ASHES dIVIDE - The Stone

[@Chubzdoomer]

I've never understood how a song this good managed to slip by so many people, and remains so unnoticed to this day.

[@grizzly_city9319]

I agree!

[@mathaeis]

I'm a huge Tool and APC fan and a random person suggested this band the other day. I can't believe I missed this, I love it!

[@G00berella]

I'm ashamed to admit that I just heard this song for the first time.

[@MarkusReese]

I managed to catch one of their live shows :-) Small club venue too which made it real awesome.

[@BookieBrewster]

mathaeis singer is guitarist for APC if you didn't know

[@spikedleatherworks]

It is Billy's compositions that really make me love APC... and he is obviously no slouch here either. People may argue all day long about Maynard singing better, but to me Maynard's voice is just the pretty icing atop a big beautiful layered cake that Billy baked up.

[@amichaelthomas83]

When they get back together it will be gold.. wait they have and album is out in a few months yay.

[@Ruderalus]

Blasphemy

[@ragnarokxg2113]

@@Ruderalus dude I tricked my best bud with this song. He thought it was APC new album and when I told him it was just Billy he tripped out. Dude sounds just like Maynard.

[@mr.redknife365]

TRUTH✊🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@spikedleatherworks]

@Sam Avery so Maynard writes all the guitar chord progressions and melodies??? Or the bass? Or the drums? Vocals are only one piece of the pie that makes a great song. Maynard is a master of his craft, but that doesn’t mean the other people in his bands are all slouches.

[@AutobotAl]

This album is criminally underrated.

[@uphillbothways2287]

I remember when this album came out, I was so excited to see Billy frontman his own project. Here we are 15 years later, & I'm still just as excited. This album's solid af & the fact that so many people just happened to 'miss it' shows how many 'fans' are all about that image rather than the actual talent. Don't get me wrong; Maynard's as talented as they come, BUT, so is Billy, & the fact that the majority of APC & TOOL fans just didn't notice this is a tragedy. So much good stuff going on here.

[@michaelcawcutt5980]

agreed. missed opportunity for the community.

[@the406seadonkey6]

Well said.

[@T00lfr34k]

I bought it as soon as it came out, i was super excited. great album

[@stephaniecarlson1068]

This band deserves more love.

[@nocturnalrecluse1216]

What's even crazier is that these guys are between tool, a perfect circle and other great bands and masterpieces. Musical God's in my opinion.

[@chuckburgundy]

I still love this song and album, it's criminally underrated.

[@Brandon84J]

I have an APC tattoo on my arm, and it's been there for maybe 23 years or so. I know APC is Billy's band, and I wish we could hear more ASHES dIVIDE in 2024

[@LocalCryptidGhostdoll]

Cant believe I slept on Ashes Divide for so long Love this band

[@amanuelamanuel]

I found out about Ashes maybe 8 years ago. I was still too blinded by Tool, APC and Puscifer to apreciate this or ever give it an honest chance. This is like an other dimension of APC.

[@ragnarokxg2113]

It was supposed to be an APC album before they broke up. And Billy just said fuck it and created a new band and released an album with these songs. Dude sounds just like Maynard, and I just include this band in my Tool, APC playlists.

[@kamenanew9867]

Yeah, this is basically a 'lost' apc album lol, at least that's how I present it to folks that aren't familiar at first

[@kiabee5855]

Same here💕

[@illegalmex5560]

Still listening in 2022 cause this band shouldn't have been forgotten,

[@ztmusic2789]

I remember when this played on a now-defunct rock station when I was really young. I’ve now finally experienced a point in my childhood where I have found an underrated gem.

[@chrono050]

Love Billy's Ashes Divide album always wanted another his new album is not "Ashes Divide" it's a solo project it's cool. I like this album better though

[@joeb6137]

This song reminds me of my mother. I don't want to give a sob story or anything but she died a week ago and she was a huge tool/pusifer/apc fan and she like picked this album up like the week it came out and just played it on repeat. I haven't heard it in awhile but like this song is pretty meaningful to me and like it's really really good.

Billy Howerdel has a unique way of playing but he can play a note and stretch the imagination with it. He's amazing!

[@lxxvx]

This band is too underrated. Tough times in my life atm, and this just feels so great.

[@PostMesmeric]

+J. Al. Jones +Pirate Grau He's one of them. The harmonies between Billy and Maynard are superb.

[@pirategrau6708]

***** I thjnk this guy is the core of APC because I don't like Tool. He brought us the best of Maynard.

[@ianvader0000]

+Pirate Grau i just came to check out this band. They are pretty damn good. Not a huge fan of the singer though.

[@michaelmcnamara4408]

+Pirate Grau He and Maynard harmonize well too

[@PhillAndersonGuitarist]

The chorus in this song is so powerful.

[@francoisft]

The heart of A Perfect Circle being released in such wonderful music!!!

