Regarding the album title and the cover artwork that was designed by drummer Van Williams, the maestro himself states: "We discussed a few ideas but once we had developed the band logo it felt right to use it as the introduction to the band along with the name as the focal point for our first album. The artwork for me reflects where each of us has been and how we are coming together from our pasts in this new endeavour."

Ashes Of Ares are:
Matt Barlow (ex-Iced Earth) – vocals
Freddie Vidales (ex-Iced Earth) – guitar & bass
Van Williams (ex-Nevermore) – drums
