Asking Alexandria are heading straight towards a new era in some style. They are scheduled to release their new album, Where Do We Go From Here, this Summer via Better Noise Music. And based on the teaser tracks that they are sharing now, it’s going to be an all-encompassing epic. Pulling from every piece of their story to date, they are intent on making every sort of fan happy in some way.
To up the ante, they have shared two new tracks, and they are pretty amazing. First up, there’s “Psycho”. An off-kilter piece of rock and roll rage that leaps and bounds between head-mangling noise and stark soul. It’s modern hard rock wrapped in classic post-hardcore brute force.

And then there is “Bad Blood”, which is just a straight-up bruiser. Pushing all of the heaviest buttons the band have at their disposal and forcing them down your throat, it is quintessential Asking in all the best ways. And anybody who has missed those incredible Danny Worsnop screams, you’re in for a treat. Furious, fun and fantastically dramatic, it’s a throwback as much as it is a step forward.
Guitarist Ben Bruce had this to say about it:
“‘Psycho’ is one of those songs that is talking about when you feel trapped inside your own head. Trapped by your own vices and your own downfalls. Whether it’s being stuck in a relationship that doesn’t work for you, or feeling like you can’t stop drinking or doing drugs, or maybe you’re stuck in a job that you hate, and you’re just battling yourself in your own head wondering ‘why am I still here? Why do I keep doing these things?’.
Ultimately, at the end of the day we all feel a little bit crazy…a little bit like a Psycho. It’s just a fun song that we can all relate to. Stylistically we thought to ourselves, ‘how do we make a song that sounds like it could live on the ‘Like A House On Fire’ album but also like it could live on the ‘From Death to Destiny’ album?’. So musically, from a writing standpoint, it was a really enjoyable experience to meld those two eras of Asking Alexandria together and see what that might look like.”
