Interview with James Cassells of Asking Alexandria as they take over The Warfield in San Francisco!

February 5, 2016

Asking Alexandra recently set out on the road with Bullet For My Valentine and While She Sleeps for the “British Invasion Tour”. We were excited to catch them on the 2nd night of the tour as they made a much needed stop in San Francisco at The Warfield Theater. This was the first time that we would be catching Asking Alexandria in San Francisco performing with their new vocalist Denis Stoff. One thing is certain, they truly blew the roof off The Warfield as they came prepared to unleash their fierce heavy metal onto the SF crowd. There was no shortage of energy as the five gelled together and delivered a performance that would have any naysayers changing their tune.

With the departure of Danny Worsnop last year, it was a pinnacle moment for the band. It was one of those moments for any band, where it could either define them, destroy them or as in their case, catapult them to a whole new level. They have returned to their roots as they delved deep into the metal that started it all for them. It is definitely a rebirth of Asking Alexandria and whether you are a longtime or new fan, it is definitely a time to enjoy! Their highly anticipated new album, The Black is set for release on March 25th and will be a must have.

We had the chance to chat with drummer James Cassells before their set and are pleased to bring that interview to you here:

Their set was incredible and the crowd was fired up from start to finish. Check out some photos from our photographer, Rockin Ryan of their set:
