From Ashes to New returns with a blistering new single, “New Disease,” a sonic gut-punch that mixes alt-metal aggression with lyrical introspection. Known for their fusion of hard rock, hip-hop, and electronic elements, the Pennsylvania-based band intensifies their hybrid formula here, offering fans a sharper, more focused version of their sound.
Instrumentally, “New Disease” is relentless—riff-heavy and breakdown-laced, a tightly wound track that hits with calculated force. The production leans into chaos without sacrificing clarity, and the band’s trademark genre-blending remains intact. Matt Brandyberry and Danny Case deliver a volatile performance, balancing clean hooks with fierce rap verses and raw screams that reflect the track’s social commentary.
Lyrically, “New Disease” isn’t subtle. Lines like “Put a gun against your head / Pull the trigger join the trend” are jarring by design, challenging listeners to confront the dark side of viral culture. The message—about a world addicted to attention, self-destruction, and the dopamine hits of internet fame—resonates in a time when the line between recognition and ruin has never been thinner.
Following the chart-topping success of Blackout in 2023, “New Disease” feels like a natural evolution rather than a departure. It keeps the emotional intensity that fans loved from Blackout, while doubling down on the urgency and edge. There’s a distinct early-2000s energy here—think Linkin Park and early Papa Roach—but From Ashes to New updates that nostalgia with modern production and a sense of self-awareness.
If this single is any indication, their upcoming tour and album could be a turning point. Cementing the band’s place not just as genre revivalists, but as artists with something to say in a world addicted to the noise.
