On the new signing to Out Of Line Music, singer Clem Richard shares: “We definitely weren’t expecting to get offered a contract after our first release! We are very grateful for the trust that OOL has put in us and can’t wait to keep growing together.”
On the new single ‘Outlier’, guitarist Antoine states: “‘Outlier’ is a song in which Clem opens up about his youth. At the age of 13, he was hospitalised and treated for ADHD and then diagnosed with bipolar disorder, although there never was anything wrong with him.
“This song is about an abusive drug treatment he was forced to take that was the only way to handle his scholar failure. His drug treatment, combined with his relationship with his family, gave birth to a deep feeling of loneliness. He had become an outlier. After several years, he decided to emancipate himself from these medications that changed his perception of the world and finally wanted to live without depending on anything.
Guitarist Niels continues: “The lyrics and the script of the video emphasise the isolation and stigmatisation he experienced at that time.”
Ashen‘s songwriting on ‘Outlier’ is exceptional, and their identity lies between exciting modern metal arrangements while keeping Ashen‘s own personality and the rock-influenced characteristics of their singer. Ashen have high hopes for their future, ready to hit the ground running, and are looking forward to going on their first tour as soon as they get the chance.
