With their chart-topping debut, TEMIC certainly lived up to the hype, but fans and critics are teeming with anticipation over the first two glimpses at the international prog supergroup’s mighty and magical second album.

Today, TEMIC are releasing the third advanced single from Ceiba. While heavy in the wake of loss, “Ashes” opens the album on an uplifting note by finding the strength that resides within the pain.

“Ceiba is a concept album about loss in all its various forms”, TEMIC says. “‘Ashes’ begins the album’s journey shrouded by turmoil and hopelessness. But through that struggle comes the fight for renewal and, ultimately, inner strength”.

Watch the music video for “Ashes” below:
