Melbourne four-piece modern metal band Rise From Ashes have released their latest single 'Disease'. Rise From Ashes took to the scene in 2023 with debut single 'Obliviate', followed by an abundance of single releases and three-track 'The Cycle of Fear' (2025) followed by their own EP remix. Disease is the newest in a long line of hits that lead to Rise From Ashes
supporting for heavy hitters Ill Niño on their most recent Australian tour. It slithers through the midnight air, Unseen but always near and a whisper, In the silence, The taste of rust and fear, Bodies line the empty streets, Their eyes still frozen wide, A kingdom built of sickness, And none are left to fight, No cure no mercy, No savior no dawn, The fever takes hold, 'Til everything's gone, You can beg you can bleed you can scream at the sky. I saw a Rise From Ashes tiktok recently, and in it vocalist Ante is talking about how much he dislikes recording vocals. All I have to say to that is, the end product goes to show that he may not like the process but the results speak for themselves. With a beautiful natural blend of Randy Blythe and Trevor Strnad style lows and highs you know you are in for a treat. Ante
applies a hectic and attention grabbing hollow fry sound throughout the track will hold you captivated. The dynamic switch ups from light breathy sounds to the weighty gutterals are utilised in the most interesting ways to dictate the ever present resistance to corruption and contamination of the powers that be. No cure no graves, The earth won’t need them anyway, No cure no dawn, By the time you hear this we’ll be gone, No more time no more light, The end of the world has begun, Bury me beneath the ash, Burn my name erase the past, No redemption no goodbye, Just a monster left to die, I'm infected desecrated, Lost to darkness lost to need, Contaminated soul negated, Let
the disease finish me. Lyrically Disease paints such a pretty picture of destruction with no hope for redemption or recourse. This track kept flipping in meaning for me as I listened to it on repeat, with one round it can be an individual falling to the circumstances and the next I was taking it as a fall of humanity kind of situation. No matter which way you take it, the song is a tale of infected destruction and collapse where no god is coming to save you, no matter how much you scream into the sky for salvation. I'm infected I was never free, Let this disease take me. Instrumentally Disease has a nostalgic Mitch Lucker era Suicide Silence feel to it with whirring guitars that will leave you on edge, chunky guitars that will have that head
moving and stank face firmly planted, while the drums will have you simultaneously wanting to run in circles at high velocity and feeling like you are pressed up against a wall with no chance of escape. I am genuinely excited to see where Rise From Ashes takes us next. No cure no graves, No cure no dawn, No fate no hope, The end of the world has begun, No cure no graves, The earth won’t need them anyway, No cure no dawn, By the time you hear this we’ll be gone, No more time no more light, The end of the world has begun.
