TEMIC have released ‘Ashes’, the third advance track from their second album Ceiba, which is scheduled for October 2, 2026 through Season of Mist.
The song opens the record’s wider concept around loss, grief and renewal with one of the album’s heavier arrangements. The international progressive metal group pair dense guitar work and forceful drumming with a more melodic chorus, keeping the technical side of the band tied closely to the emotional direction of the record.
Ceiba follows TEMIC’s 2023 debut Terror Management Theory. The band features musicians with backgrounds in projects connected to Devin Townsend, Haken, Shining, Neal Morse Band, Maraton and Big City.
‘Ashes’ arrives with a new video
The official video was filmed during TEMIC’s 2026 appearance on Cruise to the Edge and directed and edited by Cesar Mendiburu. The footage captures the band in a live setting rather than presenting the track as a studio-only release.
The album will be available digitally, on CD and in multiple vinyl editions. TEMIC are also set to tour Europe in October and early November with Kingcrow on selected dates.
Ceiba arrives October 2, 2026 via Season of Mist.
