The initial concept for the band was to combine the sound of Helmet and Black Label Society (with Alice In Chains "somehow sneaking their way in"), though by 2006 Ash was becoming influenced by industrial rock (Nine Inch Nails, Ministry), progressive rock (Pink Floyd, Rush) and extreme metal (Strapping Young Lad, Meshuggah) and sought to include elements of these bands on the songs that would later appear on the [[Mk II EP|second]] and third EPs. While the live band was originally to be at-times improvisational on stage (similar to Led Zeppelin), this idea was discarded in favour of tighter performances. The use of B-tuning was influenced by Crowbar. |
