Dog Fashion Disco & many more. In addition to the great response FTA's albums gained live and online at such sites as MySpace, SoundClick, and PureVolume, their CD's also enjoyed airplay on Elmira NY's WNGZ 104.9, Ithaca NY's WVBR 93.5, Geneva NY's 89.7 FM, and Limestone NY's WKEG 104.7 to name a few. Thanks to the internet and appearances in select magazines like Metal Maniacs, the band gained fans not only nationwide, but worldwide.

THE BIRTH OF RAGE CD: Scarred For Life - Track: 7 - Music: From These Ashes - Lyrics:Jason Potter I keep telling myself there’s a better day Desolation’s turned my world a thousand shades of grey I can’t figure out what I did so wrong Feel I’ve lost my faith ‘cause it’s been so long I’ve become so numb from all of the pain And I ask why have you forsaken me again and again and a I can’t figure out what I did so wrong Feel I’ve lost my faith ‘cause it’s been so long I keep losing my loved ones to the cold, cruel hand of death I’m a regular at funerals a constant fear of “who’s next?” I lost my brother when I was only 8 years of age That was the death of my innocence and the birth of my rage CHORUS MY MIND GROWS TIRED MY SOUL’S WORN THROUGH FEEL I CAN’T GO ON BECAUSE OF YOU MY MIND GROWS TIRED MY SOUL’S WORN THROUGH FEAR I CAN’T GO ON IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU I’ve been reaching for it all but getting nothing in return I’d rather die with my pride than crawl someday will I burn? I lost my brother when I was only 8 years of age That was the death of my innocence and the birth of my rage CHORUS BRIDGE You, you, yeah you - It's all because of you You, you , yeah you - It's all because of you I’m still telling myself there’s a better day And I’m hoping that I’ll soon find a better way - maybe someday Won’t you tell me what I did that was so wrong? My faith’s lost forever it’s been too long Too longso long Copyright 2006 From These Ashes
