Armed with a sound that has been tirelessly forged in the crucible of heavy emotion and struggle, Rose From Ashes are a musical force to be reckoned with. The Canada-based outfit have recently burst onto the scene with a sound that is as heartfelt as it is heavy, infusing dynamic metal anthemics with a pure emotional thread. In perfect form, their latest offering, 'Red Hand', is more than just a song—it’s an anthem for anyone who has stared down adversity and risen from their own ashes.
Having recently inked a deal with Amalien Records, a subsidiary of the legendary Virgin Records, the band is poised to take their brand of emotionally charged metalcore to the masses. While their influences span a wide spectrum, from the modern power of Bad Omens and Bad Wolves to the dynamic soundscapes of Memphis May Fire, they have carved out a sonic identity all their own. It’s a sound that artfully blends the ferocity of metalcore with the melodic undertones of hard rock, creating something that is familiar, fresh, and never pulls any punches.
The band’s second single, following in the distant footsteps of ‘Ignite the Sky’, and their first major release with the new label, ‘Red Hand’ is a track thay showcases the duo’s masterful ability to craft a moody and dramatic soundscape. It rises from a swirling mass of synth and staggered percussion, drawing you in before striking with a visceral cacophony of sound. The powerful dynamics of the two vocalists are immediately apparent, switching between raw aggression and melodic introspection over a bristling backdrop of searing guitars and powerful drums.
As the track approaches the minute mark, it truly takes flight, delivering what can only be described as one of the finest rock anthemics of the year. This is where the band truly shines, with every member on top form to create a perfect cataclysm of sound that is heavy, expressive, and utterly undeniable. The song is written with a clear intention, focusing on real-life emotions and situations expressed through powerful metaphors, a core tenet of their musical philosophy.
Rose From Ashes are a band that lives their music. They don’t fake it; they live it. They invite listeners to join their family and become part of a movement that rejects surface-level noise in favour of authenticity. With 'Red Hand' already racking up streams and the accompanying cinematic visuals bringing its story to life, it’s clear that this is just the beginning of their journey.
