Between rage and fragility, ASHEN's debut album Chimera is a journey through a range of emotions. Formed in Paris in 2021, the band transforms pain and uncertainty into deeply human metalcore. Here, anger rubs shoulders with lucidity, fear dialogues with hope.

Chimera explores this quest for self through resilience, healing, and acceptance. The album becomes an inner journey, a confrontation with this symbolic double, this chimera that guides us through the chaos. Each track is a fragment of this metamorphosis.

Meet Again, the album's new music video, illustrates ASHEN's universe and how they convey the emotions that run through Chimera. And if you prefer the live experience, the concert recorded at Hellfest 2025 allows you to discover the band on stage in all its glory.

ASHEN is currently continuing its tour in France, with a stop at La Maroquinerie on October 10 and opening for Three Days Grace at Le Bataclan in December, a concert that is already sold out. The tour will continue in early 2026 in Europe with Resolve.

With Chimera, ASHEN doesn't introduce itself, it opens up. It's a band that doesn't just want to be heard, but to invite everyone to explore what resonates within themselves when everything is uncertain.
