Bio:
Ash To Dust is a local Tucson, AZ, thrash band that was formed in July 2007 by Robb Matthews. Through the years, there have been numerous changes to the band such as: new members, new names, and the location of the band.
Ash To Dust has been on hold for 3 ½ years while the members tended to their family and other life events. The passing of their guitar player, Paul Von Bargen, and Robb’s Mother Patricia was a devastating blow and almost the end of Ash To Dust.
Their first self-titled CD release was released November 2007 in a nine song demo EP. Songs included a Black Sabbath cover, “Children of the Grave” as well as Sepultura’s, “Territory.” Their first three shows were a “Battle of the Bands” in which they placed 2nd and lost by 7 votes to Animus Divine, also a local Tucson band. With those three shows, the flood gates opened and Ash To Dust were given the opportunities to open for: Testament, Sacred Reich, Flotsam and Jetsam, Exodus, Seven Witches, Obituary, Goatwhore, Warbringer, Heathen, Kittie, Evile, Bonded By Blood, Forbidden, Death Angel, Sepultura And D.R.I..
