Noah Ashwood official

Noah Ashwood is the UK artist and producer pioneering Asylumcore — a fusion of horrorcore and metalcore rooted in cinematic storytelling and psychological horror. His sound is equally described as Nightmarecore, a nightmarish world of heavy riffs, haunting atmospheres, and theatrical narratives where characters like Friend and Wendigo bring his asylum-inspired lore to life.

Ashwood’s debut singles have already made waves, with his music charting Top 25 in Metal across the UK, quickly growing a global listener base. Known for his DIY approach, he writes, records, produces, mixes, and masters his own work, shaping a sound that’s both brutally heavy and emotionally immersive.

As the founder of Holy Roller Records, Ashwood not only builds his own world but also provides a platform for emerging heavy artists, crafting a movement that blurs the line between music and cinematic horror.
