Their song Apology is indeed awesome. There's also an acoustic version on the new Punk Goes Acoustic: Volume Two album, and it's fantastic. As well, listen to their song The Third Temptation of Paris; it's absolutely beautiful. Not hard at all. In fact, it's quite the opposite; I don't think there's any screaming at all in the song.

I think Alesana is a great band, but I can definitely see what many people don't like them. In fact, I used to hate music with any screaming at all, but now it's about all I listen to.
Most of the music I listen to has screaming, and I hate this band. Well maybe hate is a strong word. I just don't like music that is mediocre and generic.

Actually yeah I do hate them because they call themselves emo/screamo when they clearly are not. Forgot about that.

my purpose is so clear...I am the ax
I am the ax and this is why I must not fear the end
and when I'm gone will you forget me?
pen wears its steady course across the page
resigned to it's designs to take the hive

emptiness has darkened my eyes
as I hopelessly beg for my life to end
...tell me why...
I wish I could make you see, I wish I could make you see through the pain
through the end, I wish I could make you see the greater purpose that I have to serve...
no one else will fight...no-one else will fight...so I must
my iron eyes tell the tale
heroes always pay in their blood
I can be only this

I see the fear growing in there...
ffffffff

it sounds about as bad as it looks

I don't really understand the hate for this band. The Emptiness is one of the most beautiful story in an album i've ever heard.



If it's wrong to be a fan of these guys, than I guess i'm wrong, but I know good music and good lyrics when I hear it.

I've learned from listening to this band that the lyrics are the most important part of a post-hardcore band. They're usually very emotional, and tend to hit you deep in the heart.

If I want to be exposed to a quality story, I'll pick up a book, watch a movie, or do any number of things.... what I will not do, however, is listen to ****ty music so I can hear a story. I don't see the sense in that.

You wouldn't listen to music for a story? Most music is storytelling in music form.

This is actually pretty much what he does live, lmao.
but Dennis has gotten better with his screaming (:

actually they are "sweetcore"
the term is on Urban Dictionary


I have loved this band since 2008. With that being said, after hearing "The Emptiness" and "A Place Where The Sun Is Silent" I can understand how someone would hate them if the first songs they heard were from "On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax." I love all of their albums, of course, but their sound was so much more raw back then.

I love how they tell a story with their lyrics. They recently wrapped up their Annabel trilogy, which was one of the only reasons I was still listening to them. Around 2011 I got sick of listening to screaming music, so I didn't really listen to any screaming unless it was Alesana and even then, they got skipped on my playlist a lot. It's like I had to be in a certain mood to listen to them.
Now I'm getting back into this type of music more, when I'm not listening to alternative, but I have to say I'm glad I stuck with Alesana for so long because they've also introduced me to a great many other bands, and they put on an incredible ****ing show. Add to that the fact that the guys are immensely passionate about their music and their fans, and you've got yourself a fangirl right here.
