To say that 2012 was a breakout year for ASKING ALEXANDRIA would be a massive understatement as the group headlined sold-out European and North American tours, which was capped off with a slot on the Rockstar Mayhem Festival emerging as one of the festival’s most talked about artists. The group closed out the year as Revolver Magazine cover feature, yet further proving their ascension to hard rock dominance.

Amidst a slew of recent speculation regarding their stability, ASKING ALEXANDRIA, undoubtedly proved to all naysayers that they are one of the genre’s most exciting, ground-breaking and heralded artists as their critically acclaimed new album, Reckless & Relentless, debuted at #9 on the Billboard Top 200 charts.

The album’s stunning debut quickly caught the attention of mainstream media across the globe resulting in their national television debut on the ABC late-night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” They spent the summer of 2011 on the Warped Tour mainstage and throughout this timeframe they also graced the covers of such major publications as Alternative Press, Guitar World and Kerrang!
