Background Information

“Days of Ash“ was released on February 18, 2026, as a surprise release with no advance press. The six track digital EP was made available at noon Eastern worldwide on digital storefronts and streaming services.

Promotional releases to support “Days of Ash” went out at the same time as the launch of the EP. These were sent digitally, and the initial digital releases to radio and press contained all six songs. In some regions one of the songs was highlighted for radio play. In Italy for instance, the promo contained the entire EP, but DJs were pointed towards “Song of the Future” as the focus track and the first single for radio.

Later releases were abbreviated versions. “Wildpeace” did not feature on these later releases, and some also did not contain “The Tears of Things”, and some drop “American Obituary”. See our catalog section below for more information.

The artwork with these digital releases is the same as the commercial artwork. And the mixes of songs sent out again match with the commercial release, including the end of “Song of the Future” which does not fade out, even though some of these promotional releases do not contain the song that follow, “Wildpeace”.

To date we are not aware of any physical copies of this release for promotion. Additionally “American Obituary” has been sent out as a promotional single in North America, separate from these promotional releases of the EP.
