Harvest Of Ash: Salt Lake City’s doom trio set to release sophomore LP on March 7th, 2025

The writing and recording of Salt Lake City’s Harvest Of Ash second full-length album was a dark time for the band. Lineup changes and injuries stopped the band for months at a time. Yet, they took all of this calamity and channeled it into a new album about confronting and overcoming chaos. What they produced is a new album, titled »Castaway«.

In »Castaway«, Harvest Of Ash has excavated the crevasses of calamity and emerged with an uncompromisingly filthy and punishing, yet skillfully crafted, work.

Lyrically, it charts a journey from self-criticism and feelings of rejection to being happy with who you are and what you have become as a person. A main theme of the work is the idea of amor fati, or love of fate. This is the notion of living life in an authentic way, embracing every decision and path taken – good and bad – as uniquely your own, that you would do everything the same way again. This makes »Castaway« a deeply personal statement about when you feel the bottom has dropped out of your life, and reclaiming value in yourself during these times.

Salt Lake City’s geography is a study of contrasts. Towering mountains, expressing power and grandeur, meet with desert emptiness – a completely flat limitlessness where barely a shrub is able to grow. Enormous and overwhelming, three-piece doom band Harvest Of Ash conjures both the magnificence of mountain ranges and the desolation of barren deserts.

Recorded and mixed by Wes Johnson at Archive Recordings, Salt Lake City, Utah, February & May 2024.
Mastered by Stephan Hawkes in North Hollywood, CA.
