World To Ashes

World to Ashes began in the beginning of 2005 with Benjamin Possinger and Lorenz Schmidt on guitars, Gernot Wegele on drums and Achim Wiedemann on the mic. Their first songs lend more towards Hardcore/Metalcore but soon they found out that their heart was more on the metal side. Given this, Gernot Wegele left the band and Achim switched to the drums. But now a singer was missing, but the gap was filled in Summer by Christoph Zacharias who made the band almost complete. In this formation the band played several regional shows. In early summer of 2006 Christian stepped up to try the bass but it turned out that his ambitions didn't match with ours, so we parted as friends. The vacancy was filled by Sascha Hornberger in Spring 2007.
Until that point World to Ashes played several shows in Germany and Switzerland with bands like Eluveitie, Endstille, Sacrificium and Crisis Never Ends.

The motivation behind World to Ashes is our passion for intense melodic music as well as the ability to present our thoughts, feelings and experiences in a form that meets their core. With our creation of art, we want to express the things we daily see and experience, the things that surround us, push us, alter us, bring us to the ground and in the end to the grave. Lyrically we mainly broach the issue of the struggles of society as well as suffering, death and dealing with all these things.
