Progressive Metalcore | Neenah, WI

Bio:
When I joined the band, I was very reluctant. I gave up on trying to make music, but my best friend of 20 years Andy (our bassist) spent weeks convincing me to pick up the keys and just give it a shot. Looking back on it now, I can't believe I almost decided not to do this. Ashes of Alexis is named after our vocalist Rob's girlfriend, who killed herself two years ago. Our first release Catharsis is based on that, and loosely on the five stages of grief. Our second release Neurosis is more revolved around the aftermath of loss, the acceptance of mental illness and striving to form one's own identity again. This band has given me more sense of meaning than anything else in my entire life, and we all perservere in the pursuit of creating music that takes risks and stands out from the pack. We are all incredibly passionate about this, and I believe it is because we all have had losses in the past, and never thought we would have a chance to do something like this again. Not enough bands these days have authentic depth and meaning behind their madness, and the reason I almost didn't join was because I'd rather give up the dream than create something hollow and meaningless. However, being in Ashes of Alexis has resurrected my fire and we are charting a pathway of domination for the sake of perservering through an insane world.
