Ashtorath Description

Beyond good and evil as Nietzsche would have it. Within a singular mind, Ashtorath is darkness. Mistake not its soft tones and distant hymns... It is built upon the foundation of art, poetics, and all that is gloom. Transcending mortal coils of contemporary lyrics or simple chords, trends and fashions, time and space... I set out to try something new, to keep the feel of real instruments alive while touching the experimental, to bring forth various styles: metal, classical, gothic, ambient...to meld these elements of art, music and poetry together into a darkened ethereal brew.
Ashtorath is the grim, saddened, beautiful, hideous tale of all and nothing...


The Ashtorath Rune (shown below) has several meanings. The first is the A shape... plainly this stands for Ashtorath, Originally it is a triangle which is the shape of the Earth Element/Elemental
The lines around the triangle stand for the different elements that I try to combine
Art - Music - Poetry...
The lines within the rune all join together in the very center - the void area - and stand for the different elements from which I draw the essence of creation from, etherealism, demonology, haunting sadness, Death, nature etc...
