Background:
Since their formation in 2006, Asking Alexandria has made notable contributions to the metal-core scene, becoming a beacon for fans during the late 2000s and early 2010s. The band faced a turning point with the departure of lead vocalist Danny Worsnop in 2015, leading to a period of musical exploration. Worsnop's return in 2017 marked a blending of the band's foundational sound with fresh, evolved undertones.
Review:
"Where Do We Go From Here?" shines as a brilliant representation of Asking Alexandria's dynamic evolution. Clocking in at 39 minutes and encompassing 11 tracks, the album serves as a musical odyssey that bridges the gap between their past and present.
Tracks like "Dark Void" delve deep, offering listeners an introspective experience that aligns with the contemplative theme of the album. In contrast, "Psycho" channels the raw energy and charisma that the band is famed for, all while showcasing their matured artistry.
While "Where Do We Go From Here?" is a standout album, there are moments where it teeters between their traditional sound and the new direction, making one wish for a tad more consistency.
Overall, "Where Do We Go From Here?" is a strong testament to Asking Alexandria's undeniable talent and adaptability. A great listen for both long-time admirers and new fans alike, it proves that the band remains a force to be reckoned with in the rock world.
