For years, From Ashes To New have captured the hearts and minds of music listeners worldwide, making an impact with a distinctive amalgam of alt metal combined with songs that bracingly capture their generation’s anxieties. Their next album Reflections, out April 17 via Better Noise Music features 12 new songs that brim with even more confidence and power than ever before. To kick this off, the band has shared a video for the track 'Villain.' On 'Villain,' rather than singing from the perspective of the person who knows their partner is so bad for them that it’s toxic but they still stick around, vocalist Matt Brandyberry flips the perspective. Here, he takes the other person’s viewpoint. 'Villain' is a story about the magnetic pull between two people who know better, but dive in anyway. It’s the moment when desire outweighs consequences, when you choose the chaos you swear you shouldn’t want, and the ‘bad guy’ becomes the one voice you can’t quiet. By late 2023, the band was at a creative crossroads. They wrapped up demos for 16 songs for what was to be their fifth studio album. However, instead of sprinting towards the finish line and completing the record, the band decided to scrap those demo sessions. The process went against everything they have done before and scrapping the sessions and mainly starting anew was liberating. Reflections will mark the follow-up to 2023’s BLACKOUT, which achieved the #1 spot on several iTunes and Spotify Rock and Metal charts across the globe. The band hits the road supporting Black Veil Brides on a massive 42-day US Tour starting in late April.
