Speaking on ASKING ALEXANDRIA's latest radio success, guitarist Ben Bruce said: "This has been one of the most exciting and fulfilling album cycles in ASKING ALEXANDRIA's history, and just to keep things interesting, we have only gone and cracked Top 10 at active rock radio. This is such a huge accomplishment and it wouldn't be possible without the INSANE amount of support you have given us. I don't have the words to express how truly grateful I am, so let me just start by saying THANK YOU. We love you."

Their singles "The Final Episode" and "Not The American Average" were both certified gold by the RIAA for sales in excess of 500,000 copies each. The music videos for those two singles alone amassed over 100 million views on YouTube. Their third full-length album, "From Death To Destiny" (2013),shot to No. 1 on the rock and metal charts in the U.K. and cracked the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 in the United States upon its release.
