Metalcore has always been about the pursuit of extremity. Furious tempos, warp-speed guitar shredding and painful throat-shearing were the hallmarks of the sound.

Alex Gaskarth has been keeping plenty busy between All Time Low and Simple Creatures, but that’s not to say he doesn’t have time to try something new.