[@NewRock001]

Strangely enough this is the song that got me more into rock/alternative music. Remember hearing it on TV when I was 12 and was instantly captivated.

[@christorianmetaphorm8156]

man.. I want more from BILLY!!! I love APC.. Maynard of course gets the spotlight for anything he deos... Billy is a freaking genius... He needs more love... Power to BILLY HOWARDELL!!! show them more of what you can do... and how you dont "need" maynard to make good music

[@MrZombiemarshmallow]

Its like 2008 is smacking me in the face right now, and I couldn't be happier about it.

[@Terf1988]

True, one of my earliest memories of KZbin. :)

[@stuffyoualreadyknew2013]

Please come back. A Perfect Circle and Ashes Divide disappeared. That's no good.

Omg I still love this song so much. Can’t believe a lot of people and music stations let this song fade away. It is a very damn good song. I remember the first day this video came out idk how many times I replayed I listened to it a shit load of times. It’s one of those songs that just hit hard and takes you on a journey that music these days just doesn’t do at all. This song will forever be a hidden Gem for us grateful few that know about it. 🤘🏽

[@broDmendoza]

I'm glad Spotify matched me with this song. I played it so many times last year upon discovery that it made my "year in review top 100" ❤️

[@silver4067]

Check out the rest of the album if you haven't already. It's a masterpiece

[@Serdibert]

I'm listening in 2019

[@alanstephens7022]

Only just discovered them... So far so good. A bit commercially aimed at a particular audience as watered down metal for the masses. I could go on and on about commercial, artificially created sub-cultures, but I don’t want any flames. Saying all that, I really do like their sound, have subscribed and am about to listen to their stuff for a while. In other words, Me; I’m listening in 2018 :-)

[@lalettricesolitaria]

Just discovered this album as a suggestion on Spotify while I was listening to APC new album! :O How could I have missed this music?

This brings back weird memories, but hits harder knowing it's 11 years young and still as good.

How is this song not more popular? Holy shit AD is underrated!! I forgot to add that this song also reminds me of the movie POWDER!!!! Watch it and agree with me!! So sad that this band never saw big success when the production values are just as good as any other big band!!! I just can't give up on them!!!

[@9897431]

i started binging apc because of sessanta and this popped up like OMG this is great!! I cant believe I didnt find it 14 years ago. I bet it still sounds great live

[@waynefilkins8394]

I just realized one of the guitar sounds is just like in the song PET by APC. Never realized it before. I mean it's not surprising since it's the same guy but still it's odd I just now caught it. That's prolly why I liked this song so much the first time I heard it lol.

[@Miss_sav-e3e]

here's to you Billy.... thanks for coming out and hanging with us at the gates in Pittsburgh,Cincinnati and Connecticut. I'm sure you don't remember me and my friends but your words of encouragement and understanding as well as not passing judgement my friend. I am praying that you see this msg some how, because I mess you to know that your work does make a difference in the world. I am still fighting the battle but have gained inner peace, so many of us have had our eyes opened after listening to your albums.apc as well. keep rocking out Billy and thank you once again for helping me through some dark times. and if you need an extra hand while on tour. I could really use the job lol just had another girl

[@brendenmoore5513]

I first saw this video when I was diagnosed with Bipolar/ Depression and had almost zero (healthy) support systems at the time. I felt strung up like Billy, I felt like I lost control of my own emotions and that I was just on a one way track to whatever was at the end of the line. All while being surrounded and driven through a crowd of other seemingly looking happy people in their perfect looking lives.

//Coughs. - Since we -are- bragging on who saw this when we were the youngest, I was 10. I went to go see them live with my mother in Albany, NY. I'm 14 now, but I must say he's a rather tall person. I listen to the CD everyday before I go to bed, can't believe it's been 4-5ish years since this came out.

I forgot about this song! Was looking up a musical festival line up I went to 20 years ago and seen them on the list and brought me here. Gosh this song was killer.

[@stupendoushorrendous8258]

Billy is just the best guitarist ever. He's the only guitarist I'd ever listen to an entire album of ONLY guitar from (shame he hasn't done one). The man has two voices, one from inside his body and another from the strings he plucks, and both are gorgeous.

[@philyates7670]

I love the tone of Billy's guitar, it's so rich and full and yet it sings both with beauty and vitriol. He has such a fantastic sound to his playing.

[@CosminPerisan]

The solo from 1:25 is killer.

Idk if Ashes Divide is still around. They were a side project of Billy Howerdel and friends whose OTHER project was A Perfect Circle. I think Ashes Divide was a one hit enterprise. Meaning entirely too temporary. They were damn good. And never got the recognition that I think they shouldve.

[@bertrandguezdp]

Anyone noticed how the bridge at 2:37 sounds very much like Korn? From David Silveria’s typical percussion signature (think “Shoot and Ladders”) to the classic half step up-up-down chord progression (think “Trash”) with a a second guitar adding some dissonance. I’m surprised no one ever mentioned it before! :)
