Great Things With MATT BRANDYBERRY Of FROM ASHES TO NEW

From Ashes To New have had a stellar 2024, with the release of Blackout Deluxe capitalising on the success of the original album and opening up the band to a wider fanbase who got to hear a different side of the band's musical psyche.
It is already their best performing album, so much so that it has propelled them across the world for their first visit to Australia when they hit the stage as part of Good Things 2024, starting in Melbourne on December 6 before moving through Sydney and Brisbane over consecutive days. It is hard to believe this will be From Ashes To New's debut performance Down Under, with HEAVY getting the opportunity to talk with vocalist Matt Brandyberry to find out more.
In the full interview, Matt expressed his excitement about his first tour of Australia, which he has been wanting to do for over a decade. He mentioned that he has no idea what to expect from Australian crowds and that he is looking forward to a stripped-down, old-school throwdown-style show.
We spoke about their performance at Good Things and who he was more looking forward to playing with, the vibe backstage at festivals and catching up with old friends and the difference between the dynamics between bands at festivals and on smaller tours which led to a chat about From Ashes To New's own headlining sideshows. He also mentioned that fans could expect to hear a few different songs from Blackout Deluxe, which featured collaborations with various artists. Matt expressed satisfaction with the album's performance and the positive fan reaction to the risk they took by releasing it. He used the example of Bad Omens' success with their album Death of Peace of Mind to illustrate the importance of taking risks in the music industry.
Matt also revealed that From Ashes to New are working on new material, but due to personal and work commitments, the process has been slow. He emphasized the importance of taking risks and being genuine in their music, aiming to create something that will resonate with fans for decades.
