Last week From Ashes Rise uploaded a photo to their Facebook account of a calendar with four dates marked. The first is a show with Tragedy at The Know in Seattle on January 7 but then at the end they have the 28 - 30 marked down as recording. These sessions mark the first studio sessions for the band since their 2009 reunion and first studio release since 2003's Nightmares LP, though they did release the Live Hell live album in early 2010.

Formed in Nashville in the mid-'90s, From Ashes Rise helped define the gloom-heavy thrash sound attributed to groups like His Hero is Gone, Systral and Tragedy. Along with Tragedy, the group then packed up the noise and relocated it in Portland where the sound was allowed to fester under the grey, Pacific Northwestern clime. Drawing on obscure thrash bands from Scandinavia and Japan, as well as Discharge's venerated "D-beat," From Ashes Rise are representative of a staunchly underground breed of aggressive, basement punk.
