Album of the Week: Asking Alexandria’s self-titled

After a kick-ass concert last night that consisted of Blessthefall, Black Veil Brides, and Asking Alexandria, is it really a surprise that I would feature this album? Asking Alexandria’s self-titled record is heavily melodic from start to finish. My favorite tracks are “When the Lights Come On,” “Hopelessly Hopeful,” and “Under Denver.”

Ever since I listened to 2012’s All I Was, I have been a huge fan of his side project, Tremonti. It goes without saying that I have been eagerly awaiting the follow-up to Dust (2016) … And the wait is almost over.

This week, the announcement came that the next album, entitled A Dying Machine, will be released on June 8th. You can go here to preorder the record.

Album of the Week: Godsmack’s Awake

Awake was the first album I owned by Godsmack. I was obsessed with the title track, as well as “Greed” and “Bad Magick.” (What can I say? They did very well choosing the singles from this record!)
