From Ashes to New delivered a relentless, high-octane performance that reaffirmed their status as one of the most dynamic live acts in modern rock.
From Ashes to New, known for seamlessly blending rap, metal, and electronic-infused rock, drew a packed crowd eager to experience their evolving sound in an intimate venue that thrives on close-quarters intensity. What unfolded over the next hour and a half was a masterclass in emotional vulnerability, musical precision, and sheer kinetic force.
From the moment the lights dimmed and the opening notes of “Heartache” reverberated through the room, the audience’s anticipation erupted into a roar. The band stormed the stage with synchronized conviction, their dual-vocal attack immediately setting the tone. Danny Case’s soaring melodies intertwined effortlessly with Matt Brandyberry’s rapid-fire verses, showcasing the hybrid style that has become the group’s unmistakable identity. The chemistry between the two frontmen was palpable, as they played off each other’s energy with an almost conversational fluidity.
Revolution Live proved the perfect backdrop for the band’s layered sound—tight enough to feel personal but expansive enough to allow every detail to hit with full impact. Lance Dowdle’s guitar work cut through the mix with both ferocity and finesse, while drummer Mat Madiro commanded the room with thunderous precision. Each beat seemed to sync with the crowd’s heartbeat, driving the room into a frenzy as fans jumped, shouted, and sang every lyric with unrestrained passion.
The setlist pulled heavily from their most recent material, but the band did not shy away from revisiting fan-favorite tracks that helped establish their early following. Songs like “Through It All” and “Crazy” ignited immediate recognition, prompting some of the night’s loudest sing-alongs. Between tracks, the band took moments to speak candidly about resilience, mental health, and the importance of community—messages that resonated deeply with the audience. These emotional interludes added weight to already powerful songs, transforming the performance from a concert into a collective, cathartic release.
One of the standout moments of the night came during “Hate Me Too,” where the venue’s lighting shifted into an intense strobe-driven spectacle that mirrored the song’s turbulent emotional core. As Case belted the chorus with soaring conviction, Brandyberry stalked the stage with fiery intensity, commanding the room like a general leading a battalion. The crowd responded in kind, erupting in a swirl of movement that reflected the song’s defiant spirit.
Later, the band slowed the pace with “Barely Breathing,” allowing their more melodic side to take center stage. Here, the vulnerability in Case’s voice contrasted beautifully with the atmospheric keys and textured guitar layers. It was a welcome breath between the heavier numbers, demonstrating the band’s versatility and emotional range.
As the night built toward its finale, the crowd’s energy never once waned. The band closed with “Nightmare,” unleashing one last surge of adrenaline that left fans shouting for more. When they finally exited the stage, Revolution Live remained electric—proof that From Ashes to New had delivered precisely what their fans came for: a raw, gripping, and unforgettable performance.
In the end, the Fort Lauderdale show stood as a testament not only to the band’s musical evolution but to their unwavering connection with their audience. From Ashes to New left Revolution Live scorched and satisfied, and the fans walked away reminded of why this band continues to climb the ranks of modern rock with unstoppable momentum.
