Forged in the small town of Cedaredge, Colorado, Ashes and Philth is a three-piece powerhouse blending visceral classic metal riffs with hard-hitting drums and searing vocals. Led by Ashlyn (Ash) Catalano (vocals/bass), with the father-son rhythm section of Phil Sheader (drums/screams) and Gage Sheader (guitar), the band creates a crushing sound that's as beautiful as it is brutal. From opening for acts such as Otherwise Eyes Set to Kill, Smile Empty Soul, and Primer 55 to commanding stages at Mesa Theater, Ashes and Philth are quickly proving that the Western Slope's music scene is anything but quiet.
