Ashes to Ashes

Ashes to Ashes was formed in 1992 by Michael Stenberg (guitar), Björn Luna (bass), Kristian Johansen (drums) and T. Foshaug AKA Strange Gentle (vocals). The band's first recordings were 4 songs made in October of the same year, and with 2 more tracks recorded in December 1993, the band released its first demo shortly afterwards; "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea". Two of the songs; "Castle in the air" and "Cat's eye" (Sacrilege), were rearranged and rewritten, and later appeared on Shapes of Spirits. In February 1995, the band entered the studio again to record its second demo; "Temples of Ice". The demo consisted of 3 tracks. Two of the tracks more or less appeared on Shapes of Spirits.
