Derek WillmanPast members Billy Davis, Ryan Teetzen From Ashes Rise is an American hardcore punk band, formed in Nashville, Tennessee in the mid-'90s. They helped define the gloom-heavy thrash sound attributed to groups like His Hero is Gone and Tragedy. Along with Tragedy, the group then relocated to Portland, Oregon.
Representative of a staunchly underground breed of aggressive, basement punk, but with a down-tuned heavy sound, the band released two 7" EP's ("Fragments of a Fallen Sky", Clean Plate Records, 1998, and "Life And Death", Partners In Crime, 1999) before releasing two 12" EPs (Concrete And Steel 12", Silence 12") on the then unnamed Feral Ward Records- formerly The Great American Steak Religion. After the recording of the songs for a split 12" with Sweden's Victims, the band signed with Jade Tree, and began writing the songs that would make up the Nightmares LP. Drawing on obscure hardcore bands from Scandinavia and Japan, Discharge's venerated D-beat, and crust punk From Ashes Rise helped bring an aggressive sound to Jade Tree. The band split up in Fall 2005 after doing a tour with the legendary UK band, the Subhumans.
On October 12, 2009 a reunion show at the Satyricon in Portland, OR for February 21, 2010 was announced via the band's MySpace blog.[1] Following this concert and the release of "Live Hell" in March, the band subsequently became active once again, playing shows in Montreal, QC, Baltimore, MD, and the Punk Illegal Festival in Munkedal, Sweden.
In numerous interviews in early 2010 members of the band hinted that there would be new material recorded.
