Beyond good and evil as Nietzsche would have it. Within a singular mind, Ashtorath is darkness. Mistake not its soft tones and distant hymns... It is built upon the foundation of art, poetics, and all that is gloom. Transcending mortal coils of contemporary lyrics or simple chords, trends and fashions, time and space... I set out to try something new, to keep the feel of real instruments alive while touching the experimental, to bring forth various styles: metal, classical, gothic, ambient...to meld these elements of art, music and poetry together into a darkened ethereal brew.
Ashtorath is the grim, saddened, beautiful, hideous tale of all and nothing...
