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

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.
