Tennessee hardcore/thrash quartet From Ashes Rise has signed to Jade Tree Records. Here's a little bit of what Jade Tree had to say about them:
"The collective power of From Ashes Rise's blazing musical force and socio-political lyrics have resulted in a devastating aural assault that has made From Ashes Rise an unparalleled band in the scene today."
The band will begin work on their Jade Tree debut in 2003. Until then, you can download an MP3 of "Concrete And Steel" to get a feel for the band's sound.
