ABOUT ALESANA

The genre-defying post-hardcore band from Raleigh, North Carolina, captivates audiences with cinematic storytelling and electrifying performances. Formed in 2004 by Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, and Patrick Thompson, the band blends elements of screamo, metalcore, progressive rock, and pop punk. Known for emotionally charged lyrics and intricate compositions, Alesana draws comparisons to bands like Underoath and Chiodos.

Their unrivaled stage presence and high-energy performances engage fans like no other. Deeply rooted in literature, their artistic vision pulls from influences such as Edgar Allan Poe, Greek mythology, and Dante, particularly in the critically acclaimed Annabel Trilogy, which weaves together themes of gothic horror, romance, and suspense. This work has earned them a dedicated global fanbase.

Recently, Alesana embarked on an ambitious three-part Trilogy Tour, showcasing the Annabel Trilogy in its entirety. They have also taken the stage at major festivals including When We Were Young and Mexico’s WeMissedOurselvesFest. As they approach their 20th anniversary on October 31, 2024, the band—composed of Shawn, Dennis, Patrick, Jeremy, Shane, and Jake—remains committed to their fans, creating memorable experiences and sharing their passion for music and storytelling.
