From Ashes To New have released their latest single, “Drag Me”, following the band earning their first-ever gold single in the United States last month. The track delves into the internal struggles that inspire much of the band’s music. Vocalist Matt Brandyberry explained the song’s origins: “We wanted to create a song about feeling trapped in a war with yourself, when your inner demons pull harder than your better intentions can push.

Blackened death metal icon Behemoth frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski isn’t spending much time exploring the mainstream side of today’s metal scene. Speaking with Jaimunji, the 48-year-old made it clear that rising arena-level acts like Sleep Token and Parkway Drive—or even chart-topping veterans Avenged Sevenfold—simply aren’t on his radar.

As he put it, those acts are irreplaceable—and time is running out to witness them. “Every time Guns N’ Roses are in town, I’m up and I always go and…
