First of all: Yes, we (or better: our provider) had some administrative problems with the website that was down for ca. 10 days, but fortunately now it's up and running again.
Now a little update on what's going on with World to Ashes before the big summerbreak: We're heavily preparing for the recordings of our debut-album, so there (unfortunately) will not be so many shows this year, because we really wanna concentrate on writing new songs for the album and for the expansion of our live-set. But we'll not completely barricade ourselves in our rehearsal-room, there'll still be some few shows this year. So if there's one near your place, make sure to catch us for a mosh. See you!

We just arrived back home from the Fear Dark Festivals in the Netherlands. We had a real great time with the guys from Fear Dark, Slechtvalk, Exhale and Thy Majestie (horns high!). Thanks again, Roy and Kim, for inviting us and for the great time!
We're really looking forward to the Beer Dark show in Stuttgart next Sunday. Make sure that you don't miss that show because great bands are playing. See you in the pit!

Just yesterday we moved to our new rehearsal-room in Waldkirch-Kollnau. We worked the whole day to turn the naked concrete-room into a nice (almost) living-room-like jam-room. It's so cool and now our songs will be at least twice better (now imagine that!;-).
Nevertheless a very big thanks goes out to Inner Strength, who shared their rehearsal-room with us, when we lost our. Thanks guys for making it possible that we could continue on!

We're proud to announce that Fear Dark has invited us again to play at their Fear Dark Festivals in Holland! Other bands besides us will be Slechtvalk, Thy Majestie and Exhale. So if you're in the area make sure to grab one of the three shows on that weekend!

Hey folks! For now it seems that 2008 is getting pretty interesting for us. Currently we're in the process of writing new material, so be sure to catch us somewhere near your town this summer!
31.Jan.2008
Again some bad news! We had to cancel the show in Neuenburg because Lorenz has an infection on his second arm... Well, that's real bad luck! But thanks to the Neuenburg guys for their flexibility! Hope we can catch that up soon.
14.Jan.2008
ll, so very likely we'll be active live again very soon!
07.Dec.2007
PLEASE VOTE FOR US at Rehvolution festival (a local festival in our area). We'd really like to play there and you can help us to do so by voting for us here. Thanks a lot, we'll see you there! :-)

Howdy Cowboys! Last wednesday I met Benny from Inner Strength and he told me that there was a review of our E.P. "Of what there is to come" in the current issue of the "Rock Hard" magazine. I've put it in the reviews-section, just for the "review-nerds" of you... ;-)
23.Nov.2007
Hey everybody, we had a great show in Rodalben two weeks ago! Thanks to Kurder, Misanthropic, Dead Sky's Opera and of course all the people who rocked the pit!
For the next two months we'll have a small winterbreak, which does not mean we're going to hibernate! Lorenz will be having the surgery on his shoulder in December and Christoph will also have a little surprise. Currently we're working a t-shirt, which will be available soon. So stay tuned.
28.Oct.2007
First we're happy to announce that the shows with Misanthropic in November will take place! Lorenz will have a surgery in the near future, but until then, he's able to play "light" shows. So you've got to overtake the moshparts for him!
Second is, that there was a review of our E.P. "Of what there is to come" in this month's issue of Legacy, Germany's finest metal-mag. You can check it out here.

Hi, sadly we have to cancel the show in Emmendingen coming saturday. Our guitarist Lorenz had an injury on his shoulder, so we can't play the show on october 13th! It would be nice, if you could go to the gig anyway to support the other Bands Inner Sanctum and Till the End. Take care.

Hey everybody! It's been a quite a while since the last update. Currently we're writing new songs and are looking forward to see as many as you at the next shows.
Make sure to catch us in November when we're doing some shows with Misanthropic! They are cool people and we're excited playing with them. If you could organize a show somehow for one of the two weekends in November, please get in touch with us! Originally we wanted to fill the whole weekend with shows, but that turned out to be a little hard with the clubs and everything. So if you've got a band and want to play a show with two bone-grinding live-proven bands :), please get in contact with us.

Our CD-Release show the last weekend was real fun! Thanks to all the people who came out and celebrated that night with us! Thanks to Descend to Rise, Sacrificium and Knowhere for coming and just moshing it down real tight!
We just wanted to let you know that our EP "Of what there is to come" is scheduled for the 07.07.2007 (come on, how cool's that now?!) at Whirlwind Records, but you can preorder it in their shop already.
I just listened to our E.P. the first time and I'm just blown away with what has come out after this long time working on this CD. It's just amazing how many people helped us and what great work they all did. Thanks everybody!

Oh yeah! We just came back from the Beer-Dark Festivals! It was such a great time with funny and cool people, great music and far to less sleep. We wanna thank Fear Dark again for inviting us and making all this possible as well as Christian, who was our driver on the tour. Allright, now we'll sleep for the next two weeks and let our necks relax a little bit... ;-)
We'll put up some photos of the Fear Dark Festivals in the next time so make sure to check back once in a while.
14.May.2007
Very much is happening at the moment. We've finally found a bassist with Sascha who already played the show in Niedereschach with us. So this is a very important step for us. He's also ready to play the FearDark-Festivals next weekend, so be sure to come to one near you and meet us there.
We also updated the website a little bit and added some nice live-pictures.

The new year is beginning great for us! We're in the process of signing a contract with a label which will bring out our E.P. "Of what there is to come" in spring / early summer.

We'll post more as soon as things are getting sure.
