May 19 — From Ashes To New gave audiences yet another preview of its forthcoming album, Blackout, over the weekend in the form of ‘Armageddon.’
The band premiered the single and its companion video Friday. The premiere of the new single and video follow those of the album’s four current singles, ‘Until We Break (ft. Matty Mullins),’ ‘Nightmare,’ ‘Heartache,’ and ‘Hate Me Too.’
The heavy guitars and keyboards paired with the rapping in the song’s verses collectively make the song’s arrangement easily comparable to works from the likes of Falling in Reverse. The verses meanwhile are more comparable to works from the likes of Breaking Benjamin and various other similar melodic hard rock acts, such as Ovtlier and Three Days Grace. That combination of comparisons makes the song an easy fit for any active rock radio programmer’s play list. This even with the foul language in mind. Odds are edited copies of the song are available for radio airplay and streaming.
According to information provided about the song in a press release announcing the debut of the new single and video, the song’s lyrical theme “focuses on the current state of the world and how the fighting and the division is leading to some of the worst social times in recent history.”
The video for ‘Armageddon’ is a simple presentation. The band performs its new single on a sound stage dressed to look like a post apocalyptic setting, complete with a destroyed car and CG embers burning and floating in the air around the band.
