ASKING ALEXANDRIA “Dark Void” | Aussie Metal Heads Reaction 

I feel like the sound of the new album will be between their From Death to Destiny and self titled albums, which is dope

You guys are missing out HUGE not checking out The Black

Sleep token - take me back to Eden!!!

I really liked this song, it was fab.

The teaser at the end sounds good tbh

Great song, GREAT reaction! U guys missed the new song teaser through the end out there!:3 IT SOUNDS SICK

I love all their music from old to new great band!

I honestly LOVED this song... Its been on repeat since it came out and I can't wait for the other new releases from them!!!

This is easily the best song they have put out since their self title album. I am excited to see how this progresses.

i havent listened to asking alexandria since like 2010, and i know how they changed up alot but this, this is fucking amazing!

Fuckin A! Love this new song AA keeps evolving and putting out great tunes.🤘

Really like this new song & Ben Bruce has said on a podcast that Dark Void is a balance between what the new album will bring. He's said there are some heavier songs and some softer songs on the record and Dark Void kind of captures both aspects. Buzzing for what's next!

The word “heavy” in the heavy metal umbrella has 2 meanings: the first being the sound, instrumentation and vocal style. Metalheads want to hear their favorite bands do the craziest riffs, thunderous drumbeats, headbanging breakdowns and do crazy vocals to the point where you don’t know what they are saying The second meaning for “heavy” is the subject material in the song. A vast majority of songs in heavy metal deal with heavy subjects like drug use, war, suicide, cancer, mental illness, domestic violence, the whole nine yards And what Asking Alexandria is doing with “Dark Void” and the rest of their upcoming album, they are clearly doing both meanings of “heavy.” They got the riffs, they got the drumbeats, and they got the vocal style-side of “heavy.” But they also have the lyrical meaning of “heavy”, the song is about “fighting demons that live in your head and trying your hardest to be your own savior. Finding that strength to pull yourself out of the darkness.” That quote is from Ben Bruce himself on an article from Blabbermouth about the song When I saw people commenting on the band and Better Noise’s Instagram posts, “That is not heavy,” “where is the heavy?” I pretty much said to myself “Umm…did you forget the subject of songs can be heavy too?” I know this post might not make sense and might turn off a few if it does, but I had to jump in and clear the air a bit

Loved this one like many others are sayin!

Ben Bruce said that on their new record they are experimenting what they can, but this song was a teaser for heavier songs on their upcoming album. I’m stoked! Danny has some killer vocals. I’m okay with them changing! I miss their Reckless and Relentless stuff, but I completely understand as to why they had to change styles. They got older and they got wiser and sober. I’m happy for them, ya know? Other fans always seem to get upset at bands getting sober and doing their own things. I miss the way they used to make music, but I’m happier that they are doing what they love!🤘🏻

Loved the song and so sick of ppl bitching they don’t sound the same, as Ben said they were drug addicts back then, they are now clean, sober and moving on!!

Those headphone light😂

Love the new song. Tired of so many people gate keeping AA and no other band from that genre. Everyone else can change except them.

Really good track

You NEED to listen to The Black, I think it's one of their best and Dennis has a great voice.

good morning party people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the new direction there going

His vocal’s reminded me of Joshua from banks arcade.

you have to listen to „black“ !!!! great album

The album with Dennis was fire…. I’d recommend it

how have you guys not reviewed TMBTE yet??!

I HIGHLY recommend you boys check out The Black in its entirety. It’s one of the most memorable records I’ve listened to and still holds up to this day!

The scream to start the song off was classs and I assumed it would continue into the song. But a little disappointed it didn’t until the breakdown. Thought the song was decent just needed some more screaming for me.

I do miss American average / Final episode Asking.. but I'm open to new horizons from them..

I haven’t really listened to them since From Death to Destiny if I’m honest. Not sure about this - need to hear what else they’ve got

Hey boys west Aussie fan here can you boys check out some. Space of variations ??

Denis was awesome in AA I miss him tbh

The teaser gives me wage war vibes

The chorus and drums give me such a Breaking Benjamin - Blow me Away feeling

C'MON fellas react to Chaoseum 'unreal' or 'smile again' Great band bringing back Nu metal...

I'm fully with Johnny on this one, enjoy most their big, metal, almost stadium sound.. I liked this, but it didn't quite get there

Audio for your voices isn’t quite as good. Still solid video though.

Heard there’s only 1 “soft” track

The first half of the Black is easily the most top heavy AA album. If the last half was as good as those songs, they probably wouldn't have been able to top it. To me, their best work was without Danny 🤷 And most people dismiss it due to how fast Dennis was out of the band. Danny isn't an idiot though. Even when Dennis was principle song writer on them, he still wants to play them. It's anthemic, heavy, and melodic metalcore that features at least two or three songs from the 200 best metalcore songs of the 2010s.

Octanecore. Miss the days of Stand Up and Scream.

This song is full on radio jingle bell bullshit. They went mainstream, which is fine, but they are playing for a check now. They aren’t making music because they love music, that much is obvious. It’s almost what I’d call Octane-core

Why don't you stick to chasing kangaroos or something, what's going on here is there music moved foward,they progressed their sound for the first time.

danny can't physically scream an entire song anymore because of injuring his vocal cords in 2013

Meh..I find this song kinda boring unfortunately. The breakdown was alright.

It's a big fat meh from me. The comment you made about I prevail makes sense to me, i think they're one of the most uninspired bands around atm- id definitely put this song in that category. It's just.... Fine.

Would love to see you boys react to "She Must Burn"! A Deathcore band that needs more love. Powerful screams accompanied with nice melodic cleans from the female keyboardist. Check out 'Of Blood and Bone' if you please!
