Modern Nu-Metal band From Ashes To New has shared a new version of their track “Scars That I’m Hiding”, ft Anders Friden of In Flames. The song was re-created for the soundtrack for the Better Noise Films release, The Retaliators (out on-demand in late October 2020). A version without Fridén’s vocals will be included on the band’s upcoming release entitled Panic, due out 8/28/2020.
Of the track and film, frontman Matt Brandyberry says “There is nothing more bad-ass than being able to act alongside so many talented artists and The Retaliators gave us that opportunity! As kids we grew up with dreams to be musicians and actors and we are beyond grateful to be able to bring both dreams to fruition through this project. We can’t help but feel that all of this is building the hype we know our new album “Panic” deserves. This is only the beginning for what FATN is about to do!”
The video for “Scars That I’m Hiding” (feat Anders Fridén of IN FLAMES) features the members of From Ashes To New, Anders and footage from the upcoming film. Horror spectacular The Retaliators will star, among many other prominent rockers, the members of From Ashes To New . The film revolves around a single father and local pastor, John Bishop (Michael Lombardi – Rescue Me) who serves as a righteous role model for his faithful flock and his two daughters. When tragedy strikes, Detective Jed Sawyer (Marc Menchaca – Ozark) offers him a secret chance for vengeance, forcing not only a reckoning with himself but the unleashing of a terrifying underground horror. Also featured in the film are members of Mötley Crüe, Five Finger Death Punch and Papa Roach among others.
Critically acclaimed vocalist, Anders Fridén of the band IN FLAMES explains of the collaboration “We’ve had the pleasure of touring with From Ashes To New a few times, so I was excited when they asked me to do a feature on their new song. The end result sounds awesome. Can’t wait to hit the road together again hopefully soon.
