FROM ASHES REBORN:
"‘Wraiths Of Memories’ is a descent into the echoes of the past – where memories turn to ghosts and every scar tells its own story. It speaks of loss, self-reflection, and the struggle to find light in the ruins of what once was. Carried by melancholic melodies and driving intensity, the song shifts between fragility and strength. A reflection on holding on and letting go – and on what remains when even memory starts to fade."




FROM ASHES REBORN describes the new single:
"'In Truth Divided' reflects the fracture of shared reality – when convictions become walls and truth turns into a weapon. It explores how easily comfort replaces understanding, and how division becomes its own belief. Both aggressive and introspective, the song balances fury with reflection. A portrait of disconnection, self-deception, and the courage to keep searching for one’s own truth."




The band says:
"'Chasing Utopia' is a rebellion against decay – a song about trying to find meaning when everything around you is falling apart. It tells of a world that fails itself, of deception, power and the desire not to give up despite everything. Powerful riffs and dark melodies meet lyrics full of doubt and resistance. 'Chasing Utopia' is not an escape from reality, but a decision to face it head on."





After a longer break, FROM ASHES REBORN will return in 2026 with the new album "Chasing Utopia".

With a stable line-up, the new songs are heavier, more direct, and produced with greater attention to detail, without losing the band’s signature atmosphere.

The first single dropped on Dec. 05 and offers a first glimpse of what’s to come. More information, artwork, and release details will follow soon. Stay tuned and follow the band on their portals to stay up-to-date.


FLASHBACK
With their brilliant debut album, FROM ASHES REBORN confidently counted themselves among the most promising new MELODIC DEATH METAL bands from Germany.

Because "Existence Exiled", a true firework of really well-composed melodies and well-interlinked, catchy structures, combines all the classical advantages of this genre with flying colors. 



Founded in 2017, the talented musicians from Wittlich presented a brilliant debut album in 2018 after a record-breakingly short period of time, which even made some older bands in the profession look rather pale in terms of playing culture and musical flow. 






The fabulously lively and virtuously celebrated guitar work on "Existence Exiled" fulfils the highest demands. At the same height parries the stunningly powerful and equally accurate drumming, which is a stable guarantee for musical sovereignty even in the most explosive blast-beat outbreaks. 


Also, shouter Ronny, a real monster on the mic, was clearly born to stretch his vocal-cords in this troupe quite a bit - powerful growls of all kinds are his thing!





The material was recorded and produced in the established Klangschmiede Studio E in cooperation with producer Markus Stock. And the manifold dynamics of this disc were tailored with the right and suitable sound on its massive body.

Sound master Stock, also known for his serious works in Empyrium, The Vision Bleak and Sun Of The Sleepless, feels and knows from a long experience exactly what a special band like FROM ASHES REBORN wants and needs.

The aim of the deliberately taken studio choice was to refine the songs with a large-scale, organic sound, so to speak, to achieve a 'ultra-dark' atmosphere. Goal achieved!





The result is an all-encompassing album, full of epic-dramatic direct hits, which achieves its efficiency through detailed vehemence and the harmonious listening pleasure through refreshing, compositional class.

"Existence Exiled" is therefore a manifest of radiating passion, permeated by the spirit of the Scandinavian pioneers, that simply does not let you go as a worshiper of such art.

FROM ASHES REBORN create on "Existence Exiled" fascinatingly diverse landscapes, all of beastly beauty, whose musical being nourishes itself from corresponding lyrics.

"Existence Exiled" was officially released on May 1, 2018. And already with the first notes connoisseurs and gourmets are sure to dealing with a timeless masterpiece. An excellent feast for demanding maniacs.
