History Music / AshBorer

* LongTitle: All of the songs on their self-titled, but especially the last one.

Ash Borer is a BlackMetal band, originally from Arcata, CA (they now split their time between Oregon and New Mexico). They play a particularly PostRock-inspired variant of the genre that has garnered them quite a bit of critical acclaim. The band's songs tend to be long and gloomy, with occasional female vocals thrown in and frequent {{Subdued Section}}s.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: The metal sections are generally 9-10, but they frequently dip lower for variety.

* UncommonTime: "Lacerated Spirit" has at least one section with three measures of 4/4 followed by a measure of 3/4, amounting to 15/4. A later section of the same song is in 7/8.

* AnonymousBand: While they've performed live, they only identify themselves by a single letter each. The guitarist/vocalist is known to be named Kyle Morgan, and the drummer's name is identified as Mike on Metal Archives (he's not the same Mike as the one in Music/FellVoices), but the other members' identities aren't known.

* CanonDiscontinuity: As seen above, the band's 2010 demo was excluded from their 2011 "discography" tape.

* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Most of the band's packaging is this. The band's self-titled album, when issued on LP, was mostly red and black instead. This could be a case of RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver, or a reference to anarchism (see above). ''The Irrepassable Gate'' has a sepia colour scheme.

* EpicRocking: The "Lustration" tracks are their shortest, being around four and five minutes respectively. However, they're instrumental interludes. Apart from those, their ''shortest'' song, "Rest, You Are the Lightning", still comes in at nearly eight minutes in both versions. All of their other songs last at least nine and a half minutes, with three of them nearing or topping twenty minutes.
* FadingIntoTheNextSong or SiameseTwinSongs: The two songs on side two of ''Bloodlands'' ("Dirge" and "Purgation"). The band aren't telling where the division is, but according to Adam Bartlett of Gilead Media, which released the vinyl edition, the band said they're two separate songs. Also, the first two songs on the self-titled ("In the Midst of Life, We Are in Death" and "Rest, You Are the Lightning").

** Both "Lustration" tracks on ''The Irrepassable Gate''.

* LongTitle: All of the songs on their self-titled.

* ShoutOut: "In the Midst of Life, We Are in Death" is a quote that has been around since at least 750 AD; it has been used by people such as Hartmann von Aue, Martin Luther, and Thomas Cranmer. It's commonly heard in funerals as well.

* UsefulNotes/{{Anarchism}}: The band implicitly identified as anarchists, using the tagline "Godless, Masterless, Hopeless" on their MySpace page. This has yet to make its way into their music or packaging (apart from, possibly, the red and black colour scheme of the LP version of the self-titled), however.
