American rock band – From Ashes To New – Danny Case (vocals), Matt Brandyberry (vocals), Lance Dowdle (guitar), Maty Madiro (drums), and Jimmy Bennett (guitar) – have officially released their new album, Reflections, via Better Noise Music.
Marking a bold new chapter for the Lancaster, PA-based quintet, Reflections builds on the band’s signature fusion of hard rock, hip-hop, and electronic elements while pushing their sound into even more dynamic territory. The 12-track album follows 2023’s Blackout, which reached #1 on multiple iTunes and Spotify Rock and Metal charts worldwide. Alongside the album release, the band has shared the official video for “Forever.” The track pairs introspective verses with explosive choruses and crushing breakdowns, showcasing the band’s evolving range and command of dynamics.
“I wanted to take what we are good at and push it even further,” said Brandyberry. “That was the process for this whole record.”
Following the success of Blackout, the band found themselves at a creative crossroads in late 2023. After completing 16 demo tracks intended for their fifth studio album, they made the unexpected decision to scrap nearly all of the material and start over—retaining just two songs. The reset proved liberating, allowing the group to craft a record that stays true to their roots while expanding their reach to new listeners.
The album’s lead single “Drag Me” is already climbing the charts, currently sitting in the Top 10 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, with additional Canadian radio updates forthcoming.
In support of Reflections, From Ashes To New will make a highly anticipated return to Canada this spring and summer, marking their first live performances in the country in years. For fans who have been waiting, this run is a long-overdue chance to finally experience the band’s explosive live show in person. The tour includes standout dates inToronto and Montreal alongside Black Veil Brides, TX2, and As December Falls, followed by major summer arena performances with Shinedown in Quebec City,Vancouver, and Edmonton.
Reflections has been released in different configurations: CD, periwinkle vinyl, black/white/orchid vinyl exclusively on the band’s official web store, violet/black wave vinyl exclusively via GimmeMetal.com, silver/black vinyl exclusively via Revolver magazine’s website, and black/white/violet vinyl exclusively via Spotify Fans First.
