ASKING ALEXANDRIA have announced that they will be releasing their third studio album this Summer via Sumerian Records. The bands NEW record is called 'From Death To Destiny' and was produced by Joey Sturgis (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, EMMURE) and it was recorded at the Foundation Recording Studios in Indiana and NRG in Hollywood.
Today (April 1), we are premiering a NEW song by AA called "The Death Of Me". The band are stoked to be able to premiere, especially after Friday's insanity. What happened? Well, a drunk driver crashed into their bus while the band was in Las Vegas. Here is what Danny Worsnop had to say about the incident:
"We are all okay besides a couple of back aches. The trailer is fucked, the bus has heavy damage and the other car he hit is destroyed".
ASKING ALEXANDRIA have announced that they have completed the production of their third studio album. The bands NEW batch of music was produced by Joey Sturgis (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, EMMURE) and it was recorded at the Foundation Recording Studios in Indiana and NRG in Hollywood. The bands as-yet-untitled album will see the light of day sometime within the next few months via Sumerian Records.
Here is what guitarist Ben Bruce told GuitarWorld.com about the direction of the bands NEW studio album: "There's a lot of heavy riffage on this record, whereas in the past we
relied more on rhythms and breakdowns," he said. "So in that respect
it's very much like old SLIPKNOT. But then the choruses and a lot of the bridges are more Rock-based, which is our MÖTLEY CRÜE side."
Bruce
was quick to add, however: "The album is by no means a regurgitation of
the Eighties. If kids buy this record thinking it's going to sound like
[MÖTLEY CRÜE's 1987 effort] 'Girls, Girls, Girls', it doesn't fucking sound like 'Girls, Girls, Girls'. It sounds like ASKING ALEXANDRIA.
"It's a lot more mature than anything we've done before. It's not so
much about partying and fucking random girls and doing drugs and stuff.
We've actually taken the time to write something that's truly meaningful
to us. The last two records were great, and we loved them, but we were
different people then. We were a lot younger and had less experience.
When you compare the albums, it will definitely show how much we've
grown."
Last Sunday (August 5th), the fifth edition of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival came to a conclusion in Hartford, Connecticut. As it is typical, the New England Metallers know how to have a good time and never let anything (especially bad weather) get in the way of their appointment with Heavy Music. It was really cool to see so many generations of music both on and off stage, gathered together in unity! This is ultimately what Mayhem Fest represents.
Ever since their inception in 2008, British Metalcorers ASKING ALEXANDRIA have been taking names day after day, town after town. While their debut album 'Stand Up and Scream' made their presence be felt within the Heavy Music world, it was their 2011 release 'Reckless & Relentless' that took the bad boys of Rock into the next level of success.
After touring with bands like GUNS N' ROSES and SKID ROW, ASKING ALEXANDRIA have proven to be ready to perform at bigger better shows. This is why the organizers of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival personally requested to have the band open the main stage for SLIPKNOT, SLAYER and MOTORHEAD at this years festivities.
ASKING ALEXANDRIA's set list for the last Mayhem Fest:
1) Welcome
2) Closure
3) Breathless
4) A Lesson Never Learned
5) To The Stage
6) Dear Insanity
7) Morte et Dabo
Right before ASKING ALEXANDRIA opened the main stage one last time at this year's Mayhem Fest, we had the chance to chat with vocalist Danny Worsnop about the bands experience at the fest. We also discussed how he has managed to overcome his addiction to drugs and the bands future plans.
