Asking Alexandria
Asking Alexander was founded by guitarist Ben Bruce in Dubai of all
places, with a lineup eventually coming together that produced a debut
EP in 2006 and an LP in 2007, both relatively obscure.
He then decided to scrap the lineup and move to England, where he
put together an all-new band retaining the Alexandria name, and the
resulting lineup is where the more formal history of the band starts.
As heard on 2013's
From Death To Destiny , Asking Alexandria is a polished
modern metalcore band, featuring the standard trademarks of the genre
(hardcore verse vocals, clean chorus vocals, hardened guitars, etc.).
There's nothing that really stretches genre boundaries here, but the
band represents metalcore as well as anyone and they've managed a solid
career.
