From Ashes To New Ignite The Crowd At The Ranch Concert Hall
The Ranch Concert Hall in Fort Myers, Florida buzzed with anticipation waiting for From Ashes To New to take the stage. Kicking off the night, Dark Divine, fronted by Anthony Martinez, brought an energetic set full of hard hitting riffs and a spooky atmosphere. The second act of the night, The Pretty Wild, made up of sisters Jyl and Jules Wylde, brought a heavier performance with more raw energy and aggression. All this warmed up the crowd for the headliner, From Ashes To New, and the crowd was alive with excitement.
Hailing from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, From Ashes To New have quickly taken over the metal scene. Vocalists Matt Brandyberry and Danny Case delivered a dynamic mix of rap, rock, and melodic hooks that came together to create an unforgettable experience. Guitarists Jimmy Bennett and Lance Dowdle both delivered exciting guitar riffs while exhibiting a calm confidence on stage. Mat Madiro displayed perfect precision and complex skills on the drums. All together, the band blew the roof off of The Ranch.
The crowd went wild throughout the entirety of the performance. A standout song for the audience was “Hate Me Too”. There were devil horns in the air and lyrics being screamed back at the band. Multiple mosh pits erupted during “Dead To Me”, which seemed to be a fan favorite. Emotions were high when Brandyberry took a moment out of the performance to advocate for mental health awareness. The weight of his words “The only time you let go is when you die,” hit hard for everyone in the crowd. As From Ashes To New played their last song everyone head banged and jumped up and down. When the last note rang out, the room erupted with thunderous applause and cheers. Overall, it was a beautiful night, and Florida can't wait to rock out with From Ashes To New again
