In a world on fire, where the powerful tighten their grip and the voices of the forgotten are buried beneath the weight of greed, “Dust to Gold” emerges as a battle cry for the unheard. This album is an anthem of resilience, a rebellion set to rhythm, and a testament to the unbreakable spirit of those who refuse to be silenced.  

Blending raw, evocative lyricism with anthemic melodies, “Dust to Gold” captures the defiance of a generation that rises from the ashes, turning oppression into power, and despair into a movement. From haunting ballads of lost freedoms to electrifying anthems of resistance, each track pulses with the energy of revolution.  

This is more than music—it’s a reckoning. The city is burning, the echoes may fade, but the fire in the forgotten will never die.


Dust to Gold (The Rebellion Editon)


If you’ve been itching for something raw, visceral, and unapologetically aggressive, "Retaliate" by 5 Ash Kills is your next sonic fix. From the first crushing riff, the track grips you with a thrashy, almost punk-infused intensity that channels the chaotic energy of early Power Trip and the DIY ethos of bands like Nails and Trash Talk.

There’s a controlled chaos to the song—tight, punchy drums and razor-sharp guitars create a wall of sound that leans into the aesthetics of Code Orange and Gulch, but without losing its own identity. Vocally, there's a snarling grit that fans of Turnstile (in their earlier, heavier era) or even Converge will appreciate—raw, unfiltered, and bleeding with emotion.

What really sets "Retaliate" apart is its commitment to the underground sound. It's not overproduced, it's not polished—it’s loud, fast, and real. There's an edge here that feels like it came straight from a sweaty basement show, not a studio boardroom.

If you're into:

Knocked Loose
Jesus Piece
Scowl
Regional Justice Center
...then 5 Ash Kills is a name you’ll want on your radar. Retaliate is more than just a track—it’s a warning shot.

Retaliate 1 of 4 double A Sides being released soon. These 8 songs deserve to be heard and will be released on a commemorative cassette release this summer.

Retaliate

In Spite of the Night” is an anthem for the outcasts — the ones who were silenced, doubted, and cast aside, yet still found the strength to rise. This song is a declaration of defiance against the weight of darkness, a reminder that scars can become strength, and that even in the fire, your voice matters.

With every lyric, it speaks to those who’ve been called too much, too different, or too broken. It’s for anyone who’s carried their truth like a crown of thorns, who’s been told to bow but chose instead to stand tall.

This is not just music — it’s a vow: I will not break for you. I am the storm that learns to sing. In spite of the night.

To every dreamer, rebel, heretic, and survivor — this song belongs to you. Let it remind you that your fire does not destroy you, it lights the way

5 Ash Kills – No Compromise. No Mercy. Just Metal.
Forged from British grit and Finnish fire, 5 Ash Kills stands as one of the UK underground’s fiercest metal forces. The Kent/Sussex trio delivers a sound that’s raw, relentless, and razor-sharp—fusing the speed and aggression of thrash with the darkness of black metal and the weight of groove.
With their explosive double A-side singles collection Retaliate and the crushing new single Splintered, 5 Ash Kills have carved a sound unmistakably their own: bone-breaking riffs, precision drumming, and unfiltered aggression rooted in the legacy of true metal.
This is music that hits hard and means every word—no trends, no pretense, just pure, soul-ripping intensity.
Their live shows are a full-scale assault: loud, fast, and impossible to ignore. Each performance is an eruption of energy and chaos shared between the band and those who bleed metal.
With new music and major live appearances locked in for 2026, 5 Ash Kills are rising higher, hitting harder, and pushing metal’s limits even further.
For fans of Slayer, Testament, Lamb of God, Sepultura, and Pantera, this is metal done the way it was meant to be—uncompromising, ferocious, and alive.
