Fire From The Gods Team With From Ashes To New’s Matt B For Brand New Mix Of Fan-Favorite Track “Victory”
Austin-based rock band Fire From The Gods just unveiled a new version of their song “Victory” now featuring a guest appearance from Better Noise Music labelmate Matt B of From Ashes To New.
The band also released an empowering and energetic visual for the collaboration today, highlighting the many recent challenges of the human experience around the world, using real-life footage from recent social unrest and natural disasters.
Giving a statement on the song’s release, Fire From The Gods lead singer AJ Channer said “These last 2 years have been tough on so many. I can talk until I'm blue in the face about how much we missed out on not being able to tour. We want to give American Sun a proper send off. What better way than with ‘Victory.’ Big up to Matt of From Ashes to New for hopping on and blessing the track with his unique take on the song.” The band’s drummer Richie Wicander added the following to give context for the new music video, “The new visual speaks to one of the biggest goals we have with making music - to speak to the human experience and call for connection. We wanted to use the visuals from social and political protests and natural disasters in my homeland of Germany, and Italy, to show that as a collective we are battling something and are in this together. We need to push forward and have perseverance. We will overcome. We will have our victory - together!”.
The track originally appeared on Fire From The God’s critically praised LP “American Sun”. Earlier this summer, the band released “American Sun (Reimagined)” which offers stripped-down, acoustic versions of fan-favorite tracks from the album. Serving as a reflective statement from the band, the release was a new approach to their art, inspired by the last year of current events as they prepare for their next chapter of music. The project is an embodiment of the band’s overall call for unity with their music.
