Everlast ‘Embers To Ashes’ is officially on the way, marking the GRAMMY winning artist’s first album in eight years, with the record set to land August 28th via his own Martyr Inc Records.
Alongside the announcement, Everlast has released new single ‘My Hollywood’ (below), offering another glimpse into a record shaped by loss, survival, and the kind of lived in perspective that’s always defined his work.
A Decade Poured Into One Record
‘Embers To Ashes’ isn’t just a comeback album, it’s a reflection of a turbulent stretch that saw Everlast’s life shift in ways that can’t really be ignored or softened.
From losing his Los Angeles home in the 2018 Woolsey fire to navigating divorce and the fallout of the pandemic, the record pulls from a decade that didn’t exactly let up, in his own words (per press release):
“the album is a collection of songs that revolve around my last decade, not necessarily autobiographical but ‘inspired by’ the chaos, losses and a few wins.”
That balance between personal truth and storytelling has always been where Everlast hits hardest.
Yelawolf Steps In Behind The Boards
Production on the album comes from Yelawolf, with mixing handled by Chris Lord Alge, giving the project a grounded but polished edge, the collaboration has been a long time coming, tracing back to a chance meeting in Berlin years ago that finally came full circle in Nashville.
Sonically, ‘Embers To Ashes’ leans into Americana, blues, and roots rock textures, a lane Everlast has been refining since long after the House of Pain days.
‘My Hollywood’ Takes A Different Angle
While earlier single ‘Stones’ dug into heavier emotional territory, ‘My Hollywood’ flips the tone slightly, taking a more reflective look at the highs and lows of life in the spotlight.

It doesn’t ignore the cracks, it just approaches them differently, across the full tracklist, Everlast moves between personal reflection and wider commentary, touching on everything from heartbreak to social unrest, without ever losing that grounded, narrative driven style.
Still Telling It Straight
There’s a reason Everlast’s catalogue has held up across decades, whether it’s ‘Jump Around’ or ‘What It’s Like’, he’s always had a way of cutting through to something real, ‘Embers To Ashes’ doesn’t feel like a reinvention, it feels like a continuation, shaped by time and whatever it leaves behind.
