Биография

A three-piece atmospheric/melodic death-doom band from North Carolina, Atten Ash is the creation of founding member James Greene who wrote the foundations of the songs which would later become “The Hourglass.” He sought to create something heavier and more colorful with attention to nuance and emotion. Being a multi-instrumentalist, James was able to record the foundations of the songs, giving a clear picture of the powerful nature of the music. James was joined by Daylight Dies founder/guitarist Barre Gambling and vocalist/guitarist of Legion of the Hunt in 2011. "The Hourglass" was completed in 2012 and released digitally by the band, but the album remained in obscurity. In 2015, "The Hourglass" was released on physical format for the first time through Hypnotic Dirge Records on digipack CD format. A special limited split 7" vinyl with Australian doomsters Lycanthia was also released on January 22, 2015. Rich in atmosphere, swaying through infectious melodies and razorsharp solos while displaying both melancholy and aggression with conviction and force, “The Hourglass” is the result of a band with considerable maturity and experience, already at the top of their craft, and with a defined vision for their sound placing them among the classic death-doom giants of the genre. For fans of Daylight Dies, Slumber, Katatonia, Woccon, Doom:vs, October Tide, and Helevorn, etc.
