Asking Alexandria have shared a new song.
After teasing the track last week on social media, The Violence finds the band moving further away from metalcore for a more alt-rock sound and arrives with an epic zombie-fest video viewable below. On releasing the clip, guitarist Ben Bruce said:
"We are back bigger, better, louder and more insane than ever before. This single encompasses everything we have been working towards. Huge guitars, anthemic drums and some of the catchiest, most technically accomplished vocals that Danny has ever delivered, and this is only just the beginning.”
Vocalist Danny Worsnop added:
"The Violence was an incredibly rewarding song to create. Ben and I both got to go way outside anything we’d done before and create something fresh and engaging. Thematically the song is about the way mainstream media and politicians manipulate and spread mistruth amongst the people to encourage and create anger, fear, division, and conflict in their quest to control and acquire power.
"As the history books have shown, this only goes so far before the people stand up and say enough is enough. I hope everyone enjoys what we’ve created here, we had a great time making it, and even more fun shooting the video!"
There's no word from the band on the follow up to 2017's eponymous album, but with a North American tour alongside Shinedown and Papa Roach just around the corner, that could all change very soon.
