Asking Alexandria releases 'Dark Void' EP

The set features new & remixed versions of their debut single

Gold-certified British rock frontrunners Asking Alexandria are kickstarting the new year with a new EP highlighting the debut single, “Dark Void,” from their 2023 critically acclaimed album Where Do We Go From Here? via Better Noise Music. Available across digital platforms, the Dark Void EP features five tracks including the original version of “Dark Void” along with a new radio edit, a stripped-down piano version, and a Sullivan King-remixed version. The emotive and empowering single relates to those battling with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and loneliness while acknowledging the strength it takes to confront one’s inner demons and fight off negative thoughts.

“Blue Monday is coming up this Monday, January 15th,” relays bassist Sam Bettley. “Unfortunately, it’s that time of the year again where a lot of us, including myself, are facing depression, anxiety, and loneliness. I can’t stress enough how much music has helped me through these dark times. Our song ‘Dark Void’ gives an insight into how crippling these feelings can be. So put it on, turn it up, and let it be a reminder that you aren’t alone and together we can make it through!”

The EP also includes the fan-favored electronic-tinged album track “Nothing Left” which Asking Alexandira has highlighted with a new lyric video aligning with the EP’s release.

The band’s eighth album features the group’s second-ever No. 1 active rock radio single with album track “Psycho.” To date, the album has accumulated over 43 million streams and its music and lyric videos have garnered over five million YouTube views. Produced and mixed by Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, From First To Last), the album is a culmination of the band’s career, melding their flagship sound with experimental electronics.

The band spent last fall touring across the US on a co-headlining run with labelmates The Hu along with stops at several of the country’s top rock festivals such as Rocklahoma, Louder Than Life, Inkcarceration and Rock Fest. The band will continue to bring their high-energy performance to audiences across the globe throughout the year starting with a support slot on the I Wanna Be Tour from March 2-10 across Brazil with Simple Plan, A Day To Remember, The All-American Rejects, All Time Low, The Used and more, and will be seen on festival stages including Knotfest Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane) and Slam Dunk Festival (UK). The group will return to the US this spring for the All My Friends North American tour featuring support from Memphis May Fire and The Word Alive.
