Ascension are 5 men from across the UK, united under one dream. To conquer the world, and tear down the barriers of traditional power metal. Ascension have gained respect and great success, much more recently in its current lineup including gaining a slot at Metalfest UK with Blaze Bayley, Dragonland, Elvenking, Power Quest and more! and also completely self-organising and carrying out a Full UK tour, with now very close friends, Italian Power Metal band, Broken Melody.
Ascension have been destroying venues across the UK since 2004, and now in their most powerful lineup yet, intend to invade the rest of Europe, Japan and America, and show what Scotland has to offer the world of traditional Power Metal! Ascension have gained a reputation in the live metal scene, for outrageously powerful, and energetic live performances! with each band member always putting in 150%, whether they play to 5 people or 5000, Ascension always strive to show the audience a good time, and make sure everyone from the heavy metal worshippers at the front, to the quiet fans at the bar, all feel like a part of the show!..
Our immense passion for music means nothing can stop us from achieving our goals....so draw your sword, and storm the field....make it known, that we are fearsome!

NWOBHM Book - NO SLEEP TILL SALTBURN is OUT now in paperback exclusively at lulu.com.
Featuring seminal North East UK acts, Black Rose, Battleaxe, Satan, Raven, Arizona, Holland and more. Along with Brit Metal kings Saxon and Def Leppard, this affectionate look back at the truly Golden Age Of Rock & Roll documents Mark Gregory's chaotic excursions into fanzine publication, concert promotions, band management and rock radio presentation, against the backdrop of industrial North East England in the early 80s. Here's what the critics say:
“Saltburn, Salford, Salisbury, or Southampton, if you followed any local music scene back in the day, this is a must read!” MIKE SWEENEY: ROCK RADIO - “Bloody Brilliant! Great use of pyro!” GARY PHILIPSON: TFM RADIO - “I was captivated. A really, good read”. LISA MCCORMICK: BBC TEES - “No Sleep Till Saltburn is an important book. It captures an untold story, and also gives you an insight into the humour, the 'Carry On' atmosphere of the time”. CHRIS PHIPPS: ROCK MUSIC HISTORIAN, ITV
NO SLEEP TILL SALTBURN features coverage of Satan's legendary appearances at The Dynamo Eindhoven in 1983 and you can buy it in paperback now at:
