A music video for the band's first single, "Wake Of Vultures", is now premiering below. Matt comments:
""WAKE OF VULTURES" is derived from the idea "Misery loves company" but this goes one step further. This is the back side of involving yourself with the group of miserable people. Once you are a part of that group, you are either a vulture or you are the miserable piece of meat that they feast upon. Another cautionary tale...I'm seeing a pattern."

Formed in 2012 by Matt Barlow and Freddie Vidales, alongside former Nevermore drummer Van Williams, ASHES OF ARES was born from a shared vision: to create a sound that reflects their personal influences, ideas, and visions. 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.
Spanning over a decade of evolution, ASHES OF ARES continues to honor 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.
