Music Sound

Ashtorath is a solo Canadian dark ambient band formed in 2001 by Despairialindrid aka. Despair.

While many dark ambient acts incorporate synthesizer work and or sampling into their music, Ashtorath uses just guitar and pedal effects to create atmospheric and minimalist music. This guitar only approach to creating layered ambient music has also been used by the German atmospheric drone band Maeror Tri.

The project was halted in 2003 so that bandmember Despair could create his new band, GloomScry.
