Asking Alexandria name first Stoff album

Asking Alexandria have confirmed the name of their first album with new frontman Denis Stoff.

The Black is to be released in March, after work was all-but started again following the departure of Danny Worsnop in January this year.

Guitarist Ben Bruce recently said: “After we spent the last two years writing for this record, a lot of that ended up getting scratched when Denis joined.”

Describing the follow-up to 2013’s_ From Death To Destiny_ as being packed with “raw energy and aggression, he added: “You turn it on and you’re like, ‘Wow – they’re back.’”

Further details will be announced in due course.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
