Brutality. Refined.

For ASCARIS, this is more than just an empty maxim. It is a statement of intent, and the foundation upon which their unique style of Extreme Metal is built. Uncompromising in both vision and vitriol, only the finest will suffice for this UK trio.

Born in 2012 out of a chance meeting between friends, and informed by a shared love of Death Metal's intricate fury and Black Metal's occult grandeur, the band have quickly risen through the ranks of the UK's burgeoning underground Extreme Metal scene.

The group offer up a punishing blend of styles, from scathing technicality through Black Metal grandeur and on into pure, heaving Death, their gentlemanly attire belying a furious musical assault. Occult themes intermingle with tracts of judgment and disdain, while frantic riffs swirl and relentless blastbeats thunder. Encompassing at once atmospheres of ancient ritual and modern aggression, the sound of ASCARIS is a monument to enlightenment through extremity.
