Ashtorath is a solo Canadian dark ambient band formed in 2001 by Despairialindrid aka. Despair.
Ashtorath was potentially the first project to develop and incorporate guitar techniques and effects to accomplish atmospheric, minimalist pieces. Dark ambient created solely through the use of guitar is unique to the genre which commonly imposes synthesizer work and sampling. The project was halted in 2003 so that bandmember Despair could create his new band, GloomScry.
The music is generally complemented with poetry and art. This is thought of as the 'triforce' of Despair's work; the concept of art music and poetry simultaneously reinforcing a particular theme at different levels.
