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.
