Expect the Unexpected in "the Emptiness"

“Expect the unexpected in every way possible when experiencing explosive sextet Alesana's latest project The Emptiness. Known for their ability to weave a story into their music, the band’s third
and finest album, produced by Kris Crummett (Emarosa, Dance Gavin Dance), finds the Raleigh, NC band at their most creative... and their very best. The record, which is packaged with a 13-page short
story of the same name, perfectly blends together the distinctive Alesana sound with a new maturity and ferocity that will have peers, critics, and fans alike turning their heads. Polished with the
same dynamic that made debut full-length On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax a fresh and addictive success, The Emptiness combines killer hooks with real strings and a sharper metal edge, adding a
new depth to the unique sound the band has defined as their own.
Alesana has always focused on having an energetic and memorable live show, and the coming year sees the band expand on the raw, honest intensity of their on stage performances. Having completed tours with Chiodos, Silverstein, The Devil Wears Prada, A Day To Remember, Bayside, Mayday Parade, Drop Dead Gorgeous and Fear Before, the band is ready to continue hitting the road hard and strong,
building on their incredibly devoted national and international fanbase. With the creativity of their lyrics, the passion of their music, and the energy of their live show, there is no doubt that 2010 will be the year that Alesana truly solidifies their position in the music scene. Welcome to the all-encompassing, unforgettable experience that is The Emptiness... it will truly haunt you.”—Smartpunk

More Alesana to get you through the day

"To Be Scared By An Owl"-- On Alesana's new album "the Emptiness" out 1/26

Look at the sky as the night descends
The rain is crashing down, I've hit another dead end
Just before I let hope slip away
A shadow is revealed, the devil shows his face

I'm scared to death and have myself to blame, I'm to blame
How did we end up fighting anyway?

You know, I used to search the sky and dream of where you were
I need you by my side, we can end this together
I know I promised you the world and still I let you down
I need you by my side and together we’ll end this now

Look in my eyes! Am I shaking now?
I am all you fear, have I made myself clear?

Shut your mouth and finish what you've started
Boy, you haven't got the slightest idea
Just who I am and what I do for you
don't you see that I am trying to save you?
Shut your mouth and finish what you've started

I'm scared to death and have myself to blame, no one else
How did we end up fighting anyway?

You know, I used to search the sky and dream of where you were
I need you by my side, we can end this together
I know I promised you the world and still I let you down
I need you by my side and together we’ll end this now

As the last rays of sunlight fade, one killer chases another
Through the tangled madness of the city
A flash of steel announces the presence of his quarry
The stage is set, the night explodes...

You killed her you murderer
You have stripped me of the one that I love
Annabel, our Annabel
You have no clue what she's capable of...

I'm scared to death and have myself to blame
How did we end up fighting anyway?

You know, I used to search the sky and dream of where you were
I need you by my side, we can end this together
I know I promised you the world and still I let you down
I need you by my side and together we’ll end this now

You'd better look behind you...

Check out their studio updates! This is an inside look at how the magic happens, behind the scenes, very VIP stuff!

MERRY MERRY MERRY (day after) CHRISTMAS!!

It’s the day after Christmas! Oh how I love the white winter wonderland that exists right out my window. The smell of pine trees, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, warm hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows, and the epic Christmas dinner last night still waft around my house.

If you’re like me and have a family that just have no clue as to what constitutes a good gift, you have to surreptitiously impart to them what you want for Christmas. What did I ask for this year?? ALESANA’S NEW ALBUM “THE EMPTINESS” OF COURSE! More specifically, I asked for the bundle on Smartpunk which includes a CD with an AUTOGRAPHED BOOKLET, a sticker, a t-shirt, AND a poster!

What, you want one too?? Get it before it’s gone! http://www.smartpunk.com/alesana-emptiness-cd-t-shirt-bundle.html?SID=19f20922d3822fcc956bdb07967ebd57

Why not also suggest some tickets to see Alesana rock it out on tour with A Skylit Drive, Of Mice&Men, The Word Alive and We Came As Romanon The Emptiness Tour!!
