I found out about Alesana about a month or two ago, and I absolutely love their music. I bought their album, On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax not long ago; it's pretty awesome.

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.

emptiness has darkened my eyes
as I hopelessly beg for my life to end
...tell me why...
my iron eyes tell the tale
heroes always pay in their blood
I can be only this

I see the fear growing in their lost eyes
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...

Too bad both of them missed this band...
