Chelsea Grin's Ashes To Ashes was produced by
Chelsea Grin and
Diego Farias (Animals As Leaders, Volumes, Stray From The Path). The Salt Lake City, UT based metal band have transformed into a veritable phenomenon. Ashes to Ashes uncages a torrent of technically tight and taut metallic fury fortified by glimpses of melody and an intoxicating groove. That vision is something that Alex Koehler [vocals], Jason Richardson [lead guitar, programming], Jake Harmond [rhythm guitar], Dan Jones [rhythm guitar],
David Flinn [bass], and
Pablo Viveros [drums] discovered through tireless dedication to evolution since the band's formation in 2007.
The band is currently on the road for the full Van's Warped Tour (tour dates below).
