Syracuse, NY has consistently been a home to metal and hardcore, and AZSHARA are carrying that legacy. Formed in 2023, the band released their demo through Ephyra that fall and then releases a remixed and remastered version on DAZE earlier this year. Now AZSHARA announce their first true EP, Ashen Skies, set for release on March 21st. Recorded with Chaz Torok at The Source (Balmora, Wreckage) in New Haven, CT, the five tracks deliver a crushing and forlorn blend of blackened metalcore.

Single “Thorns,” out now centers on blistering riffs and a menacing dual vocal attack from Collin Flynn and Kidnapped’s Dan Violence. The sound balances between demonic and dynamic, drawing influence from acts like Undying and Dissection.

You can stream “Thorns” HERE and preorder Ashen Skies EP through DAZE, Rough Trade, and local record stores.

AZSHARA will join Torture, Balmora, Sanction, and Final Resting Place on the DAZE U.S. tour this April. Dates below.

AZSHARA is Collin Flynn – Vocals, Paul Lares – Guitar, Nate Martin – Guitar, David Tellez – Drums, and Victor Runeare – Bass,
