Asking Alexandria "Dark Void" Could Turn Me Into A Fan

[@cryogenocide]

Ngl it's nice to see someone who isn't straight up hating on new AA. I get they aren't what they used to be, but i enjoy all of their discography.

[@mmf-rules]

This track finally is getting some love, because is fire! 🤘🔥

[@Lilith_Reaver]

they’re building a sound for themselves, and i’m loving it.

[@RADIALPUDDLE]

@@Lilith_Reaver generic radio rock? they didnt make that sound though.

[@azure8696]

This is one of the few songs that I've really enjoyed from them in the last 5yrs or so, well done.

[@JustinPramis]

To radio rock for me. Glad you enjoyed it though. 🤘

[@2strokeFORever]

Me too. I quit listening to them after from death to destiny but I like this. It's more dad rockish but I can still jam it

[@EzPulsy]

They've been my favorite band for almost a decade. Except their Like a House On Fire album, I love everything they've released, whether it's heavy or not. This song bangs !

[@deniskasperovich8251]

LAHOF is great tho

[@S0L12D3]

@@deniskasperovich8251 yeah it had some decent songs on it but nothing compared to the self titled album

[@JustinPramis]

Way to radio rock for me. Glad you enjoyed though. 🤘

[@camrynd1646]

0:31 FACTS! im a fan of both old AA and new AA. They’re my favorite band and honestly my hot take is that i loved Like a House on Fire and self titled 🫣 i like both of their vibes, and this song feels like self titled mixed with See Whats on the Inside mixed with From Death to Destiny. i love it

[@johnschaffer6968]

I like AA heavy and I like this AA. I think Danny is playing to his vocal strengths more now. For an opening single I think this is good, I do believe there will be some more chunks and heavy on this album than the last one

[@sampearson2369]

I agree completely, loving this track such a great hook. If there ever was an old album for you to check out it should be from death to destiny, it’s the perfect mix between still being heavy but implementing alot of arena rock esc choruses

[@williamlambert]

i can't wait until this fall when they release their eighth album, the album is untitled right now so i can't wait to find out what it'll be called

[@alguaii272]

Nothing left It’s in their twitter And also it’s revealed when the dark void video ends with another teaser of “bury me “

[@Kideem]

I think their new stuff is pretty decent, But like Nik Nocturnal said they shouldn’t promote this as a heavy song when it isn’t all THAT heavy (at least compared to their old stuff). I love that chorus and Danny’s vocals sound pretty damn good

[@Ark_knight0]

To be fair to them, it is heavier than their newest stuff

[@kevinhuey8763]

theyre way fucking older now man lmao and this is "heavier" then what they've put out in forever lol

[@mikechartofilis]

@CruikshankSCP noone says they are gonna drop heavy music and mean it like that, they knoew exactly what they were saying

[@AndreasKingMedia]

Definitely the best I've heard of their modern stuff. Solid, a few interesting and good ideas throughout the song, and nothing that was so corny it took me out of it!

[@Pandumz-]

Remind me heavily of from death to destiny, wasnt a huge fan of the last album cycle but this one might just bring me back in

[@madboy9xx]

The heavier vocals remind me a bit of Dustin from Thrice

[@ZeeMinion]

This is probably their best track in recent memory

[@tabithajackson7758]

I've been a fan of Asking Alexandria for years especially during their Youth Gone Wild, Stand up & scream and Reckless & Relentless days. "I won't let you be the death of me I refuse to let me bring me down I won't let you make me out to be the one whos in the wrong I've lost my mind before but I'm back and I'm better than ever"

[@coltbaudoux4466]

Nik nocturnal called them octanecore and i cant stop laughing lol but the song decent. Dannys voice is angels tho

[@myotismusic5019]

Yeah idk wtf Nik was expecting tbh…

[@S0L12D3]

@@myotismusic5019 niks channel has become less quality over time. He doesn’t do true reactions anymore. And he has missed a lot of good song releases

[@shona5512]

I'm loving this, I don't care if it's not the heaviest stuff they've made. Self titled was my favourite AA album.. Danny is a talented singer, it'd be a shame to only want him to scream, so I'm glad we have songs like this where we get a bit of both.

