FROM ASHES TO NEW (@FromAshesToNew)—Danny Case (vocals), Matt Brandyberry (vocals), Lance Dowdle (guitar), Maty Madiro (drums), Jimmy Bennett (guitar)—are wrapping up 2025 with the release today (December 5) of a visceral new song, “Drag Me,” via Better Noise Music. Listen to the track HERE and watch the visualizer HERE.
“We wanted to create a song about feeling trapped in a war with yourself, when your inner demons pull harder than your better intentions can push,” says singer Matt Brandyberry. “Every good thought gets buried beneath the bad and you start to realize the real fight isn’t against the world, it’s against the reflection staring back at you. ‘Drag Me’ came from that place…the feeling of being pulled straight into hell by the parts of yourself you could never escape.”
The sonically intense and lyrically harrowing “Drag Me” is the follow-up to “New Disease,” which was released July 25 via Better Noise Music and marked their first new offering since “Live Before I’m Dead (Hours),” one of the six bonus tracks that appeared on the June 2024 release of the BLACKOUT (DELUXE) album. “New Disease” can be streamed and downloaded HERE, and the video can be seen HERE.
FROM ASHES TO NEW have already made their mark as a hugely successful band with a #1-charting album—2023’s BLACKOUT (Better Noise Music)—which landed the #1 spot on several iTunes and Spotify Rock and Metal charts across the globe. Artistically, the Lancaster, PA outfit have made impact with a distinctive amalgam of alt metal combined with songs that bracingly capture their generation’s anxieties.
