ASHES OF ARES, the US heavy metal duo featuring former Iced Earth members Matt Barlow and Freddie Vidales, has revealed first details about their much-awaited, new studio album, entitled "New Messiahs", that is slated for a release in Europe on July 18 and in North America on August 8, 2025 via ROAR!
Available on CD, Vinyl and in Digital formats, the album pre-sale has just started at: https://ashesofares.rpm.link/nmalbum
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.”
