Ashestoangels were an English horror punk six piece band hailing from Bristol, England. The band is widely recognised as "ringleaders of the U.K. 'new grave' movement,"[1] a term coined by Kerrang! Magazine to describe dark alternative rock bands, including New Years Day, DEAD! and Creeper.[2]
The band has received critical acclaim such as a nomination for Best British Newcomer at the 2015 Relentless Kerrang! Awards,[3] voted as a 2015 Best British Newcomer by Rock Sound,[4] and named “One of 12 Bands You Need to Know” for January 2016 by Alternative Press.[5]

Influences and work with William Control
[edit | edit source]The band cite; Kill Hannah, William Control, and Aiden as shared influences among all members. They recorded albums Horror Cult (2014) and How To Bleed (2016) with Control, the former at Southampton studio The Ranch, for which they flew the producer to the UK with money raised via a fan-supported Indiegogo campaign;[15] and the latter at Control's own Hell's Half Acre studios in Seattle.[16] They would also go on to support Aiden's farewell tours in the US (2015) and UK (2016).
The name "Ashestoangels" is derived from Ashes to Ashes.[17] Vocalist Adam Crilly says that David Bowie was among his earliest musical influences.[18]