[@S0L12D3]

It’s a step in the right direction and I really have to thank AA for doing it. They actually listened to the fans. Of course it’s not metal core but it’s damn good music!

[@nitrouscatfish5827]

Very small percentage want only scream. I agree he is in another league when it comes to singing but most of their soft rock songs arent anything special. Also the fact that while danny was married he tried to act like old aa never existed.

[@dougmitchell20]

I love the direction this is going. If this album could be a mashup between from Death to Destiny and the self titled album that would be mint.

[@alguaii272]

Yessss!!!!!!! Also the album cover looked sick !!!! Giving me skid row vibes !

[@DeanTheGuillotine]

Definitely their best song since the self titled album

[@S0L12D3]

I absolutely agree! I’m hoping this album is like that one was cause I loved that album.

[@nicksimmons8373]

We really gonna sleep on SWOTI? It's a genuinely fantastic rock album with hella emotion in most tracks

[@wheelsofmercury]

Asking Alexandria has been one of my all-time favourites since I was a teenager. I love almost all of their stuff except for, like, 3 songs off of Like A House On Fire. Their early stuff I still have nostalgia for, since I spent my teenage years listening to bands like I See Stars, Enter Shikari and later Attack Attack! (I guess you could joke that I'm one of those "crabcore" fans haha). But I've grown up and I kind of feel that AA has to a certain extent as well, so I like the new stuff, too.

[@Sikthy]

This was defo a kinder mix of all what they have done great reaction

[@mmf-rules]

Finally, a not OG reaction, just a new fan 🔥

[@codyb6849]

Such a beautiful masterpiece an I absolutely love these guys better now with Danny back an love the direction an the way these guys are going love there style sound etc phenomenal band flawless perfection all the above an I’m digging there new song a lot here love the boys

[@coreyjames9560]

Been a fan of AA for about 9 years and I honestly dont mind their new stuff, every band needs to evolve. And Danny Worsnop just cant do the screams that he used to do, but I've always said that he has some killer chops for those cleans.

[@vilgaxrecords]

I see Asking Alexandria I click. My Teenage band ❤

[@williamlambert]

me too everytime i see something Asking Alexandria i click on it i love the band

@@boxkid759 We have grown up and they have changed their sound too. I still support them .

[@SeventhCircle77]

I really enjoyed their self titled album. If the new one is close to that I’ll be happy

[@renchramos1557]

Honestly, this could be in the new spiderman across the spider verse soundtrack

[@GaffAttack09]

The best song they have put out since their self titled album. Promising start

[@kylesmith7113]

So many haters 😂 For someone who enjoyed their last record quite a bit (especially relative to their post FDTD releases) I find this fun. Anyone expecting Morte et dabo 2.0 is kidding themselves. I understand a middle ground between that, and this, exists - but I’m just happy to hear them playing with heavier tuning and more aggressive double kick patterns again. This is the first single of the record cycle… there def might be more heavys in store, but even if it’s more of this I’m content.

[@iiitzHimmy]

Thank God someone not gate keeping AA. It’s gotta so old. And yesssss, there’s a place for butt rock! Give me a good song with a banging chorus!

[@bookem5537]

I still have A Prophecy on replay

[@forthelichkingsname]

AA was one of those bands where you can be initially be a fan, or just a fan of Danny's vocals.

[@The_Billzebub]

I slept on this record because I wasn’t a fan of a lot of their new songs. Holy hell am I sorry lol. This and Bad Blood are straight 🔥🔥🔥

[@scruffynips13]

It's nice to see someone that isn't like, "omg they said they're going heavy again!" and expected them to be releasing a song like The Final Episode. There was no way they were going to do that.

