Asking Alexandria announced a brand new album called Where Do We Go From Here due out later this summer. Last month, the band released a new song called “Dark Void.” With the announcement of their new album comes two more brand new songs including their first official single “Psycho.”
Guitarist Ben Bruce had this to say about the song.
“‘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, and 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.”
The other new song “Bad Blood” can now be streamed on all platforms.
Earlier this week, Asking Alexandria announced a co-headlining tour with The Hu, that will feature support from Bad Wolves and Zero 9:36. The Psycho Thunder Tour will make a stop at Epic Event Center on September 27th. Tickets are officially now on sale.
In an interview with Guitar Interactive last weekend at Download festival in the UK, Danny Worsnop revealed the name of the new album. In regards to the meaning of the title, Worsnop said:
“I think it’s an internal question we all have from time to time, especially for musicians and especially ones who have been doing it 15 years. There’s always the ‘What’s next?’ We kind of passed through a generation. The industry’s different. The world’s different. And we’ve gotta figure out, how the hell is this thing working now?”
While we don’t have a release date yet, we do know that the new album is expected this fall.
