British rock luminaries ASKING ALEXANDRIA have spent the past 15 years paving their way to the top league of international rock acts, garnering two #1 albums, four RIAA Gold-certified singles and a #1 Active Rock radio-charting single amongst several Top 10 landing hits. Their explosive energy has captivated fans across the globe where the band has appeared on several of the largest rock and metal festivals and on sold-out headlining arena and club shows, earning more than 8 million followers across their social media platforms. ASKING ALEXANDRIA continue to raise the bar on their anticipated eighth full-length studio album WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? due August 25 via BETTER NOISE MUSIC.

The 11-track album was produced and mixed by Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, From First To Last), and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Deftones, Metallica) and Will Borza. The album is a culmination of the band’s career, melding their flagship sound with experimental electronics while its lyrics cover the band’s trademark themes of disenchantment, loss, anxiety, and dejection. Pre-order WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? now on CD, cassette, vinyl and digital download at https://askingalexandria.ffm.to/wdwgfh.

 “‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ Is the culmination of our entire journey as a band,” shares lead guitarist Ben Bruce. “We worked really hard to incorporate every aspect of what our fans love about Asking Alexandria. We have taken elements from every single record we have ever written and pieced them all together to create one album. Our fans will find elements from ‘Stand Up and Scream,’ such as the synth-tinged breakdown on ‘Things Could Be Different,’ all the way through to ‘See What’s On The Inside’ on this album. Lyrically, the album explores themes of loss and struggle through to hope and finding your own inner strength. We are incredibly proud of this album, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

 ASKING ALEXANDRIA have today (June 16) shared the album’s electrified first official radio single “Psycho” along with releasing the vindictive, heavy-hitting track “Bad Blood across digital platforms.
 

“‘Psycho’ is one of those songs that is talking about when you feel trapped inside your own head, trapped by your own vices and your own downfalls,” explains BRUCE. “Whether it's being stuck in a relationship that doesn't work for you, or feeling like you can't stop drinking or doing drugs, or maybe you're stuck in a job that you hate, and you're just battling yourself in your own head wondering 'why am I still here? Why do I keep doing these things?'. Ultimately, at the end of the day we all feel a little bit crazy…a little bit like a Psycho. It's just a fun song that we can all relate to, and stylistically we thought to ourselves 'how do we make a song that sounds like it could live on the ‘Like A House On Fire’ album, but also like it could live on the ‘From Death to Destiny’ album?'. So musically, from a writing standpoint, it was a really enjoyable experience to meld those two eras of Asking Alexandria together and see what that might look like.”

Blood On The Dance Floor has been around for quite some time as it were and now upon their sixth album to date "Bad Blood" follows-up to "Evolution" and "The Anthem Of The Outcast" and this time around it exposes the duo in a whole another fashion.

Dahvie Vanity and Jay Von Monroe have both been known to create this electronic dance pop genre with added screams in most of their material but on "Bad Blood" Jay Von Monroe steps out of the screaming spotlight unleashing his clean cut vocal tactics only having minimal amounts of screams found upon a handful of tracks "Unchained", "Bad Blood", and "Bohemyth", 3 only 3 songs this time around contain screams which is fine but could have been better.

Having listened to a handful of Blood On The Dance Floor's material over the span of their careers again a good handful  of it did have Jay engage in his screaming methods even Dahvie got into the mix with some screaming skills here and there that to me is what really makes these guys who they are and stand out musically is that screaming essence, without it nothing is the same. As for the rest of this release it still does fall between the lines of the Blood On The Dance Floor feel and vibe keeping it original and unique having it not completely step away but branch out further into what they can do.

"Crucified By Your Lies" "Damaged" and "Something Grimm" are those tracks that the fans can recognize on previous material from "Bewitched" to "Rise And Shine", "Unforgiven", and even "Star Power" and "Yo Ho". The music is upbeat and on the edge here and there keeping the music fresh and easy if you will. It's what the fans know and the duo themselves have been known for - it just misses out on the screaming formula to keep it together.
