With their self-titled debut album released in 2013, the band quickly captivated audiences in the USA and Europe with their electrifying live performances. In 2017, after the departure of Van Williams, Matt and Freddie continued undeterred, forging ahead with their creative journey. Their sophomore album, “Well of Souls” (2018), showcased a more intense and expansive sound, cementing the duo’s partnership in songwriting, followed by their third full-length, “Emperors and Fools” (2022), that marked a new milestone and evolution in the sound of **ASHES OF ARES**.  Now, the band returns with** *****New Messiahs***, continuing their relentless pursuit of sonic excellence and delivering a collection of 12 new tracks that push the boundaries of their signature sound! Featuring the blistering title track and standouts like “Two Graves” and “Wake of Vultures,” the album brings an emotional intensity, sharp songwriting, and captivating melodies that reflect their journey as artists. ***New Messiahs*** introduces notable collaborations, including Kyle Taylor on drums and guest appearances from Charlie Honig, Craig Blackwell, and Todd La Torre. A surprise bonus track, featuring a powerful cover of Elton John’s “And The House Fell Down”, highlights the duo’s ability to make any song their own. Recorded and mastered by Byron Filson at Villain Recording in Phoenix, Arizona, the album features stunning artwork by Kamil Pietruczynik, bringing a visual dimension to the sonic experience. Spanning over a decade of evolution, **ASHES OF ARES** continues to honour their commitment to heartfelt, powerful music that transcends boundaries. With **“New Messiahs”**, they solidify their place as masters of storytelling and architects of a sound that resonates deeply with fans worldwide. **Artist Line-Up:** ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/26253/image005-9.jpg) Matt Barlow – Vocals Freddie Vidales – Guitars, Bass Guest drums by Kyle Taylor **For More Info Visit:** **Website |****[https://www.ashesofares.com](http://www.ashesofares.com/)**** ** **Facebook | ****[https://www.facebook.com/AshesOfAres](https://www.facebook.com/AshesOfAres)**** ** **Instagram | ****[https://www.instagram.com/ashesofaresofficial](https://www.instagram.com/ashesofaresofficial)**** ** **X | ****[https://twitter.com/AshesOfAres](https://www.instagram.com/ashesofaresofficial)**** ** **YouTube | ****[https://www.youtube.com/user/ashesofaresofficial](https://www.youtube.com/user/ashesofaresofficial)**** ** Visit **RPM ROAR** online:  **Homepage: ****[https://www.roar-records.de](https://www.roar-records.de/)** **Facebook: ****[https://www.facebook.com/rpmroar](https://www.facebook.com/rpmroar)** **Instagram: ****[https://www.instagram.com/rpm_roar/](https://www.instagram.com/rpm_roar/)** **TikTok: ****[https://www.tiktok.com/@rpm_roar](https://www.tiktok.com/@rpm_roar)** **X: ****[https://x.com/rpmroar](https://x.com/rpmroar)**** ** **YouTube: ****[https://www.youtube.com/@rpmroar](https://www.youtube.com/@rpmroar)** ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/26254/image001-3.jpg)
