From Death to Destiny

From Death to Destiny is the third studio album by English rock band Asking Alexandria.

[12] When the album was released, the first track, "Don't Pray for Me", the commotion is audible from video recording in Seattle during a live performance, when band member Ben asked the audience to vote for Danny to go to rehab.

The song made its live debut on 8 August 2012, at the PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey,[14] a side-stop show from the Mayhem Festival consisting only of As I Lay Dying, Asking Alexandria, and Slipknot.

On 12 July 2013, Sumerian Records released a full album preview via YouTube which features snippets of all tracks on the standard edition of the album the same night as the band played on the TV show Guitar Center Sessions and revealed that Howard Jones is a guest vocalist on the 12th track "Until the End".

[18] AllMusic wrote that the album showed a maturation of the band, a move away from simplistic "girls and drugs" metalcore to produce a more personal hard rock album which showed post-grunge influence, with the metalcore parts "smoothed down considerably".

[2] Reflecting on the album in a 2016 interview with Alternative Press, guitarist Ben Bruce commented on the significant change in atmosphere upon recording their newest record, The Black, in comparison to From Death to Destiny, stating he felt the band were "in a different mindset than we were for From Death to Destiny.

[On] From Death to Destiny, Danny just flat out refused to sing or scream over the songs we would write, so we had to make some huge compromises with that record.
