US melodic power/progressive metal act, Psyco Drama, recently signed a worldwide record deal with German label Pride & Joy Music (with distribution through Edel) for their new album, From Ashes To Wings, to be released on October 30th. To promote the album the band has released the lyric video for "To Live Again":



Psyco Drama return with From Ashes To Wings, continuing the melodic power/progressive metal sound that brought them worldwide acclaim. Formed in Colorado Springs in 1990, Psyco Drama established themselves as a musical force to be reckoned with on their debut album, The Illusion (1996). Its unique blend of hooks and melodies combined with epic and progressive passages resulted in compositions such as “Eyes Of A Child”, “Flames” and “From Here”, with favourable comparisons placing them in the same league as progressive metal giants Dream Theater, Queensrÿche and Fates Warning.

With Corey Brown (vocals) and Hercules Castro (guitar) being the main writing team behind Psyco Drama, the band is considering From Ashes To Wings to be the rightful follow-up to The Illusion. Joining Corey and Hercules on this musical rebirth is bassist Ian Ringler, a member of Psyco Drama during their previous incarnation (as well as Corey’s band mate in Magnitude 9), and drummer Greg Sands.

From Ashes To Wings’ 11 tracks will deliver Psyco Drama’s unique style of heavy metal to the world, with songs such as “To Live Again”, “Broken Road” and "Far From Grace" firmly reestablishing the band at the forefront of the power/progressive metal genre.

The band has put together two album preview videos which feature samples from all of the tracks on From Ashes To Wings:
