From Ashes To New, the alt-metal band from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is set to release their fifth studio album, 'Reflections', on April 17 through Better Noise Music. The album includes 12 new songs that showcase increased confidence and intensity compared to their previous work.
The group recently dropped the third single from the album, 'Villain', which explores a dark and complex perspective on toxic relationships. Unlike conventional narratives, the song is told from the viewpoint of the person who is seen as the 'villain' in the dynamic, emphasizing the allure of chaos and temptation.
Following their 2023 album 'Blackout', which achieved chart-topping success on multiple rock and metal platforms, From Ashes To New took an unconventional approach to 'Reflections'. After initially completing 16 demo tracks, they decided to discard most of that material and start fresh, aiming to stay true to their signature sound while broadening their appeal within the alt-metal genre.
The album will be available in seven different physical formats, including exclusive vinyl variants through diverse outlets like the band's online store and indie record shops. The band plans a 42-date U.S. tour beginning April 25, supporting Black Veil Brides along with TX2 and As December Falls.
Prior to the album release, From Ashes To New has been building anticipation through singles such as 'New Disease' and 'Drag Me', the latter enjoying early radio success. Their continued commitment to connecting deeply with fans and addressing shared struggles remains a core element of their music and message.
