In case you have been distracted, there is a new band around called Ashes Of Ares with Matt Barlow (ex-Iced Earth), Van Williams (ex-Nevermore) and Freddie Vidales (ex-Iced Earth). In theory, this could be interesting. And slowly we learn more about the project. Today the band revealed details of their upcoming debut album which will be self-titled and released via Nuclear Blast Records on September 6th as a limited CD in digipak including a bonus track as well as in two different 2LP versions. The cover artwork unveiled is also available below.

In terms of the music, the band has only released teasers so far. You can watch the last one below.

Regarding the album title and the cover artwork that was designed by drummer Van Williams, he states: "We discussed a few ideas but once we had developed the band logo it felt right to use it as the introduction to the band along with the name as the focal point for our first album. The artwork for me reflects where each of us has been and how we are coming together from our pasts in this new endeavour."




The tracklist will be the following:

01. The Messenger
02. Move The Chains
03. On Warrior's Wings
04. Punishment
05. This Is My Hell
06. Dead Man's Plight
07. Chalice Of Man
08. The Answer
09. What I Am