[@CoolWhiz1231]

Definitely they're best song in a while

[@Austinwevo]

That title is straight 🧢. Love your reactions man!

[@xRamZx]

Felt like something is missing to me. Could be that Sumerian edge as they're now on Better Noise records.

[@borissakharov3794]

I don’t think as many people would have an issue with this song if they didn’t market it as “oH yOu WaNt A hEaVy SoNg? HoLd My BeEr”

[@Vyngraven]

Octane-core.

[@Farcry-fl4yw]

It’s definitely one of their better songs since the self title album I don’t hate the last two albums they just weren’t my favorite

[@CoolWhiz1231]

Anyone else think the chorus sounds like an evanescence song?

[@seanholeman1450]

Still waiting for the new Attila song reaction!

[@tonykolas4402]

The song isn’t bad at all. My only gripe with it was the buildup to the release. They pushed it down fans throats that it was gonna be soooo heavy. You could tell from the teasers it wasn’t going to be. It was cringy to see them trying to get the attention of their old fans back and then throw this at them. The last album skip but if you ever want some good butt rock AA “Like a House On Fire” had some solid butt rock tracks on it

[@nolankuffner3573]

Pushed it down fans throats, or promoted it as a heavier version of their arena era stuff? You and I both know that those fans have one AA album they listen to and this song could have been a song of the year from everyone but those diehards and they still wouldn't have given a damn.

[@MrNickoOD]

im actually rlly surprised you didnt listen to old AA, their second album is like my favorite crabcore album of all time

[@Pepper_Jvck]

If you go in expecting something like their old shit, you’ll be disappointed. Expect more octane core from these guys. I liked the song, the ending was definitely the strongest part of the song imo

[@FighterMindset2024]

bro, if you liked this, then you should really check out new for the fallen dreams album

[@kweezy9517]

9/10

[@rameee2589]

Will always have the first two records in my heart, but the band has gone in a direction that I just do not like. No matter how hard I try to like it. They can do what they want tho and that’s the great thing about being a musician. I will not like everything they do and I am okay with that.

[@OhAnthony]

I enjoy new AA. Listen -- not every band i listen to has to be metalcore and screaming. I enjoy clean vocals woth a good sound and chorus. Ive been a fan of AA new material and i enjoyed this song. 🤷‍♂️

[@thefransvan5966]

gotta be honest, i don't necessarily think this is a masterpiece of sort...but the crescendo and the dynamic of the song, to me, has almost no mistake whatsoever made...

[@chirondurham]

As someone who was a literal child when their first albums came out, but who got into them in high school, I don't get why people bash the new AA like it's bad. It's just different from their old stuff and that's alright. Playing the same stuff over and over must get super boring after a while.

[@bradh6529]

Love it all, i love Danny’s solo stuff too🤷🏽‍♂️

[@DooDooDaddyTV]

Wow he can't scream at all anymore, thats insane

[@S0L12D3]

This has gotta be sarcasm 😂

[@rossmusic25]

Nah man, if their early stuff didn’t turn you into a fan then this won’t either

[@brysonxd]

honestly i liked Alone Again from the last record significantly more than this

[@evdboy2]

It literally sounds like a song you’ve heard 20 times before. Nothing new and is purely octanecore. Which is fine but I wouldn’t have advertised it as them going back to being their old hardcore self.

[@storm8576]

After listening to THE BLACK for this long time, this song is nothing but a normal or even weaker song of From Death To Destiny, and this album was already weak. THE BLACK best AA album hands down

[@tristanhowell4722]

Its a good song but still a letdown considering how they marketed it

[@SeducedMonk3y]

Definitely hated this song. They said heavy and this honestly isn't heavy even for them.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. It is just boring. It is simply standard Alternative metal stuff. It does not have to be heavy to be great. KSE have some great songs that are just clean vocals and could be considered alternative metal. But here? It just does not work
