02 / THE BAND

SIX PLAYERS.
ONE SPARK.

For the love of an unforgettable chorus.

Ashen Regime is a classic rock project inspired by the melodic power of Toto and Foreigner, with the arena-sized spirit of Europe, Kiss and Bon Jovi.

Guitars with bite. Keyboards with atmosphere. A driving rhythm section and vocals that reach for the rafters. This is the sound behind “Still A Fire”.

VOICE, PULSE & FIRE.

The six members of Ashen Regime · Ages as of September 2026

Ewan Calder performing

Stirling · 36

Ewan Calder

Lead vocals

A warm baritone colour with tenor reach and a light upper extension. His defining skill is making a high note feel like the emotional destination of a phrase. He leads lyric interpretation and sings inner harmony lines when another voice carries a response.

Musical history

Ewan began singing in a community choir at eight. As a teenager he learned guitar so he could write songs, then studied breath control and harmony while working evening hospitality shifts. Small acoustic shows in his twenties taught him how to hold an audience quietly. In 2025, his late-night demos reached keyboard player Elias; their writing sessions became the starting point for the band, completed in 2026.

Character profile

183 cm, lean build, fair skin, shoulder-length chestnut hair, green eyes and a neatly kept short beard. Charcoal jacket, open-collar shirt and a small copper ring. Calm eye contact and restrained stage movement.

Marcus “Mack” Renn performing

Newcastle · 40

Marcus “Mack” Renn

Drums, percussion, backing vocals

Buoyant groove, nimble tom runs and carefully placed accents. He sings a steady low baritone harmony, with short responses positioned away from his busiest drum passages.

Musical history

Mack started on a borrowed snare at nine, played school percussion, and spent his late teens alternating rock rehearsals with jazz workshops. Theatre pits and small touring ensembles developed his timing and ability to follow a singer. Bassist Theo became his regular musical partner in 2019. They joined the developing Ashen Regime sessions together in early 2026.

Character profile

179 cm, broad shoulders, light skin, close-cropped dark hair with silver at the temples, brown eyes and clean-shaven face. Rolled sleeves, dark denim and amber ear monitors. An easy smile contrasts with his precise playing.

Luca Serrin performing

Bristol · 34

Luca Serrin

Guitar, backing vocals

Fluid legato, controlled tapping and singing bends. Equally comfortable anchoring rhythm. His bright tenor carries upper backing lines; he hands the lead role to Rowan within songs.

Musical history

Classical lessons at seven gave Luca finger independence; amplified rock at thirteen gave him a new vocabulary. He later earned a living repairing guitars and recording local artists. An online duet exchange with Rowan in 2024 developed into a writing partnership. The pair answered Ewan and Elias’s call for two equal guitar voices in 2026.

Character profile

181 cm, slim build, olive skin, long dark curls, hazel eyes and light stubble. Deep-blue jacket and an amber-finish six-string guitar. Usually framed on the viewer’s left in full-band images.

Rowan Mercer performing

Manchester · 35

Rowan Mercer

Guitar, backing vocals

Articulate alternate picking, intervallic melodies, precise rhythm and expressive sustained notes. A warm middle tenor, he builds inner vocal harmonies. Luca and Rowan share solos and exchange rhythm duties; neither is the permanent supporting guitarist.

Musical history

Rowan began with folk fingerpicking at ten, moved to electric guitar in school bands and became fascinated by arranging two melodies at once. Session work and home recording developed his rhythmic discipline. He met Luca through their 2024 duet exchange; by 2025 they were composing harmonised instrumentals. Joining Ashen Regime in 2026 gave those ideas a vocal centre.

Character profile

176 cm, wiry build, light skin with freckles, straight dark-auburn hair to the jaw and blue-grey eyes. Black work jacket, burgundy shirt and a pearl-white six-string guitar. Usually on the viewer’s right.

Theo Baptiste performing

London · 38

Theo Baptiste

Bass, backing vocals

Melodic fingerstyle lines, precise pick attack when useful and occasional double-stops. The bass is recognisable even in a busy chorus. Theo supplies resonant bass-baritone harmonies and short vocal replies.

Musical history

Theo learned piano at home before choosing bass at twelve. Soul, gospel and funk groups taught him to connect harmony to rhythm; later rock projects gave him room for counter-melodies. He first worked with Mack in 2019. Their shared instinct for making a chorus lift led to a joint invitation into Ashen Regime in 2026.

Character profile

188 cm, solid build, dark brown skin, short twists, brown eyes and a closely trimmed beard. Forest-green overshirt, dark trousers and a natural-walnut five-string bass. Relaxed posture and visible rhythmic movement.

Elias Vale performing

Glasgow · 42

Elias Vale

Keyboards, backing vocals

Percussive organ, lyrical piano and harmonically rich electric piano. He can improvise around a riff while keeping the song grounded. His light tenor and falsetto add upper harmony colour; he coordinates the ensemble’s vocal arrangements.

Musical history

Piano lessons began at six. Gospel accompaniment in adolescence led to jazz harmony, then a fascination with the power of rock organ. In his twenties and thirties he arranged for singers and worked in small studio projects. He discovered Ewan’s demos in 2025 and helped recruit the complete six-member line-up in 2026.

Character profile

180 cm, medium build, medium-brown skin, salt-and-pepper curls, brown eyes and thin round glasses. Midnight-blue shirt, copper cuff detail and an organ-and-piano keyboard rig.
