Honestly I'm starting to think they are the greatest Metalcore band of all time... The cleans, the lyrics, the screams, the instrumentals. Everything is done so perfectly. Are there other great Metalcore bands out there? Of course but these guys easily take the cake. I will never get tired of this album. Been a fan since I was 13 and that'll never change.
2018 and i've kept hearing Alesana, it's helped since 2012 whenever i get angry or i feel sad or the uncertanty is bothering me, almost no one can understand and the only one who is not close to me but at least this one and its music has helped, thank Alesana.
Depending how you see it for example i am actually a boy and i hear them because i like the music they play and there are fans Who like alesana because these fans think the members of the band are handsome and there are fans (like me) Who like alesana because how they play music
90% of bans these days are lyrically impared and the only reason they get fangirls is cause its some tall asshole covered in tattoos and has long hair....music has died sadly. But bands like this deserve the fans you got that right.
Im a fangirl of their music. I dont give a shit about how they look I love the screams and how their music sounds. I barely even know what they look like I'm just a sucker for the music they make.
I love how so many lyrics by alesana sound like they're umm.. gonna 'do it hard core' ;) like 'I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure stranges me' and 'you should know I'm dangerous, my thirst for blood, turns me on'. Alesana. is one of the best bands ever :)
I'm revisiting this band from when I was younger and I'm slowly realizing how cringy my edgelord phase was. I still enjoy the music, and the lyrics are great... But it's still... so.... edgey.
BMTH chose to change so they don't sound the same all the time, they want to be music diverse. They trend in every album they make. Is Alesana better than them? No...But they aren't any worse cause Alesana's albums are written by lyrical geniuses with great performances.
I don't quite know how to describe this song. It's so amazing. I'm serious i hear this song everyday. Ever since this album came out..this is always what i hear first. I'm never going to get tired of this. amazing lyrics, spine-tingling vocals and just a great band period. God I love this.
I saw them at south by so what and they played, this, the murderer, congratulations i hate you, and a few others. I think this was the best song they played.
2015 and still hearing this song cx This is the 2nd band that I've realized that I'm greatly different from my family. Still love this song till this day.
How the fuck does these new youtube comments works.... Anyway: Alden, I'm 18, and my favorites band are Death, Morbid Angel, Archspire, sometime Brain Drill when I don't care about musicality, Whitechapel, Suicide Silence and Carnifex. Pretty far from emo music XD And yeah that's kind of anoying, pretty much for any "smooth" metal band(compared to other metal subgenre). You're not alone!
This song, the whole album even, some of the lyrics are so fucking artistic. A lot of the bands from this era that I had indulged in high school have failed to stand the test of time for me, but Alesana will be forever beautiful.
i've noticed that in a lot of The Emptiness songs, they say "the emptiness will haunt you" they say it in The Thespian, Curse of the Virgin Canvas, Hymn of the Shameless ... and it's right, this album's songs truly do haunt you :D great job Alesana
" I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me. I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain and fantasy. Oh the visions inside my head...the emptyness will haunt you. Sanity it slowly slipping from my hands now. I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed. Oh, what little regret I have...Does that make me a killer?" I love Alesana sooooo much! Can they're music get any better! Yes i beleave it can!
Calm consumes me, I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me, I taste the tears of sweet indulgence pain and fantasy, oh the visions inside my head. The emptiness will haunt you, Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now, I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed, oh what little regret I have, does that make me a killer? Some of the best lyrics ever written, it's like it explains me to myself idk
I started listening to Alesana when I was 8 I’m 18 now I’ve always gone back to them when I felt sick I would always feel better after listening to them for a while
This song is great. Absolutely puts me in that mellow, deep feeling mood. I'm personally sick of the 12 year-old scene kids taking over Alesana's fanbase though. Any others?
Wow, I can not get enough of this song ever. Literally, some of the best lyrics I have ever heard. One of their greatest albums to date. Could they get any better, I think so!
This band is really good, the song is really great, the story Line they tie in through every song is absolutely and incredibly AMAZING! I love so many different kinds of bands and music, but this group has painted such a wonderfully haunting picture through each song as a full story its almost a shame they aren't famous. I can only imagine if they made a movie or film through these albums. Absolutely obsessed!
"I close my eyes and once again the pleasure stangles me. I taste the tears of swet indulgence, pain, and fantasy" I love the chorus. it is just amazing!
He has a beautiful voice, but the screamo part sounds kind of like oink oink over and over. Tbh it might be my headphones but anyway I can't help but laugh xD
