Yes he's literally told me a dozen times. He likes to please people
I've just gotten my hopes up way too many times so I won't believe it until I hear it.

Holy.... I recently listened to Ashes after a very long break and the songs I like I still like. The songs I hate, I still hate .
This is hella exciting if true!

I hope he still calls it Ashes Divide as opposed to releasing it under his name.
I hope —
a) He finally reveals why he stylised it as “ASHES dIVIDE” (remember years back he said it was something deeply personal?), and:
b) That the album title doesn’t play with my OCD like the debut did with “Alright” instead of “All Right”.
I am definitely an INTJ, @allegro. lol

^ More songs in the vein of “A Wish,” “Ritual,” “Too Late,” “Sword” and the Renholdër mix of “Denial Waits,” plz.
Billy Howerdel: Poison Flowers – out 3/4
Billy makes his solo debut with a Feb. 23 performance at #Happens Las Vegas and is also releasing a new single, “Poison Flowers” (pre-save: https://billyhowerdel.lnk.to/PoisonFlowers), on March 4 release via Alchemy Recordings/BMG.
“This new album was birthed while on tour with A Perfect Circle. A weird blend of confidence, vulnerability and mortality urgently compelled me to write a letter of sorts in the form of an album." - Billy
Joining Billy for this first live performance are Josh Freese (Just Google Him), Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails), Kaela Sinclair (M83), and Kevin Maher (Fake Shark). Tickets for the Feb. 23 Las Vegas performance are available here: https://www.eventbrite.com/.../our-lady-peace-and-billy...
Yesss, my soul can feel it!
Interesting that it’s in his own name, and not Ashes Divide.
Came here to post this and glad to see somebody already beat me to it.
I’ll definitely be at the show next week in Vegas and I’m so fucking excited ♥️
Well that came out of nowhere!
Great show tonight. The new songs are pretty electronic at times. I can’t say for sure how much because the mix from the venue wasn’t great. At certain points I can barely hear Danny’s guitar.
The upcoming single was the heaviest track from the set. New single next Friday and more to come. Billy says the album will be out in the “Spring”.
Random tidbits:
Seeing Danny Lohner and Josh Freese together was a highlight. Reminds me of the Leno performance of 3 Libras.

^ Did Billy say what any of the new song titles were before playing them? Or did you get a glimpse on a printed set list?
Just new songs? No covers or Ashes material?
Also, it looks like it's time to rename a thread as it looks like Ashes Divide is all but done
Yeah, seeing Billy, Danny, and Josh onstage together would be pretty awesome. I'm looking forward to checking out Billy's new material. I was hoping he'd keep the Ashes Divide moniker, though I always thought the "ASHES dIVIDE" stylization was kind of cheesy, like when rappers intentionally misspell words in their song titles or 1337 speak. Someone on here said that he had some kind of personally meaningful reason for the all-caps, except for the 'd,' but since we don't know what it is, that meaning is lost on us.
@sweeterthan or @ltrandazzo or @Leviathant - can one of you please rename the thread to ASHES dIVIDE / Billy Howerdel as per the above? Cheers!

I can’t remember, lol. Maybe @Jaimie can answer this.

I will work on getting track titles and probably post some clips later but the two I know were Poison Flowers and the last track was originally an Ashes Divide song called Trafficking that he re-worked to fit this new sound.

Was it only a 5 song set?
