‘New Disease’ is the new single from Pennsylvania, USA alt-metal outfit From Ashes To New.
Every day there’s a new trend,” said Matt Brandyberry, one of the band’s vocalists, about the song’s theme. “Every day there’s a new wave of people going out of their way to be recognised no matter the cost. We are hypnotised by our vices…We will kill ourselves to be noticed.”
Aside from Brandyberry, From Ashes To New also features vocalist Danny Case, guitarists Lance Dowdle and Jimmy Bennett, plus drummer Maty Madiro. The band having made an impact with a distinctive amalgam of hard rock, hip-hop, electronic, and alternative music, combined with songs that bracingly capture their generation’s anxieties, as evidenced by 2023’s Blackout album reaching the #1 spot on several iTunes and Spotify rock and metal charts across the globe.

The Blackout album was an important statement forthe band, following on but acting as a prequel to the band’s 2016 debut album Day One. Garnering over 278 million lifetime global total streams including nearly 20 million video streams, the album mirrored the angst and unrest the world felt during the 2020 pandemic, at which time it was written.
From Ashes To New are currently on tour in the USA.
