[@chokeama3389]

Are you gonna throw out a reaction to toxic or anxiety by Attila? 👀👀

[@TobikunOuO]

sorry Nik but Danny isn't doing harsh vocals anymore since when he was doing them he literally almost ruined his voice due to doing it wrong.

[@joshslusser573]

I love MIW! And i love the single yall have put out. Been jamming it nonstop for a few days lol. Im not trying to compare MIW and AA, but both of the bands have gotten way better! Not saying yall was bad or anything, but to be a good band you have to transition in order to be better. And AA has done the same thing. They took a risk transitioned as well and the single came out to be killer af!

[@joshslusser573]

@@chokeama3389 in all honestly, they have like 5 songs that are decent. But for the rest of the songs, they are a joke to Metalcore...

It's better than their last album, they at least sound like they're having fun

I agree, that's the same thing I said.

[@loz2590]

In an interview they said it's the first time in 10 years they all got in a studio

[@YYesImCrazYY]

Still not for me at all but I guess they kinda found their new style now at least lol

[@TobikunOuO]

@@YYesImCrazYY so generic radio hard rock :|

[@iAmPrude]

Their last album wasn’t bad lol

[@gavinotoole2864]

I really hope this is the direction they go in. But i just hope they add some screaming/breakdowns in their next album like bmth's PHSH. Very short but awesome breakdowns.

[@user-dj4bu8bq5r]

danny said he wont do screams anymore, but i expect a little more aggressive vocals, like raspy yells.

[@santitheperson9416]

He's not doing those vocals anymore

[@samdur17]

There’s screams. They gave little snippets of other songs on the album.

[@nitrouscatfish5827]

[@Knowonselph]

When Ryan took a hit and blew out the smoke as it went up, the smoke in the music video went up with it...

[@AryanSMH]

it was vibe of the moment so cool!

[@roojothy9910]

i personally dig this. they seem to have found a balance between their self titled and their personals. More than enough to make good music

[@chrisortiz5563]

They've become more tempered, the sound is mature less erratic and as always Danny's vocals are amazing.

[@rapinggod9216]

for real?There is fucking 10 vocal lines behind his voice,but when there isnt then he sound like shit

[@chrisortiz5563]

@@rapinggod9216 whenever I hear him preform acoustic versions of his songs he always sounds amazing. How can you tell if they're editing his vocals? It looks and sounds like he's performing raw in certain vids. Like when he sang the acoustic version of into the fire they recorded it from inside the studio. And he sang perfect by ed sheeran for Sirius radio.

[@randallperkins7944]

So cool nik.. This is more FDTD Album vibes and it's nice to actually hear Ben and Cam play guitar for once. Danny using his voice for this kind of song, is spot on.

[@Hollowism]

Ben has always been inspired by A7X so this track makes perfect sense.

[@edward6749]

Yeah I can hear Hail to the King and Nightmare by them in the beginning

[@smarfbag8714]

Yeah I hear A7X on there that’s the first thing I thought

[@charizard4249]

i hear Avenged Sevenfold yes, but I also hear Coheed and Cambria as well

[@zaneyates98]

This is hilarious that this was posted just a few minutes ago. I searched your reaction just now.

[@NikNocturnalTwitchClips]

Just. Like. Magic! 'Phrost

[@mattpetty448]

I like that it sounds more like something off their self-titled! They probably won't go super heavy, but if you stay with the self -titled sound I'll be happy with it.

[@Glintingbeetle]

Thanks for reacting to the new A7x track!

[@skrublordnord69]

Their self titled is probably the most underrated. The black was good too

[@EatingPubes]

I was exactly the same. "Man that is a sweet guitar tone"

[@ipmk6313]

Glad to see they’re inching back towards something heavier. I know Danny has been on record saying he’s not interested in screaming, hopefully he’s walked that back or will throw us a bone on this album. The self titled IMO was a perfect mix of that old AA heavy with a new and more balanced sound. Anyway….PANOPTICON PLS?

[@Grenixity]

if u want silent planet but the reaction is silent on his twitch sure lol (cause his mic was broken while reacting)

[@artisam9484]

Hard to blame Danny really. Dude fucked up his voice doing that. His livelihood depends on his voice

[@TobikunOuO]

@@artisam9484 than he should of learned to do harsh vocals properly, that is what oli did when he almost tore his vocal chords, he went to a vocal coach that deals with harsh vocals and now he can do them properly.

[@artisam9484]

@@TobikunOuO If they don't want to make that music why would he bother? Why do people think bands should make music they personally want them to make? If you don't like it, don't listen. Fairly simple concept.

[@artisam9484]

@@TobikunOuO If anyone ever paid attention to this band they would've realised that all their inspirations really have nothing to do with screaming. This was always going to happen. Danny leaving to do his own shit should have been enough of an indicator

[@psimetric8887]

It's not Metallica guitars only, it's classical sounds guitar of the past, amazing song 🔥

[@GoodDealington]

I don’t mind this. I do miss some screaming, but I can live with this sound. Danny sounds great though

[@TSLEmmeraldEugeniaAnakJaAu]

why does Ryan always say the right things...

[@catboymikey]

Because he's just the best xD

[@guitarsNdeathstars]

Love this song! Can't wait for the new album

[@AdmiralJT]

I miss post hardcore AA but if this is where they are heading, much like how BMTH turned around, I'm okay with it

[@joeybaker8866]

I like that you get some of the older AA undertones with the synth in the back, but with a new mature sound. Danny has such a great voice that although I would love some screams and a killer breakdown I don't really need it. Interested to see what the new album will sound like. I feel like anything will be better than what they produced last.

