From Ashes To New are set to return on 13 November with the deluxe edition of Reflections, released via Better Noise Music. The expanded release features two brand-new tracks alongside two reimagined versions of their hit song ‘Die For You’.
At track 13, we are introduced to ‘Love Me’, a song that paints a picture of a lover reminiscing over the pieces of a broken relationship. Setting the tone from the beginning with smooth vocals and a steady EDM beat, the breakdown transforms into the familiar nu-metal sound that From Ashes To New have shown they are no strangers to. The raw emotion brought through in Danny Case and Matt Brandyberry’s vocals brings the storytelling to life, particularly with the haunting lyrics: “If I tear these memories out of my skin / would you watch me bleed again?”
‘Playing God’ follows and is one of the heavier and angrier tracks on the album. Loud, distorted guitars take centre stage here, accompanied by aggressive vocals and lyrics that are slightly reminiscent of PvP gaming montages. If you know, you know! Which is not a bad thing at all.
‘Die For You’ (ft. Neoni) is a reimagined version of the original hit single, released on March 6, 2026, through Better Noise Music. Featuring alternative-pop duo Neoni, this version gives the song a fresh twist, offering a perspective from the other side of the story. The harmonising vocals of Neoni and Case add a whole new layer of emotion, making it a genuinely goosebump-inducing reinterpretation.
‘Die For You’ (ft. The Midnight), meanwhile, takes things in a completely different direction. Standing out from the other tracks, it blends saxophones and synths to create a nostalgic ‘80s atmosphere. The song transports you to a nightclub in the middle of the night, just after a breakup. You’re sitting alone, drink in hand, lost in thought and wondering whether you made the right decision. It’s a cinematic, bittersweet moment that feels as though it belongs in a late-night scene from an '80s film.
Reflections, originally released on 17 April 2026, showed promise of From Ashes To New continuing to gain popularity and connecting with listeners through their music. These four additional tracks only add to that statement, showcasing the band’s ability to experiment with their sound while retaining the elements that make them recognisable.
