About Me
Forming in February of 2002, the band is comprised of five of the most diverse creators of metal. Ranging in different influences such as Death Metal, Speed & Thrash, Power Metal, Black Metal, Punk Rock, Hardcore, Glam Rock, Hip-Hop & Rap. This is the very reason this diverse and eclectic group of musicians can make such richly textured and creative music.
Based out of Tampa, Florida, this dynamically charged Metal band has a talent for churning out a steady blend of ferocious yet melodic music backed with some brutal vocals. The Band definitely has an evolved sound, going beyond just your run of the mill everyday Metal band.
In May of 2004, Left in Ashes recorded a three song EP with Musician/Producer Erik Rutan, (Hate Eternal, Alas, Ex-Morbid Angel) of Mana Recording Studio in Tampa, Florida. Know Your Enemies, My Demons, and Torn Between Two Classes were the chosen tracks for the CD. The EP received great response from fans and some really good reviews from Metal magazines such as BWBK and Metal Maniacs. Left in Ashes also released a self produced video for My demons which is can be seen on YouTube .
Left in Ashes has shared the stage with such acts as Obituary, Hate Eternal, Cryptopsy, Cattle Decapitation, Strapping Young Lad, Vital Remains, 1349, Testament, Dying Fetus, Skeletonwitch, Year of Desolation, Macabre, Soilent Green, The Absence, The Autumn Offering, A Perfect Murder, The Agony Scene, Misery Signals, Into the Moat, Reflux, Body Count, Goatwhore, Unholy Ghost, Remembering Never, Yeti, Royal Anguish, Vampire Mooose, Sleeping by the Riverside, and many others!
After over 5 years of playing shows all over Florida and the southeastern part of the country, Left in Ashes has gathered quite a large following of fans ranging from all ages and that fan base continues to grow with every show!.
In more recent news... Left in Ashes ended up parting ways with original drummer Tim Ross. He decided to call it quits after stating that he was losing interest and that he had a lot of personal issues to take care of. We wish him all the best but LIA must continue, we are not about to give up just yet!
After trying out a handful of drummers with no success we were starting to get restless and were really missing being on stage and performing. Im not sure what the popular belief is but finding the right drummer is tough as hell. 7 months later when the flame seemed to be fading out, i get an email from a friend who pointed us into the right direction. We gave Carlos a call and set up an audition. 3 sessions later, we knew we had the right guy! His skills, mindset, determination, and metal background are all i the right place... We embraced this completely!!!
Now that LIA is complete again... Prepare for the assault! Shit is going to get sick!!
Left in Ashes is poised and ready to make their presence felt!
Fire... Lightning... Reign of Terror!
