Golden Ashes is the creative auditory venture of Dutch musician Mories, also known for his other projects such as Gnaw Their Tongues and De Magia Veterum. Conceived as an atmospheric black metal entity that intertwines symphonic grandeur with a profound sense of despair and darkness, Golden Ashes delves into the themes of death, existential dread, and the mystical aspects of a fading cosmos. Mories’s signature use of layered textures, haunting vocals, and an overarching somber ambiance is prevalent throughout the project's discography.

The journey through Golden Ashes's shadow-laden soundscapes can be experienced in releases such as "Gold Are the Ashes of the Restorer" (2020), where listeners are invited to confront the transitory nature of life through a blend of crushing riffs and ephemeral melodic passages. Following this, the album "In the Lugubrious Silence of Eternal Night" (2020) offers a relentless descent into the embrace of darkness, providing a relentless soundtrack for those who dare to gaze into the abyss. In their 2021 opus, "A Lightless Christ Shuns The Crown Of Divinity," Golden Ashes continues to explore the intersections between transcendental pain and sublime beauty, securing the project's place in the pantheon of genre-defining acts that are reshaping the boundaries of black metal.
