Ashtoreth

Ashtoreth is a solo project led by Peter Verwimp, founded in Antwerp, Belgium, in 2010. It serves as a freeform, improvised, and mystical outlet for his musical explorations, deeply rooted in ritual, ambient, and drone elements. The project emphasizes live improvisation and creating immersive, shamanic soundscapes. Ashtoreth frequently collaborates with other artists and has released notable works like the "Rites" series and a folk horror trilogy with Grey Malkin, while focusing on guitar and vocal experimentation.

Verwimp’s music invites listeners into a shifting, introspective world where each performance and recording is a unique experience shaped by the moment and energy present. His background in various bands and sound art projects informs his work, which is celebrated for its atmospheric depth and improvisational spirit.
