[MUSC INTERVIEW] FROM ASHES TO NEW – Reflections Interview

From Ashes To New have just released their brand new Reflections album through Pure Noise Records.

The 12-track REFLECTIONS is the follow-up to 2023’s BLACKOUT, which achieved the #1 spot on several iTunes and Spotify Rock and Metal charts across the globe. It was a massive success. Yet, in late 2023, FROM ASHES TO NEW arrived at a creative crossroads. The group wrapped up demos for 16 songs for what was supposed to be their fifth studio album. However, instead of sprinting towards the finish line and completing the record, the band scrapped those demo sessions. The process went against everything the band had ever done before. But largely starting anew —they kept two songs—was liberating. The band collectively knew it had to make something that remained true to their traditional sound yet broadened the tent to capture the ears and focus of a fresh audience. “I wanted to take what we are good at and push it even further,” Brandyberry says. “That was the process for this whole record.”

As a result, fans can hear a reinvigorated FROM ASHES TO NEW on REFLECTIONS.

This week the band sat down with Subculture for a chat about the new album. You can take a listen right here:
