  the songs YOU have chosen are...

  posted by matt

  so the results are in! it was a very, very close race but in the end it was four songs that received the most votes

  in slot three, even after adding Beautiful In Blue into the mix, it was still RED AND DYING EVENING that received the most votes

  in slot two, despite a strong push for Daggers Speak Louder Than Words, it was one of our favorites ALCHEMY SOUNDED GOOD AT THE TIME that won

  *i will say that those of you who voted for Nero's Decay were the most convincing as far as how excited you were (which excited me because its my favorite alesana song of all time) but there just weren't enough votes :(

  and in slot one, by far the closest race of the three slots, we ended up having to choose two songs because it was simply too close to call: PATHETIC, ORDINARY AND THE LAST THREE LETTERS

  so there you have it! the songs YOU have chosen are:

  PATHETIC, ORDINARY
  THE LAST THREE LETTERS
  ALCHEMY SOUNDED GOOD AT THE TIME
  RED AND DYING EVENING

  you can expect to hear these four songs and 2 BRAND NEW SONGS this september and december when we come to your city!! (and before you even ask, yes OF COURSE we are playing more than six songs :-p )

  thanks everyone!

  there are three different slots in the set where we will play what you pick. you will have three songs to choose from in each slot so be sure to pick one song from each group in your response!!

  slot one:

  A SIREN'S SOLILOQUY
  PATHETIC, ORDINARY
  THE LAST THREE LETTERS

  slot two:

  ALCHEMY SOUNDED GOOD AT THE TIME
  NERO'S DECAY
  DAGGERS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

  and even though we have played these songs more recently, we still want you to choose from these three as well!

  GOODBYE, GOODNIGHT, FOR GOOD
  ENDINGS WITHOUT STORIES
  RED AND DYING EVENING

  thank you everyone! we look very forward to seeing what you want to hear!!

  and the new alesana story shall be...

  posted by matt

  hello everyone, i hope you are all doing well...

  well it is that time to begin talking about our new record! we just finished up in the studio with producer Kris Crummett and we are BEYOND excited. however excited we have been in the past about any of our records, simply multiply that by 100,000,000 and that is how excited we are!!! there are so many surprises on this record and we could not be more proud of the results!

  everyone has waited so patiently to learn of the name of our new work and we are proud to inform you that the new alesana story is called:

  THE EMPTINESS

  this collection of songs is way more than just a record... it is an experience. it is the story dennis and myself have been wanting to write since day one and our dream has finally come to be. as each day, week, month passes little pieces of our adventure will start to come clear until the day the story is released in january. we know you will be just as thrilled as we are once you close your eyes and join us in our adventure...the emptiness will haunt you...

  we are hitting the road this september with our friends The Bled, Enter Shikari, Asking Alexandria, and Broadway and YES we will be playing some new material. please come out and rock the stage with us! for those of you on the west coast, we will be seeing you in december when we will also be playing some new songs!!

  finally, it has been quite awhile since we put a different song on our myspace page so today we decided to do it!

  "Obsession Is Such An Ugly Word" was our favorite track off of the last record, "Where Myth Fades To Legend" so we figured why not put it here on myspace! pimp it out and add it to your profile players everyone!!

  as always, thank you for the love and support! we could not continue doing this is it was not for our amazing fans!!

  xoxo shawn and alesana
