I feel like the sound of the new album will be between their From Death to Destiny and self titled albums, which is dope
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
You guys are missing out HUGE not checking out The Black
Sleep token - take me back to Eden!!!
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!!!
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.🤘
This is easily the best song they have put out since their self title album. I am excited to see how this progresses.
Which isn’t saying much.
Loved this one like many others are sayin!
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!
I saw that interview too and he says things much more clearly than danny just saying we arent making heavy songs again . Ben gave a reason and is trying to please both old and new fans and explained why danny cannot scream as much as he used too
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!!
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
Really good track
Those headphone light😂
I like the new direction there going
His vocal’s reminded me of Joshua from banks arcade.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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??!
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.
No disrespect to your opinion, but I feel like the music they made that deviated from their sound was so objectively missing the mark, it was hard to justify that genre shift. If you ask me, their 2017 self titled was their perfect way to incorporate new sounds while still retaining their identity.
@@calebboik909 ok.
Most people/fans don't care that they aren't actually heavy or changed sounds. It's that the music is bland and forgettable. Just look at BMTH changing it up constantly to positive reception.
Not gate keeping. I think people are more irritated by the fact they said “heavy” there’s nothing heavy at all about this really. Even the “breakdown” was mediocre at best lol
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.
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!
She must burn is such a great band!!
@@jxwsportdude1336 100% agree! Love both versions of the band too. New and old vocalists. Glad to find a fan!
I do miss American average / Final episode Asking.. but I'm open to new horizons from them..
Stand up and Scream was there best album IMO, but i agree.
Polar opposite for me. There's a lot of music that is way heavier than SUAS that I enjoy listening to, but aside from 1 or two songs from that album, the songwriting is very immature to me.
Hey boys west Aussie fan here can you boys check out some. Space of variations ??
The teaser gives me wage war vibes
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
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 sound of the album is good, but the lyrics throughout the whole album are so cringe. It’s like it was written by a 12 year old
@@ftheman1108 The album was written by the same person every AA album was written by, though; Ben Bruce.
@@shona5512 Danny writes the majority of their lyrics. The Black was mostly Ben but a bit of Denis the old vocalist.
100% agree, not a big fan of AA in general but The Black is one of my top 3/5 albums on Metalcore thanks to the voice of Dennis. This album represents what Dennis could have achieved if he had some sort of stability (guy seems to be difficult to work with..)
@@shona5512 I would love to hear what he had written originally then before re-writing, I'm also pretty positive Dennis helped write a good amount of the lyrics as well. Also Danny writes a good amount of songs too
Denis was awesome in AA I miss him tbh
He was good. But I think Danny is a better all round vocalist for AA. But I like both. I think Denis Stoff is better in Drag Me Out doing his own thing.
C'MON fellas react to Chaoseum 'unreal' or 'smile again'
Great band bringing back Nu metal...
The chorus and drums give me such a Breaking Benjamin - Blow me Away feeling
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.
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
Heard there’s only 1 “soft” track
Audio for your voices isn’t quite as good. Still solid video though.
Glad you can tell the difference too. I thought it was I didn’t have my hearing aides in but volume was low and a tad almost scratchy.
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
danny can't physically scream an entire song anymore because of injuring his vocal cords in 2013
Danny's disproved that a few times on stream.. he can do it, he just doesn't want to. He's also admitted that he doesn't feel like he's very good at mid-high screams, but could always do lows very easily without causing any issues.
Go listen to him sing you're a mean one Mr.grinch with Jared dines. If I am not mistaken it came out 2020 or 2021 and he did amazing on his screams
@@shona5512 Ben said he physically can't constantly scream
if it wasn't true he'd be screaming more than he is currently i'm not going to argue with you, the vocal cord injury is the cause of his not constantly screaming and not wanting too just fkn accept it, if he injuries it seriously bad again his musical career is done
@@WilliamHickerson-qu2je sorry for the delay in response to this...i did see that and i didn't say he couldn't scream at all. what i said he can't constantly on everything like he did on "stand up and scream" and "reckless & relentless"
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.
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.
