On December 18, 2020, the legendary Heavy Metal duo of Matt Barlow and Freddie Vidales, will release a super limited, handcrafted 12” black vinyl EP including one brand new Ashes Of Ares song “Throne Of Iniquity” and two cover songs “25 or 6 to 4” by Chicago and “Dust In The Wind” by Kansas. For the recordings of the EP, the duo was accompanied by Kyle Taylor on drums and Ray Hunter of Bastion’s Wake on acoustic guitar on “Dust In The Wind”. “Throne of Iniquity” will be released as a limited 300 copies, handcrafted black vinyl and digital streaming download format. This EP is the predecessor of the band’s third full-length album, to follow later in 2021! “Freddie and I (Matt Barlow) would like to thank all of the folks that made the “Throne of Iniquity” EP come to life. It is our honor to have been able to work on two classic rock cover songs, from bands that helped shape music history. We are also very excited to give you a brand new AoA tune that will help introduce you to our next full length release under the amazing ROAR banner! Many thanks to all of the friends and fans who have supported our vision and our voice in the metal world!” – band comments
