“Where Serenity Prevails” is our debut EP about the destruction of humanity and the Earth after it. The EP features acoustic sections and clean vocals as well as distorted sections and harsh vocals, polyphonic vocal harmonies and shifting time signatures. Jazz influences and breakdowns that break the traditional moulds bring additional flavours. From start to finish, the EP has an immersive atmosphere that creates strong images. During the composition process, our biggest musical influences were Gojira, Alcest and especially Opeth. The story was inspired by Studio Ghibli films. We highly recommend this EP for fans of progressive death metal and post-metal as well as fans of the bands mentioned above. And for all those who like a rough and authentic production, the EP was recorded, mixed and mastered by the band.

Biography:
Ashes In The Fall is a Finnish progressive death metal/post-metal band. During the band’s 6 years of existence it has gone through numerous changes in personnel, with the current roster consisting of:

Touko Kaihola – drums, percussion, backing vocals

Samuel Routama – lead vocals, samples

Anton Valros – bass, backing vocals

Simon Valros – guitars

Jennifer Evans – keyboards, samples, backing vocals, percussion

The band takes influences from many different sources, with our biggest influences probably being Opeth, Mastodon, Insomnium, Ulver, Neurosis, Alcest and Gojira. We also take influences from music outside the metal genre, such as jazz, folk, progressive rock and hardcore punk to name a few.

After laying dormant for a long time, Ashes In The Fall have finally started to pick up their pace, with the EP “Where Serenity Prevails” being scheduled for release in this spring on Inverse Records. The EP’s lead single “Dusk of Mankind” will be released to the public on January 30th 2025. With the release of this new material, Ashes In The Fall will also be playing even more live shows, with an upcoming highlight in the band’s career being a performance at Tuska on the KVLT stage in June 2025.
