Alt-Metal band From Ashes To New have released new song “Barely Breathing” featuring Chrissy Costanza from Rock trio Against The Current.

Blending clean vocals and rap verses delivered by Matt Brandyberry alongside screams from frontman Danny Case, “Barely Breathing,” examines “the dissolution of a turbulent romance whose lovers are left ‘barely breathing.’”

Case says:

From the moment we created this song, we knew it was special. It brought a new angle and a fresh sound to the band and because of that, we knew we wanted to feature a singer that could add their own flair and truly give the song its own identity. Chrissy is a perfect addition to this song and her voice brings a dynamic that elevates the song to an even greater level.

Costanza adds:

It’s always a huge honor to be welcomed into another artist’s world. I was a massive fan of this song from the very first listen that getting to be a part of it is such a dream.

Using inspiration from the track’s dark cover art (seen below), From Ashes To New collaborated with director and VFX artist JOSIAHx for the “Barely Breathing” music video.

The band spent most of 2023 on the road including tours with Shinedown, Three Days Grace, In This Moment, Motionless in White and Fit For A King along with festival appearances at Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple. The Lancaster, PA-based band wrapped up the year with a headlining U.S. tour featuring support from The Word Alive, Catch Your Breath and EKOH including two back-to-back sold-out hometown shows at HMAC in Harrisburg, PA.
