ASKING ALEXANDRIA - Empire (feat. Bingx)

[@chrisdobbin5834]

I love this album. Letting Danny explore his own passion and other artists in it that are amazing. Its 2024 and im still listening to it in its entirety. Thank you Asking Alexandria

[@TheHollowMyth]

I actually see the softer songs as a breath of fresh air, still love the hardcore screaming and hard hitting vocals but these songs make you step back and appreciate how good the song writing is. I think it's genius

I'm happy to see Asking Alexandria moving on, and evolving in their genre of music. We the fans have best of both sides, we've gotten some of the best Metal Core Albums ever created, I'm fine with how AA is turning Now. Plus it's never to late to come back to the sweet Metal Core.

From "asking" to "rapping" Alexandria real quick. That rapper's got great voice! I'm digging this genre change from the band. So far my favourite song from the album.

[@patbateman8116]

Fresh Aguacate My favs are Eve, Into The Fire, Under Denver, When The Lights Come On, Empire and Room 138. Oh yeah, and the rest of the album! This is tied with FDTD and their best album. Controversial maybe, but I don’t care. This is so so good. I kinda hope they go back to this sound. Electronic but you can still hear instruments and there are screams as well as cleans. So so so f*cking amazing! 🤘🤘

[@shawnhaney1490]

This is not at all what I was expecting from AA. However I love the way they have even loved and I absolutely love the sound, lyrics, vocals and just this album all together is a great start to a new chapter for AA. Great works boys!

But every single band is ‘evolving’. It’s not original anymore to change your style so much. This is garbage, and maybe some people liked their original 2008 stuff. So you want all bands to go pop-like?

thats your opinion cameron. it is unusual, but it does work. you may get used to it, if not, well, then it does not work for you, but thats ok.

[@MrEL91N]

Even though I actually liked this song, it doesn’t at all fit into the album. It’s also a really bad time to be trying a song like this. Most wont even give it a chance because of how things have been with the band and so they are basically wasting a potentially likeable track.

Oh look! Asking Alexandria trying to do different things, good job guys! Glad to know you've changed/grown up unlike all of your "fans" who can't hear anything different than To The Stage and Not the American Average. If you guys want to hear songs like that, listen to their old albums. If they sounded like they did in 2009, you guys would complain that they sound "too boring" now. Nothing will ever satisfy a crowd unless it's familiar and safe. -AA Fan

I'm usually much more a fan of AA's heavier songs but I really like this. Good to see the guys are mixing it up with some songs and sticking to the roots with others. They can't make every song sound the same not just for the fans but also for themselves. Would u want to play a show every night with the same songs and same vocals with the same riffs? I know I wouldn't

[@rafaelsanandres9478]

this just shows how a band could be versatile, not all screams and chugs

[@kevinbag1]

Fuck what everyone says. Bands can't stay on the brutal, metal, bandwagon forever. Yeah it's a big leap from their previous music. But this album offers diversity, and it's what they want to do. I personally love it. Stop the negativity. If any remembers, Chester Bennington hated how everyone bashed his new music, and how everyone wouldn't move one from hybrid theory. Rest his soul, look what happened to him. Just enjoy the music and stop bashing bands for changing their sound...

[@AmericaWest90]

So basically you are saying that every artist has to sell out eventually. Neat!

[@VioPLayable]

AmericaWest90 If you interpret it this way, you're a dumbass

[@noabsolution7973]

I lost you at "brutal" ............

[@phluffmasterflex2204]

August Burns Red? The Devil Wears Prada? Dance Gavin Dance? Veil Of Maya? Plenty of other examples, some probably better than what I listed, of bands that have stayed on that "bandwagon" & are still doing fine if not prospering

[@kevinbag1]

Yes saying "brutal" was an over exaggeration. Yes I 100% agree that tons of bands are progressing while still continuing to play heavier music. My point is, the band wants to play what they want, and what THEY enjoy. Many bands are doing the same: The Word Alive, BMTH, Of Mice and Men, and now AA. The song Alone in a Room literally describes that problem Danny faces. So no not every band has to sellout, I never once said that. I'm saying if a band wants to expand their music, then they should be able to do it without their fans hating them and bashing them for it. If you disagree then you're the problem...

[@colbsvox2146]
