Formed in 2000, Ashes of Eden took Montréal's Live circuit by storm. Led by vocalist Mike Rochford, the band's only release to date is 2002's Ruins of the New Dawn, which earned the band consistent airtime on the long-running "Ulcère de Vos Nuits" radio show and the opportunity to support the EP alongside regional and international acts alike, including Kataklysm, Despised Icon, Dragonlord and Strapping Young Lad. The band's first full-length album was predicted for 2005
