“We let ourselves live in the music,” Worsnop says. So, for Asking Alexandria’s new LP, they jumped in again, living as a group in the recording studio, eating meals, and sleeping there as they crafted the album. As each grew older, live performance and wielding their own sounds became important. For Bruce, it was watching his grandmother play intricate classical music on her piano, like Beethoven’s Fur Elise. For Worsnop, it was Michael Jackson (which makes sense for a lead singer). For it to feel very real and organic and like the analog albums we grew up on.”īoth Worsnop and Bruce have fond memories of being two- or three years old and discovering music in earnest, even at that age. We wanted it to feel like you were there in the room with us. “This basic goal and this was from start to finish for me,” Worsnop says, “was to create that feeling-we wanted to go in and not rely on computers, not rely on programming and external elements that aren’t us. For the lead talented singer, the goal for the new vivid, rampaging record was to regain the source of original, vast passions. “For this album in particular,” Bruce says, “we wanted to recapture what it was that made us fall in love with music in the first place when we were younger, when we first found records and put them on the first time.”īruce says he remembers being “vividly blown away” by Metallica and Guns N’ Roses, and revisiting that feeling he had with those albums made him want to bring that same jolt to Asking Alexandria’s newest offering.

That idea-that the band is comprised of humans first-may have been lost sometime back when Asking Alexandria was rising to fame and earning millions of song streams and swaths of fans. The only way we can do that is by respecting each other and not to run this or each other in the ground. That’s how we will continue to be Asking Alexandria for the next 20, 30, 40 years. “If it ever gets to the point where we need to take time off for ourselves,” Bruce says, “we’re okay with that. There is deep respect between each after traversing bumps in the road together, including the temporary loss of wailing lead singer, Danny Worsnop, who Bruce recruited originally years ago when Worsnop was still in college and posting YouTube videos to social media. upon his return to the country of his origin, says, through growing pains and different lineups over the years, the current collection of members is now the true core.
