SOUTH OF HEAVEN WITH ASHES REIGN, FOUR THIRTY FOUR, & VARA ALTA

Ashes Reign is a melodic metal band from Central Virginia delivering a powerful blend of traditional metal with modern appeal. After releasing their debut EP, "Mountain Echoes" in 2022, they quickly followed up the following year with their thrashy reimagining of the classic Rolling Stones masterpiece, "Paint it Black", entitled, "Paint it Thrash".

The band signed with independent label Affiant Records (Dallas, TX) in mid-2023 and have been working on their debut EP with Chris Dawson of Aphotic Studios (Kansas). Their newest release 'My Final Plea' continues to delve deep into interpersonal conflict lyrically while the band relentlessly enforces the subject matter sonically.
