An emotionally charged faith-based melodic hard rock trio based out of Nashville, Tennessee, As We Ascend were founded by We as Human's Justin Forshaw and Jake Jones. When the Dove Award-nominated latter band ceased operations in 2016, Forshaw and Jones decided to continue on under a new moniker, and enlisted producer and multi-instrumentalist Robert Venable to join the group. The newly minted trio released its debut single, "Wash Away," later that year, followed by the full-length Farewell to Midnight in 2017. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
