Between the three new tracks they’ve launched within the final month, Asking Alexandria cowl lots of floor musically, and Worsnop stated that is one thing followers can count on from the upcoming report.
“We’re faced with the challenge of, well, we have had such an eclectic journey through our discography that we have a lot of different kind of subgroups of fans … There are some that don’t like certain parts and others that don’t like certain parts. It’s hard to please everyone at the same time, but we’ve really tried to do that in this record and kind of have something for everyone—which is an obstacle in and of itself.”

When Chuck introduced up the Psycho Thunder tour, Worsnop received a giant smile on his face as he began to speak about making ready to tour the United States with The Hu. Much of that pleasure comes from the truth that Asking Alexandria and The Hu have not interacted a lot over time.
“We just played a festival with them, but we had to leave very early, so we didn’t get to meet them,” he stated. “We have a few more this month while we’re over in Europe. I’m sure we will get together in a room and make all the introductions, shake the babies and all of that.”
Worsnop was clearly assured that the Power Thunder tour goes to be a can’t-miss highly effective run of dates—though, as he admitted, he and his bandmates aren’t as younger as they as soon as have been.
“We’re all much older and less crazy now. Our backs hurt, we’re tired. We don’t have the energy for partying like we used to, so it’s a much more relaxed and professional environment. I think we’re petty easy to get along with these days.”
As Worsnop thought of that, he and Chuck began speaking about his early days within the band and what Asking Alexandria’s aim was years in the past.

He advised Chuck that he is grown as a songwriter and performer and he believes that the second he turns into happy with the place he’s, he’ll get stagnant and cease progressing.
