Review

Asking Alexandria rockets onto the metalcore scene with their debut album, "Stand Up and Scream," released on September 15, 2009, through Sumerian Records. Like a comet blazing through the sky, this release illuminates the genre with a fiery blend of melodic metalcore infused with trance, techno, and pop elements. With Joey Sturgis at the production helm, the album paints an energetic picture filled with cosmic intensity and musical innovation.

The band's astronomical creativity shines bright across 13 tracks, seamlessly shifting from death growls to clean vocals, all while crafting catchy riffs and dynamic synthesizer grooves. Songs like "Final Episode (Let’s Change the Channel)" and "A Candlelit Dinner with Inamorta" demonstrate their technical finesse and palpable energy. The use of staccato guitar riffs combined with drop-tuned breakdowns lifts the listener to vast heights, while the electronic layers add a nebular shimmer.

The lyrics explore a universe of angst, rebellion, and personal struggle, resonating deeply with early metalcore fans. Tracks such as "Nobody Don't Dance No More" and "A Prophecy" balance aggressive soundscapes with melodious eddies, inviting listeners on an introspective journey. Ultimately, "Stand Up and Scream" establishes Asking Alexandria as a dynamic force, leaving listeners eager to see where their sonic odyssey will take them next. - Nova