[@ion9460]

For all the hate Danny has received over leaving the band, he has always redeemed himself with his soul and passion. People have, for the longest time, thought that Danny was forcing the band to take the Rock 'n Roll approach, but tbh, every band member wanted to change from Metalcore. It's been fantastic seeing them grow and change their sound. I wish they'd be a little more complex versus stadium rock, but Skillet has become very popular with their new-age rock formula and AA is cashing in. The song is fantastic and the message is clear. Wasn't a big fan of their 2020 album, but it's not a terrible record by any stretch. I'm hoping they'll continue to evolve and become more confident in the RnR sound versus any form in core.

[@RISKStudioProduction]

I’m just glad the boys are together making music and not strung out on drugs.

[@iAmPrude]

I don’t understand why people hate on Asking Alexandria’s sound ? Theirs always other metal bands out there lol

[@Sinted]

Same reason people hate on Opeth - they had a sound some people liked, then they drastically changed it. Anger and frustration follows. It’s a story as old as time - band decides they want to play something new or different, or they grow up and lose some of that angst and can’t find an emotional place to write that style of music anymore. Even happened to Metallica with the Black album - they got accused of being sellouts because they took on a bit more of a mainstream sound.

[@MotivGuy94]

Because they aren't the RWAR XD edgy boys from 15 years ago. This album kicks major ass. Most of the people in the chat are stuck in the past and refuses to grow up

[@Pandumz-]

First time theyve been in the studio together in over a decade doing this song /album

[@aikefarro]

I think this is the best job from them now, I been missing a lot them about several years ago

[@davidnissim589]

Finally, Ben Bruce gets to show off his skills as a lead guitarist. He's been hiding these solos for too long

[@kmk2279]

Such a crush on Ryan lol

[@ToaastyKoyote]

I personally love Danny Worsnop. Weather it's his solo stuff which I love, he CAN do country but can do rock/metal. He's a great vocalist and I am looking forward to the album

[@mattball420]

When theres no rawrs and then they slip a litte one in there out of nowhere it always seems like the heaviest one ever, even if its half assed lol

[@eightybby1886]

I hope you read this. Do some Between the Buried and Me. As a guitarist, you know Paul Waggoner and Dustie Waring are the Truth they don't get the respect they deserve in the community. Do a track off colors II please. It's fantastic and deserved a wider audeince.

[@tubadude07]

This. He has to notice Dan Briggs aka god of bass. Such a great album.

[@JCaleb]

Nik has reacted to BTBAM, he even included them in his playlist.

[@brendonlake1522]

Yeah, very catchy got a nice edginess to it. I'll go out on a limb and say I think they're borrowing a bit from 'UKcore' gang vocals a la While She Sleeps and Rammstein esque riff kind of like what Architects did on Animals throw in some A7X seasoning, I like it! Has good repayability

[@lacey12343]

This album has me so much more excited for RockVille this year 😍😍😍

[@trevorjones4652]

Just saw this dope video!

[@WilbanksUSMC]

I would call this a modern day rock ballad, and I mean that in a complimentary way.

[@adwitiyadixit]

Add some chugging 0s in the intro and we got a solid Rammestein intro/hook on our hands

[@owenyoung9915]

Hi Ryan! You and your band have amazing talent!

[@eugenesyvokon6145]

This literally sounds like any Papa Roach song from The Connection

[@SanityGoneWild]

[@BrokenSaide]

Really went from my favorite band to just hating them since Danny joined back.

[@MotivGuy94]

Lmao just grow up dude, bands mature they can't just do RWAR XD edgy boy songs for 30 years. 😂

[@elianjaku9523]

"Ben took some lessons i guess lmao" I cried when I read that message in the livechat

[@unknowngaming1432]

Recently saw this song live, and maybe it was just the atmosphere, but it felt heavier live than this version

[@ryanclark6506]

What people forget is that they’ve grown up, they’re not the angry lil kids they once were.

[@kimeklund8880]

So many awsome bands and songs in 2021 but their are two bands that just is on another level Vildhjarta with their tracks Toxin and Kaos 2 Rivers of Nihil with their tracks Clean and Focus

[@jacobturner8965]

[@robsunday6004]

[@naruto199797]

It honestly sounds like a good balance of the rock that Danny did in harlot and AA

fun song i like it. better than their last album

[@o.c.fallin3034]

Everyone complaining saying it's boomer rock, apparently don't know that Asking Alexandria started on 80's and 90's rock covers XD

[@AvEnGeD7X238]

Uhhhhh, no. And if they did, it was before the band even had half its members. But they did NOT start off by doing rock covers😂😂

[@kennethgamble5498]

They did cover a rnb song. But their whitesnake and journey covers were decent

If this is their return to metal, it's a little lame compared to BMTH's comeback

[@banjoohubilly]

hard agree

[@Mi_Ke27]

I think the issue is that Oli has never been against screaming, he was just unable due to major injuries. Danny on the other hand is very much capable but doesn't want to go any heavier. (As is perfectly portrayed by his country album)

[@user-dj4bu8bq5r]

its not a return to metal. just to heavy rock

[@hobofraggins7986]

This isn’t a return to metal. It’s just basically hard rock. Danny has the capability to scream but he grew out of the phase

[@TobikunOuO]

@@hobofraggins7986 "grew out" his country album is ass, I think his ego just went to his head.

[@leovc97]

at least it's WAY better than everything in the last album, but they can do better than this. I don't really like the new AA, but I'm ok with this style but, as I said, they can do better.

[@kattodoggo3868]

[@TRESYKES]

actaully after 3rd time its not that bad, exept for chorus every 30 seconds like a pop song. Thats kida treyr thing lol. But this doesnt work in STP and Lorna Shores times.
