SLANDER, Crankdat & Asking Alexandria Merge Metal With Dubstep for ‘Kneel Before Me’
Thunder roars in the distance. A guitar crunches a repetitive rhythm as a synth moans in the night. A man’s voice croons over the building energy until, suddenly, his voice twists into a gnarled half-scream, half-growl, and there is no turning back. The drop is upon you, and there will be no mercy. So it goes with SLANDER and Crankdat’s collaborative single “Kneel Before Me,” a true stomping dub-metal hybrid that taps Asking Alexandria for sickening support.

PANG! Opens Up Their World On Calming New Single
For an artist, building a brand is an essential part of the job, despite there being no music involved. It’s a business after all, right?
