Alesana

Alesana is a very different band if you're comparing them to other post hardcore bands. They have 7 people instead of the regular 5. If you count the lead singer, they have 3 guitarists. They have come out with 1 album a year for the last 4 years in a row. This year their album will be released in early 2013. Alesana is really into dark poetry and greek myths, so their cds have been based on these things. On Frail Wings of Vanity and wax, was the album about greek myths. Where Myth Fades to Legend was based on the brothers grimm poems. The emptiness was a story they wrote themselves, but they got inspiration from Edgar Ellen Poe. Their last album was called A Place Where the Sun is Silent, and it was based on The Inferno by Dante Aligheri. These were all very good and one should hope that the next one will be as well.
