History

Roots, formation and Stand Up and Scream (2006–2009)

Main article: Stand Up and Scream

Ben Bruce, the band's current lead guitarist and backing vocalist, originally formed the band in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in 2006. The band's original line up consisted of completely different members compared to that of the band's lineup from 2008 and released their debut album titled The Irony of Your Perfection.[1] After realizing he wouldn't be able to achieve international success in Dubai, he moved back to England, Nottingham in 2008 and reassembled the band with new members from the local area, including lead singer Danny Worsnop, of which he had moved into his flat apartment in York.[2]

Later that year the band became a six-piece after recruiting Ryan Binns on synthesizer's, James Cassells on drums, Joe Lancaster on bass and Cameron Liddell on rhythm guitar.[3] later that year Binns decided to leave the band and in January 2009 and Lancaster also decided to leave and was replaced with Sam Bettley.[3] Lancaster later joined the metalcore band With One Last Breath.[4]

Bruce carried the name over due to not wanting to bother to come up with a brand new name, so he stuck with the old one however insists that despite having the same name it is not the same band.[1] When asked why he chose that particular name, he explained that "'Most bands have a pretty shit band name, so I just came up with something. I came up with Alexandria as a human name, because people relate to humans." although the reason for using the word 'asking' is not explained.[2]

Stand Up and Scream was recorded during Spring 2009 and was produced by Joey Sturgis.[3][5] The band signed to Sumerian Records and released their debut album on 15 September.[5] The album charted only in the US peaking at 4 in the Top Heatseekers, 24 in the Top Hard Rock Albums and 29 in the Top Independent Albums.[6] The band toured across America as a support act for the remainder of the year, supporting Evergreen Terrace along with For the Fallen Dreams and Unholy in October,[7] and Alesana along with From First to Last, The Word Alive and Memphis May Fire in November and December.[8]

Departure of Worsnop and future plans (2015–present)

On 22 January 2015, lead singer Danny Worsnop announced his departure from the band to focus on rock music with his new band We Are Harlot. He also stated that despite his departure, the band would continue touring. Lead Guitarist Ben Bruce announced that there would be a new lead singer.[64] The band have been announced as one of the acts for the 2015's Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park Festivals in Germany in early June.[65] The band also announced that they will be performing at the 2015 Vans Warped Tour with their new vocalist, who is yet to be revealed.[66] Fans reacted to news in distress as they believe he was essential to the band's sound, while others where not surprised by his career move, some going as far to say he performs better with his new band We Are Harlot than he does with Asking Alexandria.[67]

When Bruce was asked regarding the sound of the fourth album, he stated that while it will feature influences of Guns N' Roses and Van Halen it will also feature influences from modern bands such as Avenged Sevenfold and Slipknot, stating that since the third album was such an unexpected change in musical style he believes that fans will expect further experimentation on the next, therefore having less backlash from their fan base.[68] He has also stated that they started writing material for the album while on tour in summer of 2014 and had written around 18 tracks, and estimates that it will be released between July and August of 2015.[69]

Musical style

The band's music has mostly been described as metalcore, but has also been labelled heavy metal and rock. Their first two albums, 2009's Stand Up and Scream and 2011's Reckless & Relentless, are both generally considered to be metalcore albums, while their third album, 2013's From Death to Destiny (which is the last one to feature vocalist Danny Worsnop), is influenced by heavy metal and rock bands while maintaining Asking Alexandria's signature metalcore sound on certain tracks. Guitarist Ben Bruce has stated that they do not like writing music that sounds the same from album to album, which is why their musical style has changed over time.[68][70][71][72]

Lyrical style

According the Ben Bruce, the lyrical style before their second studio album Reckless and Relentless was stupid, Ben Bruce explains that before that album they simply yelled out lyrics like "fuck" and "you stupid fucking whore", and further explained that they wanted to move away from that to a more mature style with more meaning.[73] Bruce has expressed that the third album, From Death to Destiny, is the most mature album they have written lyrically, as they no longer talk about drugs and women, stating that since they had little experience before the recording of their previous albums they wrote lyrics that are immature in comparison and that From Death to Destiny is much more meaningful.[74] Danny Worsnop has explained that the lyrics are never written before entering the studio and that they are improvised during the recording of the album itself.[75]

Influences

All of the members have expressed their passion of 80s rock music, even going as far to demonstrate it in their music, such as their Life Gone Wild EP where they cover two Skid Row songs, their Under the Influence: A Tribute to the Legends of Hard Rock EP which yet again features covers from bands such as Journey, Mötley Crüe, White snake and Def Leppard, and their third studio album From Death to Destiny features a much heavier influence from said genre.[76][77][78] Common favourites from the bands consist of Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Sebastian Bach, Skid Row and Van Halen however they also take influences from modern bands such as Slipknot and Avenged Sevenfold.[79][80][81][82][83]
