Description
Since 2008, Asking Alexandria have paved a path of their own, distilling danger and excess into an equally dangerous hybrid of stadium rock ambition, metallic energy, and electronic ecstasy. Against all odds, they achieved unprecedented success earmarked by two goldcertified singles namely, ldquoFinal Episode Letrsquos Change The Channelrdquo and ldquoNot The American Averagerdquo, over a billion cumulative streams and views, and three consecutive top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200mdashReckless amp Relentless 2011, From Death to Destiny 2013, and The Black 2016. In addition to headlining packed gigs on five continents, they destroyed stages alongside Guns Nrsquo Roses, Green Day, Avenged Sevenfold, Alice In Chains, and Slipknot, to name a few.Meanwhile, 2017rsquos selftitled Asking Alexandria spawned two of the grouprsquos biggest singles to date ldquoAlone In A Roomrdquo and ldquoInto the Firerdquo.Fanning the flame like never before, the quintetmdashBen Bruce guitar, backing vocals, Danny Worsnop lead vocals, James Cassells drums, Cameron Liddell guitar, and Sam Bettley bassmdashburn even brighter on their 2020 sixth fulllength, Like A House On Fire Sumerian Records.The opening track ldquoHouse On Firerdquo introduces this chapter with a bang. Worsnop struts through stark verses towards a swaggering bridge. A sweeping and soaring chant takes hold on the chorus as guitars rage in the background.ldquoInstead of dwelling on the past, the song is about what wersquove got going on now and what wersquore sharing,rdquo Ben Bruce guitarist continues. ldquoThis band is getting on like a house on fire right now. The album is the most fun wersquove had since Stand Up and Scream. Wersquore at the top of our game. Greatness arises from the ashes. This is a selfrealization. Wersquove had ups and downs. We couldrsquove ruined everything with drugs. We had nowhere to go but rebuild. Itrsquos a reminder not to get in your own way, believe in yourself, and follow your own path.rdquo Asking Alexandria CD is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £10
