Musicians react & analyze♡ Xdinary Heroes - Ashes to Ashes

The 4th track of the album LXVE to DEATH, it’s “Ashes to Ashes”! Holy shxt… we did NOT expect the song to hit this hard?? What is going on with this album!? It’s like a fast train with no brakes! Those descending notes were perfect, and the little instrumental breaks had us headbanging like crazy. And as always… their voices are the most fascinating part. We seriously wish we could hear this live. Now… SPOILER!!! is next!!! Let’s see what kind of “spoiler” they’re about to spoil for us!

Ah, this song really takes me back to the alternative rock / metal bands I used to listen to in the 2000s... I'm thinking especially of bands like Evanescence, mainly because of the dark, dramatic lyrics and that slightly gothic sound in the outro. Gaon and O.de keep surprising us with their vocals, and I’m really happy to see them getting more and more recognition for their talent! 🥰 Oh, and before you jump back into 'Troubleshooting', I’d really recommend completing the 'Livelock' EP first, since it came out right before. You’ve got 3 more songs to go – "Bad Chemical", "Paranoid" and "AGAIN? AGAIN!" (which has a live clip) – and ideally, I’d also suggest checking out both the live clips and the NPOP live performances for "Break the Brake" and "Pluto". They’re truly outstanding (among my favorite performances from XH), you definitely shouldn’t skip them. As a bonus, there’s also the "Break the Brake" recording behind (which is awesome!). I feel like 'Livelock' is actually quite underrated, even though it's a wonderful album, with an interesting direction and it bridges 'Deadlock' and 'Troubleshooting' beautifully. Anyway, I don't think you're ready for "Spoiler!!!" 😝

This one gave me some My Chemical Romance vibes in the instrumentals. Specifically Three Cheers era. Definitely my favorite on this album

This is my personal favorite b-side on the album but it's all so good! This entire album is so fun to play on the highway during my morning commute lol

that extended note at the end (the adlib) from junhan always gets me. He is getting SO GOOD at those longer yell notes.
