There's new music coming from Asking Alexandria, and you can hear a sample of what's to come by dialing 1-424-373-VLNC (1-424-373-8562).

The British metalcore group tweeted a cryptic video clip of a small television unit bearing the number to dial. The audio from the video does not reveal any music, just an emergency alert sound. When dialing the Compton, California, area number, however, a voice greets you, saying, "Welcome, due to the high volume of callers we need to place you on a brief hold. Please stay on the line," before a garage-rock riff takeover.

The riff cuts out after a moment and the robotic voice returns, cautioning, "Lock your doors and stay inside. Stay alert. Prepare yourself — the violence is coming. You'll be hearing from us shortly."

In a "you're gonna die in seven days" The Ring-like moment, a follow-up text is sent from the aforementioned phone number, imploring fans to sign up for updates. The text reads, "The violence is coming...Submit your info to not miss any updates," and supplies a link to click to enroll in future updates.

All that is required is your first and last name, email address, phone number, city, gender and birthday to add your contact info to Asking Alexandria's phonebook.

We'll have more updates as we receive them.
