ASKING ALEXANDRIA and their latest Sumerian Records release, Stand Up And Scream, is full of swag, and has such a killer and stylistic musical direction. It’s such a fun release that’s meant to pump you up. There’s a ton of great hooks, can be epic at times, and their musical direction fuses post hardcore, metalcore, and very techno like synth arrangements together. Yes, it’s been done before in various forms, but these young brits are really onto something. Just picture Bring Me The Horizon, Alesana, and techno all in one, and ASKING ALEXANDRIA pulls it off pretty damn well.
“A Candlelit Dinner With Inamorta” is a beast! From the beginning brutality to singer Danny Worsnop’s incredibly catchy clean vocals, I see this song being ASKING ALEXANDRIA at their best. The band really stomps through the verses like no one’s business, add in some great touches of metalcore (which I like to see them do more), and the melodies are at their most memorable. With all the upbeat synth behind bruising breakdowns, the adrenaline continuously adds on. “Hey There Mr. Brooks” shows the band picking up the pace a tad, and also shows some of their more epic compositions. The song is filled with multiple breakdowns for all you moshers, and the closing with the deep synth with you guessed it, a breakdown, shows “Hey There Mr. Brooks” strongest moment. The mood swing in the closing is great, and really is an attention grabber. Stand Up And Scream closes with “When Everyday’s The Weekend” which is about having fun, partying, and living it up. I really dig the song and its message because hey, inside don’t we all try to live it up and have a good time? “When Everyday’s The Weekend” is a great song to pump up the night, and the breakdowns layered with hyper synthesized beats really set a strong and moving mood. I feel like I can both dance at the club and headbang to ASKING ALEXANDRIA and like mentioned before, they pull this style off really well!.
My one criticism is the lack of creativity in the guitar section. I mean seriously, I like breakdowns, but there are one too many. If ASKING ALEXANDRIA adds some more progressive and brutal structures (like a good majority of the Sumerian roster), I would absolutely LOVE this band. But right now, the band is young and has plenty of room to grow. ASKING ALEXANDRIA has come at the right time though, and with a rapidly growing fan base and such a killer musical direction, these guys are soon to be amongst the top of the scene.

There are certainly a destiny of details like that to extract into consideration. That is a great locale to bring up. I put up for sale the thoughts upon as general inspiration but evidently there are questions like the one you bring up where the most respected detail determination be working in virtuous considerate faith. I don?t distinguish if greatest practices comprise emerged round things like that, but I am sure-fire that your job is plainly identified as a pulchritudinous game. Both boys and girls feel the import of just a point in timeâs amusement, in the course of the rest of their lives.

To answer Joounit89's statement, when breakdowns have been used countless times before in a generic sense, then yes, it's a lack of creativity - but of course not devaluing the band, because if it fits their musical direction, I am all for it. In this case, it fits ASKING ALEXANDRIA. I mean, death metal legends Suffocation were one of the first to put breakdowns in their songs, but was never overused. Now-a-days a breakdown completes a WHOLE song - a.k.a deathcore.
Thanks for the comments, guys. I meant Sumeriancore solely by the futuristic kind of sound that takes place. Great band of course, and equally great people!
i love these boys can fuckin rock it is one of my fav cds
Of course ppl love the breakdowns, theyre pretty much the meat of any hardcore/metal sandwich today, and idk why ppl think that just becuz theres a lot of breakdowns in theyre music that it lacks creativity, breakdowns can be very much creative as any riff in a song, they just need to have some complexity and not be one that someones already done. Id give this cd a 10 out of 10 for catchiness and becuz its brutal and their drummer is a beast on a kit.
The breakdowns on this CD are a little plentiful, but that's what the scene kids want. I mean, yeah, I'm all for mosh, but when it compromises the talent your guitar players have, that's almost like a step back on the CD. With that being said, I personally adore this disc. Good wishes to them in the future.
P.S. I don't think it would be a great idea to compromise their sound to follow the Sumeriancore template.
