Biography

Three Windsor high school classmates consisting of Gray, Preney, and an unnamed vocalist sought out to start a band. They found their drummer in Paul Doman and created the band Knematic. After two separate incidents forced Gray and the former vocalist to leave the band, the band was left with a void. Ashes of Soma found their bassist in between the incidents, and Gray later happily rejoined the band as the new vocalist. After a couple of years of developing their sound, they recorded their first record, ''Exit 674''. The first single released was "Emancipate". The band is working with record producer David Bendeth (known for his work with Breaking Benjamin and Killswitch Engage) as they record their second album. They have toured in the US and Canada with Candlebox,
