From Ashes To New are celebrating today's release of their brand new studio album "Reflections" by sharing a Orie McGuinness music video for the song "Forever".

Matt Brandyberry had this to say about the song, "'Forever' came together at the very end of the record, almost like it was waiting for everything else to fall into place before it could exist.

"There's a sense of finality to it, like standing in the aftermath of something you can't fix, realizing too late where it all went wrong. It paints a picture of how it feels when regret won't let go.

"We pushed ourselves further than we ever have on this one. We made choices that felt uncomfortable, but that's what helped shape it into something different for us. The goal wasn't to play it safe; it was to evolve and create something that sticks with you. 'Forever' doesn't resolve cleanly...It lingers, and that's exactly what we wanted."

The group said of the new album, "It's not a concept album by design, but there's a common theme running through it - that feeling of being stuck in a kind of purgatory, where you can almost see something better ahead of you, but there's always something dragging you back down."
