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

Reception

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." 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."

All music is composed by John Bergin and Brett Smith.
