“It is a punishingly heavy experience, both emotionally and in the weight of its decibels.” – No Clean Singing

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«.

»Castaway« is a story in five parts. It’s about a “castaway” “embracing” “shine,” through a “constellation” “of beloved flame.”

It charts attempts for continued personal growth in the face of difficulties in my life over the past few years. This growth involves multiple steps, including learning to set boundaries with others to avoid negative or toxic influences in my life (castaway), moving beyond the expectations and standards of others (embracing), recognizing my worth and abilities (shine), finding people for support (constellation), and ultimately coming to a place of “amor fati,” or love of fate, where I embrace the flame of life, good and bad, in the best way that I can live it (flame). Not wishing for life to be easier or different, but living it in the way that I have to live it authentically, being true to who I am.

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.
