MASTER'S ASHES unveil their first single, “Defiance Disorder”, a visceral and uncompromising introduction to the sonic and thematic core of their upcoming debut album, “How The Mighty Have Fallen”, set for release on April 17 via Time To Kill Records.
Channeling the band’s fusion of dystopian heaviness, atmospheric tension and confrontational intensity, the track embodies the collective’s manifesto of resistance and collapse. Built on serrated riffwork, crushing rhythmic momentum, and a suffocating sense of urgency, “Defiance Disorder” encapsulates the ideological and musical pillars that define MASTER'S ASHES: a stark rejection of submission, a reflection on societal decay, and a powerful declaration of defiance forged through decades of extreme music experience.
The official premiere of the single is now live via Decibel Magazine. Stream it

MASTER'S ASHES is far more than a band – it’s a reckoning. Forged from the ranks of a few untouchable acts, this collective of battle-hardened musicians brings decades of innovation, chaos, and raw expression into a single, volatile entity. There is that known expression, when something is “more than the sum of its parts”. Well, we’re sure that even if this band was “just” the sum of their parts, Eric Forrest (Voivod), Afzaal Deen and Fred Waring (Crisis), Dan Kaufman (Destroy Judas, Dystopia, Mindrot), Jeff Golden (Six Feet Under, Crowbar), and Katy Crimson (The Convalescence), would already be pretty awesome. Individually, they are legendary. But together, they are unstoppable. A force that refuses to bow, bend, or behave.
MASTER'S ASHES stands as a testament to what happens when experience, conviction, and rebellion collide. This is not a nostalgia act. This is not a supergroup gimmick. This is the next wave of resistance: loud, unfiltered, and inevitable.
