Ashes Tomorrow announces ‘Terminal’ EP and single ‘Prey’
Ashes Tomorrow, the new solo project of former Fleischkrieg singer Richard Cranor, releases the single “Prey” and EP “Terminal” on October 31, 2026.
Ashes Tomorrow, the new dark electronic solo project of former Fleischkrieg vocalist and songwriter Richard Cranor, releases the single “Prey” and the six-track EP “Terminal” on October 31, 2026.
“Terminal” is available now for pre-order on Bandcamp, with the full EP following on major streaming platforms on November 14, 2026. The tracklist runs “Prey,” “Dominator,” “My Sweet Departed,” “Fcuked,” “When Angels Lie” and “Wildflower.” The single “Prey” arrives on streaming platforms on October 31, 2026, with an official visualizer video.
Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Cranor describes Ashes Tomorrow as a move from Fleischkrieg’s industrial metal into darkwave, EBM and synth-driven alternative music, pairing hypnotic electronic rhythms with atmospheric, melodic textures. “Terminal” is built around the double meaning of its title, a final stop or a crossroads into the unknown, with “Prey” centered on the dynamics of dominance and submission.
