   About Ashtar

History   English

Ashtar's begining is quite uncertain. It all started a few years ago as the guitar player, Roemir's (Mariano) solo project. During this project was born the song "Evil Power" (Poder Maldito), included in Ashtar's EP. As time went by, the song was changing but the project was missing a singer. That's when Mariano calls Mario (Ashtar's actual singer) as an invited singer to his project (Mariano met Mario while playing hard rock in a local band called D.O.S.).
Time after Evil Power's single was edited, Mario asks Mariano to become the leader guitar player in a power metal band, called Arcangel Temple.
That was the begining of Ashtar.
Arcangel had several live performances with bands like Ian (ex Rata Blanca members), Magnos (Javier Barroso, ex singer of Lorihen), Crepar (Uruguay). It also played live as the leader band in different places. The band edits it's first homemade EP, called "Arcangel's Land" (Tierra de Arcangel).The EP was played in many local radio stations obtaining different critics, but they all pointed at the same porpouse: "The rest of the band was nothing compared to the guitar and voice".

Later on, Mario decided to leave Arcangel, leaving Mariano with the other band members. Mariano continues writing songs, but now for two different bands.
Some years later, returns to his single "Evil Power", but decided to add more than instrumental songs to the single, asking his friend Mario to be his singer. After hearing the result of the song recordings, Mariano decided to leave Arcangel instantaneously. Slowly, Roemir's solo project fades away, turning into what, in that time, got the name of "Molto Arpegiosa". Molto Arpegiosa's main idea was to do classic metal but this idea was left behind. Although, helped by the influences they created a very rare style: far away from the power metal, the classic metal, the symphonic metal, hard rock and progressive metal, but with some esential points of each one of them. They distributed the songs material to a very small group of people, but this group opened up so easily, reaching people the band would never know they would reach. After hearing the good acceptance, Mariano and Mario started recording at the Home Studio.

After finishing the logo style and when it was time to release their EP, the musicians felt a little uncomfortable about the name of the band. They made some debates and the result was the name Ashtar.
The band accepted the new name and, after remaking the band's logo, Mariano and Mario decided not to do a solo project with Ashtar, and they begun the long search for musicians with capacity to understand the compositions and band style. Soon after they started to search for musicians, they call Pablo (D.O.S.'s ex drummer) to play the drumms. Then, Mariano calls an old friend of his, Nicolas (ex Arcangel musician), to be the bass player. He's the actual bass player of Ashtar. Soon, Alejandro (Centurio's ex keyboard player) joins the band, but for a very very short time. Actually Ashtar finally found a very good keyboard player, his name is Hector Gonzalez and we..re very happy with him. Ashtar is soon releasing it's EP: "... from the shadows of abyss" and it's starting to work on it's English material, so that everyone can enjoy the result of efford and sacrifice, today put in Ashtar.

Historia   Español

El inicio de Ashtar es muy incierto. Todo comenzo hace unos cuantos años como un proyecto solista e independiente de Mariano, el guitarrista. En ese proyecto fue donde nacio "Poder Maldito" (inlcuido en el EP de Ashtar) solo como una "composicion aleatoria". A medida que paso el tiempo, la cancion fue tomando forma pero el proyecto carecia de cantante. Entonces es cuando Mariano convoca a Mario (actual cantante) como cantante invitado de su proyecto. Mariano conocio a Mario mientras cursaba el conservatorio de musica clasica y formo junto a el una banda llamada D.O.S. (Disk Operative System) en la que hacian hard rock y tiempo despues, sin Mario, trash metal. A poco tiempo de editar el single "Poder Maldito" Mario convoca a Mariano como guitarrista principal para una banda de power metal llamada Arcangel Temple. En ese entonces se puede decir que empezo a germinar la semilla de lo que hoy es Ashtar. Arcangel tubo varias presentaciones en vivo junto a bandas como IAN, MAGNOS (Javier Barroso ex Lorihen), CREPAR (Uruguay) y presentaciones como banda principal en distintos lugares. La banda logra editar un EP muy casero llamado "Tierra de arcangel" material que fue difundido por varias radios locales obteniendo diferentes criticas, pero que siempre apuntaban a lo mismo: " El resto de los musicos pasaban desapercibidos, opacados por el brillo de la guitarra y la voz".

Al tiempo Mario decide alejarse de Arcangel quedando solo de los musicos mas destacados, Mariano. Nunca abandonando la idea del proyecto solista el sigue con las composiciones, esta vez para dos bandas a la vez. Pasados pocos años, Mariano retoma lo que seria el single "Poder Maldito" pero con mucha mas sed de ambicion decide agregarle mas temas, convocando ahora como vocalista fijo a su amigo Mario. Al escuchar los resultados de las grabaciones la decision fue inmediata y casi instantanea, Mariano abandona Arcangel. De a poco el proyecto solista se desvanece, transmutandose en lo que en aquel entonces adopto el nombre de Molto Arpegiosa. La idea principal de Molto Arpegiosa siempre fue hacer metal clasico, pero esa idea nunca se siguio. Sin embargo la mezcla de influencias, logro un estilo muy poco comun: lejos del power, lejos del metal clasico, lejos del metal sinfonico, lejos del hard rock y muy lejos del metal progresivo pero con puntos esenciales de cada uno. Distribuyeron material de lo que seria el futuro de la banda en un circulo muy restringido . El circulo se rompio facilmente llegando el material a mas personas de la que nunca esperaron. La respuesta fue mas que optima. Tras la demanda de gente sedienta por obtener alguna clase de material editado de Molto Arpegiosa, Mariano y Mario se internan en el "Home Studio" para concretar lo que alguna vez habian empezado a grabar. Terminadas las graficas y llegado el momento de lanzar el EP, la incomodidad que sentian los musicos con el nombre de la banda era absoluta. Luego de varios debates y charlas, una muy buena amiga (y actual representante) llamada Veronica propone el nombre Ashtar. Muy conformes con el nombre y, posteriormente, con el resultado estetico de las graficas, Mariano y Mario deciden no hacer de Ashtar un proyecto solista y empieza la interminable busqueda de musicos que posean la expansion mental y capacidad auditiva/musical para adptarse a las composiciones y estilo de la banda. Al tiempo de comenzar la busqueda se llama a Pablo (ex baterista de D.O.S.) para que ocupe el puesto de baterista. Mariano convoca a un viejo amigo llamado Nicolas (Bajista de Arcangel) para ocupar el puesto de bajista, puesto que ocupa actualmente. Pronto se suma Alejandro (ex Centurio) a las teclas pero por un tiempo muy muy corto. Actualmente Ashtar finalmente encontro un muy buen tecladista, su nombre es Hector y estamos muy satisfechos con su trabajo en Ashtar. La banda ya esta por largar su EP "...de las sombras del abismo" y se esta empezando a trabajar lo que seria el material en ingles, para que todo el mundo pueda disfrutar del resultado del esfuerzo y el sacrificio, del sudor y la sangre convertidos hoy, en Ashtar.

hi!
iam wolfgang the guitarist of dreamscape.
we should learn to be the best persons we can be and our world will change. i try.
but it's not as easy as playing guitar in a high class band...

H. Jackson Brown:
Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.

kind regards!
