Frost Like Ashes is a Christian black metal band that formed in Kansas City, Missouri in 2001. Two of the band members, Azahel and Adonijah, were former members of a band called Possession. Frost Like Ashes was formed on the vision of guitarist, Sebat, who would recruit Azahel (Vocals) and Syntyche (Bass) in 2001 and begin what has become an underground juggernaut hybrid of Black/Death Metal. Adonijah (drums), Qoheleth (keyboards) completed the group and they released their first EP on SoTD Records in 2003. They were able to get on the bill for Freakshow 13 in Las Vegas, performing alongside such bands as Stavesacre and Mortal Treason. In 2004, The band parted ways with Syntyche and acquired the skills of new bassist, Ruach.
In 2005, after some frustrating delays, Frost Like Ashes first full-length CD, Tophet, was finally released. The recording has received many positive reviews and has helped Frost Like Ashes gain more popularity and notoriety.
In the Spring and Summer of 2006, Frost Like Ashes performed in Omaha with Grave Storm and Epicurean, and in Minnesota with Crimson Thorn, Becoming the Archetype, and Crimson Moonlight.
As of 2006, Frost Like Ashes have begun working on the next full-length CD (title not yet released), a full-length album of cover tunes entitled "Covered in Frost" and will be releasing a live "bootleg" style DVD (shot at the 2006 Omaha show) in late Summer/Fall.
