Asking Alexandria release new music video for ‘The Violence’

ASKING ALEXANDRIA have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Violence, is the brand new song from the band and it’s accompanying music video is a seven minute short film written and directed by Jensen Noen and presented by Scissor Films and Sumerian Films.

With an excellent reversal of standard horror troupes, the Tarantino-esque landscape created in short film The Violence sees humans as the infected and zombies their prey. We follow the plight of every day zombies: Cocaine Shane (Danny Worsnop), Peter (Ben Bruce), Disco Luke (Cameron Liddell), Phat Noah (James Cassells) and Waterboy Eric (Sam Bettley) as they are forced to battle the onslaught of the blood thirsty humans relentlessly hunting them down.

Speaking about the track and it’s accompanying short film, guitarist Ben Bruce says, “we are back bigger, better, louder and more insane than ever before. This single encompasses everything we have been working towards. Huge guitars, anthemic drums and some of the catchiest, most technically accomplished vocals that Danny has ever delivered, and this is only just the beginning.” Continuing from this, singer Danny Worsnop adds, “The Violence was an incredibly rewarding song to create. Ben and I both got to go way outside anything we’d done before and create something fresh and engaging. Thematically the song is about the way mainstream media and politicians manipulate and spread mistruth amongst the people to encourage and create anger, fear, division, and conflict in their quest to control and acquire power. As the history books have shown, this only goes so far before the people stand up and say enough is enough. I hope everyone enjoys what we’ve created here, we had a great time making it, and even more fun shooting the video!”
