From Ashes Rise is an American hardcore punk band, formed in Nashville, Tennessee, in the mid-1990s. They helped define the gloom-heavy thrash sound attributed to groups like His Hero is Gone and Tragedy by combining a dynamic, eerie open chord dissonace with a down-tuned power-chord-laden heaviness.Along with Tragedy, the group relocated to Portland, Oregon in the early 2000s.
