Hands of Ash is the sixth studio album by Trust Obey, released on July 23, 1996 by Fifth Colvmn Records.

[1][2][3] Aiding & Abetting commended Hands of Ash for being "Gothic in the sense of spartan arrangements and black overtones" and that "the production is quite good, leaving just enough of a dull edge on the sound to create an ominous feel.

"[4] Sonic Boom said "The real potential of this project lies in its DIY production and denial to bend to the will of a producer in its final mastering" and "this album is something any fan of slow, harsh and rumbling ambience will enjoy.

"[5] All music is composed by John Bergin and Brett SmithAdapted from the Hands of Ash liner notes.
