From Ashes T0 New Drop New Song/Video “Die For You”
FROM ASHES TO NEW DROP NEW SONG + VIDEO “DIE FOR YOU”
NEW ALBUM REFLECTIONS OUT APRIL 17 VIA BETTER NOISE MUSIC — PRE-ORDER HEREBAND EMBARKS ON MASSIVE WORLDWIDE TOURING THROUGH 2026LATEST SINGLE “DRAG ME” IS TOP 20 AT ROCK RADIOEUROPEAN SHOWS SELLING OUT WITHIN MINUTES OF GOING ON SALE!FROM ASHES TO NEW — Danny Case (vocals), Matt Brandyberry (vocals), Lance Dowdle (guitar), Maty Madiro (drums), and Jimmy Bennett (guitar) — recently announced their new album REFLECTIONS, out April 17 via Better Noise Music. Pre-order it HERE.
The Lancaster, PA-based quintet shares the latest single from the album with “DIE FOR YOU.” Watch the video, featuring Cruella Morgan.
According to Brandyberry, the song reflects “the fallout of a relationship built on control, desire, and guilt. It’s a song that captures the exhaustion of giving endlessly to someone who keeps asking for more and mistaking survival for love. At its core, the song is about the moment clarity breaks through, forcing you to question how much of yourself you’re willing to lose.”
Case echoes these sentiments, furthering, “‘Die For You’ is about bending over backwards, doing everything you possibly can to please someone in a relationship, and it just never ends up being enough. And it feels like no matter what you do, it is just never good enough.”
The weight of the subject matter is matched by the heft of the layered vocals and accompanying razor sharp riffs and moody melodies. Fans cannot help but feel the song’s very real beating heart.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.
In other From Ashes to New news, the single “Drag Me” is Top 20 on Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart.

Hear an Unfinished New Song from Wayne Static as Director Matt Zane Launches Singer Search – @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hear an Unfinished New Song from Wayne Static as Director Matt Zane Launches Singer Search
An unfinished, previously unheard track recorded by late STATIC-X frontman Wayne Static has surfaced as part of filmmaker Matt Zane’s ongoing unauthorized documentary project.
According to Zane, the song was intended to appear in his forthcoming film about Wayne and his late wife Tera Wray. However, the estates of Wayne and Tera, along with Static-X, have declined to grant permission for the unreleased music to be used.
“I want to make it clear, I’d love to finish and give Wayne’s fans his final recording but the families and Static-X aren’t allowing it,” said Zane. “I’d give 100% of the profits of the music to Wayne’s and Tera’s family as long as the recordings were kept in their original form. They were recorded as Wayne Static solo music, not Static-X.”
The Backstory
Zane says the material dates back to 2008 while he was directing Tera Wray in her music series Radium. At the time, Wayne offered music to support the project.
“Warner Brothers stopped us but not before Wayne gave me a bunch of stuff,” Zane explained. “I cover the entire ordeal in the documentary. I have a video of Wayne publicly admitting he wrote music for the series.”
Now, years later, Zane has chosen to move forward with completing select portions of the material for inclusion in the documentary and its potential soundtrack.
“There are songs that I won’t touch that Wayne wrote 100% of,” Zane stated. “But all the misc. riffs and other ideas are what I’ll use. Wayne liked what I was doing with them so I figure I’m on the right track.”
Singer Search Begins
Due to legal restrictions preventing the use of Wayne Static’s original vocal tracks, Zane is now launching an open call for vocalists who believe they can step in and honor Wayne’s style and legacy.
“It’s just like what Jonathan Davis did for the Queen of the Damned soundtrack,” Zane said. “He wasn’t allowed to sing on that soundtrack so he brought in other singers, including Wayne!”
Fans and vocalists interested in participating are invited to submit a recording of themselves performing their favorite Wayne Static song to:
TheSlackerJesus@gmail.com
Zane has also made the unfinished Wayne Static track available for fans to hear as discussion continues surrounding its future.

More updates regarding the documentary and soundtrack will be announced as they develop. -
Leatherwitch Shows Off the “Beast Inside” with Their Debut Single
Bursting onto the scene with a delightfully old school sound, Leatherwitch’s first ever single “Beast Inside” is a heavy metal headbanger.

Following the disbanding of her previous band Crystal Viper, this new outfit is gearing up for new music, new shows, and everything else that comes with running a kick ass metal band.
With this being the world’s first taste of Leatherwitch, I’ll let the music do the rest of the talking. You can check out the “Beast Inside” music video below. If you dig it, you can pre-order the 7″ black splatter vinyl of the “Beast Inside” single, which will be available on April 23.
