Alesana 11/17/2010

I went to see Alesana at The Met on November 17th.
They played along with Our Last Night, Vampires Everywhere, Honor Bright, and Sleep City. I missed most of Sleep City, but I liked what I heard. As the lead singer of Honor Bright said "They're like Emarosa without a drunk lead singer".

Honor Bright was pretty good for what they play. I'd say they were kind of pop punk with some southern rock influences. Not really my kind of music but I respect it.

Vampires Everywhere really surprised me. Before the show I didn't really like them. But live, they sounded a lot better. I guess they're one of those bands that sounds better live.

Our Last Night was probably the heaviest band of the night. They're like hardcore with lots of melody. I thought they were really good. Lots of energy. If the crowd was bigger it would have been crazy.

Now Alesana was great. They played almost all of their first full length album. Which was really cool because last time I saw them they played their latest album in its entirety. They always have so much energy. And Dennis, their screamer is just nuts. The conversations between him and Shawn were quite funny. If you like this type of music I recommend seeing them.

Here's some photos of Alesana from the show:

New Chiodos song "Those Who Slay Together, Stay Together."

Recently one of my favorite bands, Chiodos parted ways with their singer. I honestly thought he couldn't be replaced. How stupid was I? They replaced him. And last week they released a new song featuring the new singer. It might be their best song yet.

So, I noticed I never do anything I say i'm going to do for this blog. I'm just going to stop planning to do things and just do whatever comes to mind. I'll probably do more this way.

I might as well use this blog for something and not let it waste away. So I guess i'll post some stuff about albums i'm pretty excited for.

Whitechapel, a death metal band from Knoxville, Tennessee has an album set to be released on June 8th, 2010. This album is titled "A New Era Of Corruption." You can hear a new song from the album here: http://www.myspace.com/whitechapel And view the cover art below.





Also, I recently listened to the latest album from Bullet For My Valentine titled "Fever" It was pretty awesome in my eyes. I'd say that the best songs from the album are Your Betrayal, Fever, The Last Fight, Pleasure and Pain, and Begging For Mercy. You can view the album cover below, as well as the music video for The Last Fight. Enjoy.

Alesana - The Thespian

This is the newest Alesana music video. I think it's pretty awesome. I love the part where the girl is covered in blood crawling after the guy. Pretty creepy haha.

I existed because I dreamed. And well, I dream no more.

So, I haven't updated this in a while. I'm not really sure what i'll be doing on here. I might do reviews of shows I go to from time to time. Currently i'm trying to get to one or two in April. I'll most likely make it to at least one of them. The first show is on April 12th at The House Of Blues in Boston. The bands consist of A Day To Remember, August Burns Red, Silverstein, and Enter Shikari. The second show is on April 30th at The Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts. And the bands playing this show are Bullet For My Valentine, Chiodos, and Airbourne. Hopefully i can get to these shows. But for now thats all.
