Claret Ash

Claret Ash sign with Casus Belli Musica / Beverina

The new album 'The Great Adjudication' of Claret Ash (Australia) will be a CD release of Casus Belli Musica and Beverina in March 2018.

The band's leader, James Edmeades, says about the album: "The thought provoking concept of humanity's interactions with nature told in 'The Cleansing' has continued with this album. Themes and imagery have expanded as new stories were developed to lead listeners on a journey to 'The Great Adjudication', the retaliation and judgement of the natural world of our trespasses against it."

Moreover, a limited vinyl edition of two mini-albums 'The Great Adjudication: Fragment One' and 'The Great Adjudication: Fragment Two' will be issued in May and August.

Claret Ash are a progressive black metal band based in Canberra, Australia. While citing black/extreme metal acts such as Wolves In The Throne Room, Ulver and Enslaved as major influences, Claret Ash have incorporated blackened-death elements, reminiscent of late Behemoth, Dark Fortress, and The Great Old Ones.

Claret Ash focus on bringing to life the violence and intensity of change, of the shifting seasons, and of the turmoil of human emotion. This is reflected in the aggressive musicianship that showcases faster, more extreme drumming, a more brutal, dissonant guitar sound and a truly haunting and unique vocal range.
