Ashes to Ashes was originally
formed in '92 by Michael Stenberg, Bjorn Luna and Kristian Johansen.
Together with singer T. Foshaug (AKA Strange Gentle), they recorded
2 sold-out demos in '92 and '94. Singer Bjorn Torbo was brought
into the realm in '95. He wrote the lyrics for "Dying Room"
which later appeared on "Shapes of Spirits," and was
the vigorous front figure during their first gigs. In '98, with
6 years of patient rehearsing and polishing, the group was ready
to present themselves. In addition to re-arranging and re-writing
older material, new tracks like, "Gabriel,""Divide
& Conquer" and "Ad Infinitum" were penned.
With the completion of these songs the band took huge steps
forward and the musical direction of the band was determined.
Ashes to Ashes had found their identity.

"This
album is definitely strong in emotions and brings a clearly
refreshing sound to today's overcrowded metal scene. I am
looking forward to hearing their third album that is supposed
to be so important for every band. One of 2002's musical
jewels. Do I have to say it is highly recommended everyone
gets this as soon as possible? If it has not already been
done of course."