Svea Caston Actually, at least according to wikipedia, there is a singer for female vocals that has been with the band since 2006, named Melissa Mike. This album, The Emptiness, was published in 2010, so it could still be a girl singing those parts. She is listed too under additional musicians for the album. It could still be a boy, though. But it just sounds like a girl to me. I'm hoping it is because really we need more deeper voiced females in music.
***** Really? Funny, he sounds like a deep-voiced girl to me. What proof do you have of this? Not trying to be antagonistic, I just wanna know how you know this stuff.
I love Alesana and Its 2018. I guess they're music just sticks on me. I remember when they released their first album. Who agrees that the music back then is way better than the crap today (Some of the stuff today is good).
Alesana my fav band in this fucking world! and this song! my fav part: " I immerse myself in sick reflection... I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me. I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain and fantasy. Oh, the visions inside my head... The emptiness will haunt you... " Awesome Corus with Dennis Scream and Shawn beautiful voices + Annabel! OMG AWESOME! This is not song this is creativity. Alesana 4EVER!
This album tears me away from the fabric of this world, I don’t feel I came back after experiencing this masterpiece. RIP Annabel. Everything happens for a reason
people say that you have to be emo/gothic to listen to music like this well, i disagree. im just me and one of my friends showed me this band and omfg dljfdjhæjldksw
@guaraches1 Not Metal. Metal is like Metallica , or more bands like that. And you shouldn't judge a band by the genre , some of an artist's album may be metal , some of it heavy metal , and some of it grindcore , so in response to you question , they're songs are based by genre , not the band really.
i love this song but to understand the lyrics we must listen to all the album. this lyrics means ... The Artist does not regret what he has done, but he sees Annabel everywhere. Then he runs out of the town only to later end up back in his front yard, and to run into a suprise...
I think he's a genre of racist. He hates the diference between humans and when one guy is not like the others he gonna judge this guy and insult him because he's not like everybody. NO I'M NOT CRAZY, I UNDERSTAND ME. :')
Screamo. In metal, we have: Metalcore, Deathcore, Screamo, Deathmetal, Gothic Metal.... I'm wrong ? I don't know with that.. I just know that Alesana is a fucking awesome band and I fucking love their songs.
@TylerJaden24 Listen to their album "On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax" for they scream more in that if you like lots of screaming. Still a good bit of clean vocals. Maybe Alesana is not your type of band.
don't know this does also reminds me of death the kid from the soul eater anime and beautiful in blue because of the grim reaper feeling it give s me it reminds me of death elesana is a great band :)
@EnmanuelDrummer Well their lead singer Shawn Milke is a largely falsetto singer, but they do have guest female vocals in some of their songs. Those are done by Melissa Milke, his sister.
@7h3tSLDR02 it wasnt based off of it the storys completely different, it was just influenced by it and they named the one song "in her tomb at the sounding sea" after the last line!
@ScarredandLoved ...which was based off of a poem. It's called Annabel Lee. Hence in their songs the girl is named Annabel? Yes, they did write a shortstory, but the made it FROM the poem.
@screamingbearman45 maybe we don't need to fight against pop music. what does it even matter to you? if you like a song, you like it. It doesn't have to have a lot of views to be good.
@Cabadass2013 Actually if you look at it, it does fit in the sentence because since it is consumes then the washed needs to be washes since it's present tense they both have to agree.
Only Alesana Can Make A Whole Album Based On A Single Poem
Honestly I'm starting to think they are the greatest Metalcore band of all time... The cleans, the lyrics, the screams, the instrumentals. Everything is done so perfectly. Are there other great Metalcore bands out there? Of course but these guys easily take the cake. I will never get tired of this album. Been a fan since I was 13 and that'll never change.
30 now and been a fan for the past 12 years! Never liked music like this and still one of the only metal core bands I enjoy.
I was 16 when I first listened to Alesana. Now I'm 28 and I'm still inlove 😍
Amen sister, AMEN.
theres no way alesana can top this song. and im completely okay with that. its such a masterpiece
jacob guill What?
It’s a masterpiece
the lyrics ... errrthing
2018 and i've kept hearing Alesana, it's helped since 2012 whenever i get angry or i feel sad or the uncertanty is bothering me, almost no one can understand and the only one who is not close to me but at least this one and its music has helped, thank Alesana.
2017 and I am still in love with Alesana. Their lyrics get me every time.
They're doing a tour to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the album 'On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax' how cool is that :'D
I KNOW!!!!!! but I didnt see any Illinois date. i wish they could do an Emptiness tour again
what bout 2018??
Me vale verga :3
Okay I’m down. Just add me on Snapchat and we can plan the wedding 😹 js
2020 and I'm still bumping this
Your not alone man. Keep safe bro let's end this crysis by spreading love.
Yea
2023 the bumping continues 🖤
People complaining about fangirls? I usually do. But this infact is the rare case where the band actually deserves fan girls.
Yeah how about no.
Depending how you see it for example i am actually a boy and i hear them because i like the music they play and there are fans Who like alesana because these fans think the members of the band are handsome and there are fans (like me) Who like alesana because how they play music

