The UK is very well known for breaking some of rock’s most influential acts and as of 2011 you can add ASKING ALEXANDRIA’s name to this already illustrious list. In Sept. 2009, this British sensation unleashed their debut album, Stand Up and Scream and the album quickly sent shockwaves throughout the metal/hard rock underground scene. This was a propulsive blend of aggressive music with hints of European Trance, soft catchy melodies resulting in a sound more mature than just your average play by numbers hardcore outfit. Their second album Reckless and Relentless, debuted at #9 on the Billboard Top 200 and won an Independent Music Award in 2012 for The Best Metal/Hardcore Album. Their latest album “From Death to Destiny” was released in August 2013.

“Since our formation, we have toured all over the world, released 3 studio albums album and made the most amazing friends and fans along the way. We have absolutely no intentions of slowing down.” says Ben Bruce, guitarist of ASKING ALEXANDRIA.
