Once in a great while a metal band stands apart from the rest… a band who carves out their own brand of music without following the new trend of the day. FromTheAshes is that band. FromTheAshes is based out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL and consists of members, Matthew Wilkof (vocals, lead guitar), Angel Hernandez, (drums), and Das Haas (bass). The band’s current line-up was finalized in the summer of 2004 and has been going strong ever since. With countless shows played, two EP’s under their belts (and a full length recently released), radio airplay, and a growing fan base; From The Ashes is gaining recognition and respect amongst their peers in the music industry worldwide.
The band has been featured on numerous radio shows such as Denver Colorado’s KBPI, XM Radio’s Unsigned Bands and Mayhem & Rage Radio from Florida. FromTheAshes has recently recorded a full length CD at Bieler Brother’s Records (Skindred, Non-Point) in Sunrise FL. The long awaited full length was produced by FromTheAshes and Matt LaPlant (Non-Point, Sikth). The music is comprised of aggressive complex guitar work, thought provoking lyrics, awe inspiring drumming, powerful vocals and cohesive songwriting wrapped up into one unique package. Each band member contributes his own style into the music which in turn, breeds an unmistakably original musical creation.
FromTheAshes live show is a force to be reckoned with. Arena ready, From The Ashes pours all of their energy and aggression and musical prowess into a wall of kinetic energy. Angel’s drumming is dead on, Haas’s bass lines are tight and powerful, Matt’s vocals are earth shattering and coupled with blistering guitar work he forces the crowd into the FTA onslaught. Put all of that together with constant movement on stage and you have the FromTheAshes live show…Excitement…Energetic…and Flawless.