Honestly some of the replies here seem like some weird ass incel wrote them lmaoooo
almost 7 years now. I'm already 21. My fav song when i was 15. so many memories. the melody haunts in a good way.
nys kh ha highscool
I LOOOOOOOVE this damn irony!
"...a love like this can never truly die" ...
*few seconds later*
SOOOOO! NOW THE SHOW'S OVER!
:D
This one actually gave me the chills
It's really creative how they made a trilogy out of their songs.... fucking LOVE this band!!
bubbanii crown the empire did the same thing but your right it is awesome
No matter how many times play this it almost feel like Im listening to it for the first time
Alesana is the best emo band of the last 20 years. There, I said it. This is a work of art.
I love how so many lyrics by alesana sound like they're umm.. gonna 'do it hard core' ;) like 'I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure stranges me' and 'you should know I'm dangerous, my thirst for blood, turns me on'. Alesana. is one of the best bands ever :)
This calms me down when I'm mad.
same its why I'm listening to it right now
Same
I'm revisiting this band from when I was younger and I'm slowly realizing how cringy my edgelord phase was. I still enjoy the music, and the lyrics are great... But it's still... so.... edgey.
Edgar would be proud
Best song ever the emptiness will haunt you
Alesana are like a 10x better version of BMTH
Nah
+izzy Oli can't scream now but it's still amazing
+TheJetFighter oli can still scream. But he prefers not to, but still it sounds good though.
+Anthony Rodriguez yeah ikr a lot of people are disappointed but it's pretty awesome if you ask me
BMTH chose to change so they don't sound the same all the time, they want to be music diverse. They trend in every album they make. Is Alesana better than them? No...But they aren't any worse cause Alesana's albums are written by lyrical geniuses with great performances.
This song it truly amazing in so many ways... still listen to it randomly since it came out long ago! I wonder how many views are actually mine lmao 😂
Goosebumps every time! Anyone else?
Glad I randomly clicked on this video I have a new band I like... Thanks for making this video.
I just fell in love with Alesana, specifically with The Emptiness. What a poetic and deep album, one of my favorites of all time.
Almost 2017 AND LOVING IT FOR LIKE 8 YEARS
Best throwback everrrrrrrr
indeed, alesana will never die :D
yesssss and ur pretty too
The Emptiness will haunt you... in ur sleep and you will dream about this amazing album!!
Fucking awesome song!! That part at 3:41 is insane!!!
I just got 40% edgier today.
My first time listening to this band, all thanks to a co-worker I've got to say this sounds hella good 👌
I don't quite know how to describe this song.
It's so amazing. I'm serious i hear this song everyday.
Ever since this album came out..this is always what i hear first.
I'm never going to get tired of this.
amazing lyrics, spine-tingling vocals and just a great band period.
God I love this.
I saw them at south by so what and they played, this, the murderer, congratulations i hate you, and a few others. I think this was the best song they played.

