[edit] History

Silver Ash was produced by the Gorgeous Devil Studio and Scream Records from 2000-2005. In 2005, due to disagreements concerning the government and their music (which resulted in restrictions being placed on them), they chose to leave Scream Records and were without a record label (and still are). Due to personal reasons, some of the Silver Ash members were forced to leave the band. Guitarist Lucy was replaced by Yue. After much deliberation, Hong had to leave the band and was replaced by new bassist Yu.

Silver Ash have been facing a lot of difficulties. Other band members had left Silver Ash temporarily to pursue their careers, leaving only Ling for a short period of time. They were also scheduled to tour the US in 2003-2004, but those were cancelled due to the SARS scare. It was last heard that they were still without a record label, as well, but were given various offers from Japanese record labels, such as Avex Trax. They were previously signed to Toshiba-EMI, but were released from the contract again due to government problems.

In the most latest news, Silver Ash held a live on August 30th with Japanese band, La`Cryma Christi, particularly to be viewed by the record label SWEET-CHILD.
