The Ashes series, like the cricket series of the same name, was a best-of-three series of test matches between the British and Australian national rugby league football teams. It was contested 39 times from 1908 until 2003 largely with hosting rights alternating between the two countries. From 1973 Australia won thirteen consecutive Ashes series.
History
Several sports and events adopted cricket's Ashes "concept" and by the beginning of the 20th century it was an "accepted principle" that a series had to have at least three matches to be a true test of which side was the best.
On 27 September 1908, the first touring Australian rugby league side arrived in England, and played their first ever Test against the England side in December in London. Two further Tests were played. The Australians suggested that the series should be called "The Ashes" and the name stuck.
The format used is that three matches are played, with the winning team being decided on the basis of most matches won. If one team has already won two matches the series is already won, however the final game is usually still played. In the 1929–30 Ashes series both the teams won one game and one game was drawn; it was therefore decided to hold a further match to determine the outcome.
Ashes is Kyla La Grange's debut album. It was produced by Brett Shaw at 123 Studios in East London, with two tracks produced by Marky Bates and was released on 30 July 2012. All songs were written by La Grange, except "Love You Better" which is a cover of The Maccabbes song from the album Wall of Arms.
"Been Better" was released as the album's lead single on 10 July 2011 with "Courage" as its B-Side.
"Heavy Stone" was released as the second single on 16 October 2011 with "Lambs" as its B-Side.
"Vampire Smile" was released as the third single on 12 February 2012 with the non-album track "Cold Favours" as its B-Side.
"Walk through Walls" was released as the fourth single on 20 July 2012 with her cover of "Love You Better" as its B-Side.
"Been Better" was re-released on 11 November 2012 with "To Be Torn" and the non-album track "Erased" as its B-Sides.
In addition to these singles, "I Could Be" was released as an iTunes Free Single of the Week in August 2012.
"Catalyst" was featured in the season 1 episode "Tough Love" of The CW network television series Beauty & the Beast.
"Ashes" is the second single from English rock band Embrace's fourth studio album, Out of Nothing. This release was publicised by a fan campaign called G.A.T.N.O (Get Ashes to Number One). The song reached number 11.
In the late summer of 2010, the track gained American notoriety through use in a commercial promoting the video game Madden NFL 11 that primarily aired on ESPN.
On 14 August 2014, Reading FC fans chose "Ashes" as their official club anthem.
Psycroptic is an Australian technical death metal band formed in Hobart in 1999. Mainstay members are Dave Haley on drums, his brother Joe Haley on guitar, and Cameron Grant on bass guitar. Their lead vocalist, Jason Peppiatt, joined in 2004. In 2008 they signed to Nuclear Blast. As of February 2012, the band have released five studio albums. They have undertaken Australian national tours supporting international acts, Incantation, Decapitated, Origin and Misery Index. Psycroptic have also toured Europe with Nile and with Deicide.
History
Psycroptic were formed in Hobart in early 1999 by brothers Dave (drums) and Joe (guitar) Haley. Both were members of Disseminate, which had recorded a demo in 1998 before disbanding. The Haleys were joined by Cameron Grant on bass and (ex-Magoria) and Matthew Chalk on vocals (ex-Hemlock), who soon after became a drummer with established local death metal act M.S.I. The band's name, Psycroptic, was randomly devised by Chalk's friend and has no particular meaning. With assistance from the Tasmanian Council of the Arts, the band recorded The Isle of Disenchantment in October 2000, initially as a demo, but they issued it as a studio album. Shortly after it was released in January 2001 the band was invited to play shows in Melbourne. In late 2001 they featured at the annual Metal for the Brain festival in Canberra for the first time, later appearing in 2003 and 2005.
Scribe is a hardcore/experimental/post-Hardcore/metal band from Mumbai, India. Active since 2005, the band has built up a reputation for itself as one of the most technically proficient bands on the Indian underground metal scene.
The original 2009 line-up consisted of Prashant Shah - guitars Niraj (Pin Drop Violence, Chaos Theory), Srinivas Sunderrajan (Chaos Theory), Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy (Split). This line-up released its first EP, Have Hard, Will Core, on Demonstealer Records, creating waves among Indian metal fans and helping to build the band's fanbase. Soon after this, Akshay (Skincold) joined the band to add to the eclectic soundscape.
This is a short film Kyla made with director Debbie Scanlan and editor Liz Adams ahead of the release of her debut album Ashes. The music is an excerpt of the instrumental to 'To Be Torn', one of the tracks on the album.

The pen is mightier than the sword Yet we burnt the paper that we needed The flames alluring... high on destruction Writings and teachings turned to ashes Ironic, foolish Left to write with only a blade Etchings were created Carved for aeons within man Amazed by its elegance It easily seduced us To submission In our beds we had our throats slit A collective massacre of will and reason Outsmarted by the stupid The enlightened blinded by light Were part of the cult Forever lambs to the slaughter Elements of old remain But polluted by the new Continuing to taint the truth The few who strive are scorned The scorned who believe are condemned