This is the 2nd band that I've realized that I'm greatly different from my family. Still love this song till this day.

The video was excellent! Thanks :D

This song gives me the shivers omg. This is amazing.

Thank you Danny for this awesome intro, God it's so brutal!!!
It’s been 10 years, you start to forget the things you should remember...
10 years later, I can come back to this song and still enjoy it very much.
sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now, im stading closer to the edge then i should be allowed :)
beautiful lyrics.
Saw them live April 2nd. It had to be the best show I've ever been to. Other than Farewell, My Love.
" I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me. I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain and fantasy. Oh the visions inside my head...the emptyness will haunt you. Sanity it slowly slipping from my hands now. I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed. Oh, what little regret I have...Does that make me a killer?" I love Alesana sooooo much! Can they're music get any better! Yes i beleave it can!
Alesana is pretty much my favorite band at the moment, i love them. their so great, this song is one of the best one i think from The Emptiness :3
"I immerse myself in sick reflection." Adore that part xD
Calm consumes me, I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me, I taste the tears of sweet indulgence pain and fantasy, oh the visions inside my head. The emptiness will haunt you,

My most played song from Emptiness
why is it so underated
Because every song of that album is just so fucking good!
This song is great. Absolutely puts me in that mellow, deep feeling mood. I'm personally sick of the 12 year-old scene kids taking over Alesana's fanbase though. Any others?
Meditate music 7th grade lol
saw your eyes today in a memory.
painted in the sky, you said to me.
"a love like this can never truly die"....*it was a lie.*
In my opinion, this is the greatest song off The Emptiness. I just can't stop listening to it!
2018?
Bella Allison recently discovered
Simply love this song...
Addicting!
Alesana's my 1st band!
Alesana... The best band ever!
I love you guys
Their music is honestly creepy it makes me feel scared and dangerous at the same time. I LOVE ALESANA!
Quick reminder don’t forget about alesana it’s 2023
saw them live and they are more than just amazing!
"Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now. I'm standing closer to the edge than should be allowed." That is one part I will always relate to. C:
For you and everyone who's hurt us and tried breaking us apart. You and me against the world!!!
Their songs almost make me want to cry...they're so poetic yet haunting.
Wow, I can not get enough of this song ever. Literally, some of the best lyrics I have ever heard. One of their greatest albums to date. Could they get any better, I think so!

antitheticalmastermind devastatinglypurple I think the one singing is a girl. The ones screaming are boys.
Pie Pierrot There's no girls in the band it's all boys

Alesana my fav band in this fucking world! and this song! my fav part: "
I immerse myself in sick reflection...
I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me.
I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain and fantasy.
Oh, the visions inside my head...
The emptiness will haunt you...
" Awesome Corus with Dennis Scream and Shawn beautiful voices + Annabel! OMG AWESOME! This is not song this is creativity.
Alesana 4EVER!
Listening back to this song while stoned. Now Im having a flood memories of me in the past...
The part that makes this my theme song is are the lyrics: "Behold, for I am the will of the reaper!" Duh.
this song is legit as fuck
... the first time i've fangasmed at something that only had lyrics... this song is just that awesome.
i love how this band has a song for every situation that an emotional person has...this music consumes my misery and i love it with a passion \m/
same
i love alesana
This is really a good song. This is actually my first time listening to Alesana and I didn't think I'd enjoy their music but I really did :P
This album tears me away from the fabric of this world, I don’t feel I came back after experiencing this masterpiece. RIP Annabel. Everything happens for a reason
^^ To me the album The Emptiness is about revenge & pain
so far the songs I listen to.. is it o.o?
people say that you have to be emo/gothic to listen to music like this
well, i disagree. im just me and one of my friends showed me this band and omfg dljfdjhæjldksw
the 5 who disliked this were distracted of the awesomeness of this song and missklicked :D
Oh what little regret I have...does that make me a killer?
FTW
These guys are amazing.

i love this song but to understand the lyrics we must listen to all the album.
this lyrics means ...
The Artist does not regret what he has done, but he sees Annabel everywhere. Then he runs out of the town only to later end up back in his front yard, and to run into a suprise...
@ShoStoppa55
Oh! Haha I thought you thought he was the main screamer! Haha my bad.
I think he's a genre of racist.
He hates the diference between humans and when one guy is not like the others he gonna judge this guy and insult him because he's not like everybody.
NO I'M NOT CRAZY, I UNDERSTAND ME. :')
Screamo.
In metal, we have: Metalcore, Deathcore, Screamo, Deathmetal, Gothic Metal....
I'm wrong ? I don't know with that..
I just know that Alesana is a fucking awesome band and I fucking love their songs.
@TylerJaden24
Listen to their album "On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax" for they scream more in that if you like lots of screaming. Still a good bit of clean vocals. Maybe Alesana is not your type of band.
don't know this does also reminds me of death the kid
from the soul eater anime and beautiful in blue because of
the grim reaper feeling it give s me it reminds me of death
elesana is a great band :)
Whoever believes that music cannot turn people on hasn't listened to this song.
2021 anyone?
@EnmanuelDrummer Well their lead singer Shawn Milke is a largely falsetto singer, but they do have guest female vocals in some of their songs. Those are done by Melissa Milke, his sister.
@7h3tSLDR02 it wasnt based off of it the storys completely different, it was just influenced by it and they named the one song "in her tomb at the sounding sea" after the last line!
@ScarredandLoved ...which was based off of a poem.
It's called Annabel Lee. Hence in their songs the girl is named Annabel?
Yes, they did write a shortstory, but the made it FROM the poem.
@screamingbearman45 maybe we don't need to fight against pop music. what does it even matter to you? if you like a song, you like it. It doesn't have to have a lot of views to be good.
@Cabadass2013 Actually if you look at it, it does fit in the sentence because since it is consumes then the washed needs to be washes since it's present tense they both have to agree.
