Asking Alexandria Back With ‘The Black’

Asking Alexandria guitarist Ben Bruce is asking fans to join the band this fall for a “historical and once in a lifetime event.” The British metal band is helping Sumerian Records mark its 10th anniversary by hitting the road with Born Of Osiris, I See Stars, After The Burial and more.

Fans have a few more chances to catch Asking Alexandria on tour in the U.S. this summer, including tonight’s show in St. Louis. On Friday the band takes part in the “Gathering Of The Juggalos” in Thornville, Ohio. The guys return to Europe in August for headline dates and festival appearances including Reading and Leeds. The “10 Years In The Black” fall tour begins Oct. 25 in Seattle.

Asking Alexandria certainly has a lot to celebrate. Along with Sumerian Records’ anniversary, the band has a new album to show off and a new singer. We’ll let Ben Bruce tell you all about it.

“I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a tour. Not only is this our first true headliner in the US in 2 years, and not only is this our first real US headliner with Denis as our vocalist but this is also a tour celebrating the incredible 10 year journey of Sumerian Records. We couldn’t be more proud to headline such a pivotal tour package and celebration of music. This tour will include our biggest production to date and will mark the first US headline tour in support of our newest album The Black. Come join us be part of this historical and once in a lifetime event. We cannot wait to get back out on the road and play for you all. This is going to be something incredibly special. Here’s to 10 years celebrating Sumerian music. Here’s to the release of The Black. Here’s to music, and here’s to you guys. Thank you all so much for continuing to support music and for believing in us. See you all soon. Cheers.”
