Asking Alexandria To Release Sixth LP 'Like A House On Fire' In May, Share New Track Antisocialist

Written by Jon Stickler
Asking Alexandria have announced their sixth studio album.
The Yorkshire quintet will drop 'Like A House on Fire' on May 15 via Sumerian Records. Recorded throughout 2019, the 15-track album was produced by Matt Good, who also helmed the band's 2017's self-titled effort.
Today the band have shared the record's artwork and tracklist, as well as a new song, Antisocialist, which comes with a video viewable below. The melodic, radio friendly rock track is much softer than what we're used to hearing from them and follows the previously shared cuts They Don't Want What We Want (And They Don't Care) and the Violence, which arrived last summer.
Speaking about the album, guitarist Ben Bruce said:
"We have been working our asses off for the last couple of years on creating this album. We are absolutely in love with what we have created. There are songs about triumph, strength and resilience. There are songs about losing love, losing passion and losing faith. There are songs about moving on to new things and song’s celebrating our journey. This album is filled with love and passion from the five original members of Asking Alexandria."
Discussing Antisocialist, he added: "Antisocialist is a song written for everyone who just wants to stick their middle fingers up high in the air and scream at the top of their lungs. It's a song for the frustrated, the forgotten, the unappreciated and the downtrodden. It's a song for those who work hard and receive nothing in return. It’s a song for those who dream hard and are laughed at. A song that says what we all feel from time to time and a song to just let loose to! Enjoy!"
Asking Alexandria will embark on a previously announced 23-date North American tour this spring, kicking off on April 30 in Phoenix. They'll be joined on the run by Falling in Reverse, Wage War and Hyro the Hero.
