Draft:Phoenix Ashes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phoenix Ashes is a band hailing from the Netherlands.

The band was founded in 2007 as a continuation of post-hardcore band out of reach.

Starting as a zeroes oriented post hardcore formation, their sound became more progressive over the years. Their signature of high energy shows and songs, where thick riffs, harmonic layered vocals, electronical elements and catchy songwriting come together, creates a fresh energetic mix loved across the globe. Phoenix Ashes have brought the house down in every venue they played. Bringing the same energy for 40 people in an attic in Indonesia, 100 people in an abandoned warehouse in Nizhny Novgorod (RU) or for 15.000 people at the liberation festival in their home country of the Netherlands.

Their live energy brought them to all corners of the world and everywhere they go, people identify with their songs about friendship, believing in yourself and standing up for what you believe in. Tens of thousands of people have seen Phoenix Ashes play live in over 150 shows all across the globe. Their reputation has landed them to open for, and play festivals with, some of their all time favorite musical heroes. This includes bands like Funeral for a friend, Enter Shikari and A Day To Remember.

In 2019 they surprised the world with a sold out, fully acoustic anniversary show. The live recording of that show successfully landed them a spot on many festivals. It would have been a new chapter in the success of the band if it were not for the global Covid-19 pandemic. The band went on a three year hiatus from the public domain although they never stopped on writing new material.


Their first official show back in the spotlight was opening the Sunday stage of the festival The Rock Circus in November 2023 where they shared the stage with Lorna Shore, Electric Callboy, Halestorm, Black Veil Brides and many other acts to entertain over 5000 of visiting metal heads.
