info_outlineNEW YEARS DAY singer Ash Costello joins us on this week’s edition of The Loaded Radio Podcast
NEW YEARS DAY announced their fifth studio album “Half Black Heart” in late 2023, following the release of the tracks “Vampyre” and “Secrets”. The record also features the band’s 2022 hit “Hurts Like Hell” and more recent single “I Still Believe”. Last fall they also embarked on the “Kiss Of Death” tour with IN THIS MOMENT and ICE NINE KILLS, in addition to being featured on WWE NXT‘s “Halloween Havoc”.
Kerrang! magazine counts NEW YEARS DAY among an elite handful of bands inspiring the next generation. Led by “the vibrant force of nature that is frontwoman Ash Costello,” NEW YEARS DAY unleash anthems of discontent and empowerment, delivered with gothic flair and theatrical bombast.
Saints and sinners, victims and victors. In sound and vision, NEW YEARS DAY walk the line between darkness and light. The band’s duality comes to fruition on “Half Black Heart”, an unrepentant and unashamed album championing discovery, from the darkest secrets to one’s inner strength.
Unrestrained fury collides with arena-ready glamor, confrontational DIY passion, and melodic hooks. “Hurts Like Hell”, “Vampyre”, “Bulletproof”, “Fearless”, the title track, and the rest of “Half Black Heart” join an already impressive catalog of songs, like “Come For Me”, “Skeletons”, “Kill Or Be Killed” and “Shut Up”. Fans have streamed “Angel Eyes” more than 14 million times on Spotify alone.
“Victim To Villain” (2013),“Malevolence” (2015) and “Unbreakable” (2019) deeply resonate with listeners who cherish them as timeless keepsakes, marking different times in their own personal evolution. It’s because Costello, who skillfully conjures horror and comic book aesthetics as allegory, is one of them.
In cinematic music videos, transcendent live performances, and daily interaction (virtual or in-person) with like-minded misfits, this band makes pleasure from pain. Even when it hurts like hell.
In the podcast, Ash Costello talks about the “reunion” of NEW YEARS DAY‘s classic lineup, how the band got involved with the WWE and Rhea Ripley, boring RAMMSTEIN after parties and tons more.
