ASHENT was formed in 2001 by two italian brothers, Gianpaolo and Onofrio Falanga who play bass and guitar respectively.
After few months, the keyboards player Paolo Torresani, the singer Max Zhena, the guitar player Thomas Giro and the drummer J.C. joined the band.
The guys worked extensively during the first couple of years, developing a personal style which synthesized a fresh blend of progressive metal with modern day thrash&death. Their music features huge riffs, characterized by aggression and various tempo changes. The themes developed in the lyrics reveal personal reflections of the bands views on the human condition and future of mankind.
ASHENTS vision was brought to fruition on the four tracks of their first demo CD that bears their name. The CD, which they produced themselves, was recorded during February of 2003 at the famous New Sin Studio where veteran engineer/producer Luigi Stefanini supervised the recording and mastering.
The band received rave reviews, the critics gave the CD fantastic reception and praise: "Ashent" was named demo of the month and was awarded excellent ratings by dozens of magazines and web-zine throughout Italy and Europe.
After some excellent live performances, a change of musicians gave to the band the best line-up possible in order to sign in the 2005 a contract with the veteran Italian label Lucretia Records(Angra, Time Machine, Vanden Plas...).
With the eclectic drummer Davide Buso, the virtuoso guitar player Cristiano Bergamo and the amazing american singer Steve Braun, Ashent started to compose their debut album.
In December of 2005 the band went to Rome to record the drums at Outer Sound Studio, under the supervision of Giuseppe Orlando & Massimiliano Pagliuso of the band Novembre. The remainder of their first official album "FLAWS OF ELATION" was recorded at New Sin Studio during February of 2006 and was mixed and mastered by Luigi Stefanini.
"Flaws of Elation" is the first ASHENT's jewel, an example of refined prog-metal with techno-thrash influences that was extraordinarily well composed, played and produced. Ten songs with an original mixture of energy, impact, catchy melodies and shredding arrangements, that demonstrated the high level of ASHENT’s personality as composers and musicians.
In just a few months the album sold out and received fantastic reception and praise, giving to the band a solid fan-base and an extraordinary reaction from the critics.
The secret of the band is, of course, a great line-up constructed with the right balance between experience, ambition, fresh-songwriting abilities and solid live performances.
After a year and a half spent supporting the release of the first album, Ashent decided it was time to push themselves to compose new material. During 2008 the band came back at New Sin Studio and recorded the "Flaws of Elation"'s successor, entitled “Deconstructive”: a prog experience with many contaminations and a maturity of song writing that can only be classified as Ashent.
Produced by Falanga brothers and Luigi Stefanini, the 12 tracks will be released worldwide in March 20th 2009 by Lion Music, the Finnish label unanimously considered as a leading force within progressive and power metal circles!
Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.
Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.
Doom will never die, DOOMRAISER too! Dopo l’uscita del secondo album Erasing the Remembrance ed il successivo tour europeo ed alcuni festival, annunciamo con molto dispiacere la decisione di Valerio di lasciare la band. Molestius preferisce continuare concentrandosi su altri progetti e sulla propria vita privata. Gli auguriamo tutto il bene possibile, perché nel corso del tempo è stato parte integrante dei DOOMRAISER, un fratello e un grande chitarrista. Che ha contribuito a rendere questa realtà ciò che è oggi.
Tuttavia, per una porta che si chiude, ce n’è un’altra che si apre. È con grande piacere che annunciamo l’entrata nella band di Willer. Da sempre sesto uomo della band, già conosciuto per la precedente esperienza nei Grimness e per il progetto Black Land che porta avanti da anni. Le prove con lui ci hanno meravigliato ed il feeling nel gruppo è scattato subito. Il suo talento alla chitarra contribuirà a dare una nuova dimensione, ancora più oscura e acida, al suono degli heavy drunken doomster.
La prima esibizione con Willer è fissata per il 21 novembre al Sinister Noise Club di Roma: occasione speciale perché festeggeremo il compleanno di uno dei locali più importanti della scena rock underground italiana e estera.
Stay tuned… and slower, harder, drunker!
Doom will never die, DOOMRAISER too! As one door closes, another opens. Valerio has decided to leave the band; he wants to concentrate more on his other projects. We all wish Valerio the best of luck with his new vocation. He was, and remains, a formidable guitarist and was an integral part of DOOMRAISER.
However, it is with great pleasure that DOOMRAISER announce that Valerio’s replacement is to be none other than our good friend and brother, the fearsomely talented musician Willer

Also features a 75 minute bonus disc "Sectioned : Nonimxs", including 9 remixes of selected Section 27 artists by Nonima and 2 original tracks created by Silent Snow and Nina Kardec using existing Nonima tracks.
