CLARET ASH are a progressive black metal band based in Canberra, Australia. While citing black/extreme metal acts such as WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, ULVER and ENSLAVED as major influences, CLARET ASH have incorporated blackened-death elements, reminiscent of late BEHEMOTH, DARK FORTRESS, and THE GREAT OLD ONES.

CLARET ASH focus on bringing to life the violence and intensity of change, of the shifting seasons, and of the turmoil of human emotion. This is reflected in the aggressive musicianship that showcases faster, more extreme drumming, a more brutal, dissonant guitar sound and a truly haunting and unique vocal range.

The band's leader, James Edmeades, says about the album: "What is in essence a double album (Containing both Fragment One and Fragment two digitally and on Vinyl). This album brings together the concept of a world torn, exploring the great divide between humans and nature and the inevitable collapse. Exploring the journey of life, the realization of our impact on nature and our shifting focus through technology, the violence and intensity grows song by song. The later tracks recognize the compassion some individuals hold and the quest for change that some embark on, but ultimately the masses will be caught in the divide and feel the wrath of nature's retort. Each song stands on its own but together serves as the warning of our devolution. This is your invitation into the world of The Great Adjudication. Do you dare to commit to the world, read the lyrics and focus on the music as it rips you apart, leaving you a shell of your former self?"

The album will be interesting for the fans Wolves in the Throne Room, Enslaved, Der Weg Einer Freiheit.
