Disciplines of Iron Disciplines of Iron
By the will of institutional demi gods, man has forged more from iron with the intent to kill. As from a fear of survival and life itself, apparitions of death and profit loom from dormant leviathans now stirring.
StormShard StormShard
The smoking obsidian cracks, a shard of blackened grey 'neath the veil of dream weavers where all is wrought. Look deep into the black glass-like stone, for it too looks back into thee. And so the storm beckons in deep tones.
The Riddled Husk The Riddled Husk
The earth shutters in atrophy - winged metal craft survey concrete eating landscape - the organic semblance peels away, burning industries incorporate survival logic, hording vast material resources drawn from the riddled husk.
Princess of Death Princess of Death
Where ashen skies weep their greave, her dress of sloe-ebon pon tears of forever autumn, the forest beyond sways in predominant hymns 'neath the darkened sky. She watches silently the falling rain amongst verdant gardens.

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 upon the experimental, to bring forth various styles; metal, classical, industrial, ambient...to meld these elements of art, music and poetry together into a darkened ethereal brew.
The philosophy has long stood; attune instruments and equipment to wind earth and storm, and convey what the mind sees - as with careful meditation - reflecting the substance and origin of things as transparently as possible.
Ashtorath is the grim, saddened, beautiful, hideous tale of all and nothing.Contact

You have brought out the comfort and beauty of Darkness in this Masterpiece.
Excellent creation.
Darkly enchanting, Great song.
For the longest time, I knew I was missing something in my Audio Life. Now, I recognize that it was the soundscapes of Ashtorath.
Thank you.
Nice work. I've enjoyed all the pieces I've heard by you.
