Ashcloud started under the name Skinbag in 2005. In 2006 they recorded an EP that never got released and Skinbag was put on ice. In 2013 Jonny and Gareth started talking about writing old school death metal that draws inspiration from both the old Swedish death metal scene and the crust movement. After changing their name to Ashcloud they re-mastered the old EP and started recording new material for a full length album. This is where Ashcloud was born and the journey starts.
