Everlast releases new single and music video “Peace of Mind,” from his first album in eight years, Embers to Ashes. Produced by Yelawolf, and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, Embers to Ashes is out August 28 on Everlast’s own Martyr Inc Records, in partnership with Thirty Tigers and Regime Music Group.

With a music video featuring graffiti pioneer RISK, the incendiary “Peace of Mind” is a hard-earned reflection on redemption, self-awareness, and the search for meaning and integrity in a world consumed by temptation, addiction, and materialism. Everlast mixes down-home blues and epic rock, blending spiritual undertones with a powerful message of personal accountability. The song serves as both a cautionary tale and an anthem for anyone seeking purpose, redemption, and the courage to live authentically.

Nashville songwriter D-Ray, whose credits include Embers to Ashes. says: “Yela and Erik had the concept for the song. I had just walked outside to smoke, and by the time they made it to me, Yela already had a percussion vibe and melody, while Erik was starting on the verse one lyrics. The song wrote itself because I feel like we’d all seen people take what they thought was a shortcut to success, or to true peace in general, and we all related to that so much. The song is a story not only about being yourself, but also trusting what you’re capable of…forgiving and countering hate with love, without regret. These lines hit me the most:
