Kira-kira sekitar awal tahun 2007-an, saya ga sengaja di kasih video klip Alesana yang judulnya Ambrosia. Padahal sebelumnya saya belum pernah dengar nama band atau lagunya dari band yang satu ini. Pertama kali liat video klipnya saya terheran sekali, awalnya dikira musik pop / kalem. Setting tempat nya aja di taman dan dengan hiasan bunga-bunga yang ada disekitar itu. Tapi ternyata teriakannya ngagetin orang sekampung (kalau distel high volume) haha. Ga nyangka, dengan aliran musik kayak gitu ternyata sekarang penggemar Alesana makin banyak aja, termasuk Indonesia.

Genre / aliran asli alesana sendiri adalah post-hardcore, namun banyak yang menyebutkan bahwa Alesana sebagai icon musik emo dengan sudut pandang yang berbeda-beda. Tapi yang jelas mereka menciptakan lirik lagu yang dalam.


Kalau kalian perhatiin, mereka mempunyai khas dan keunikan tersendiri dalam bermusik terutama kombinasi vokal. Suara kalem yang bermelodi seperti kebanyakan alternative music, dipadukan dengan teriakan nyaring. Serta ada juga growl / teriakan seperti yang sering kita dengar di musik hardcore. Pokoknya kayak gini deh : Video Alesana - Ambrosia



lirik lagu alesana - ambrosia :
A touch of poison seals my fate
the dawn echoes the night with my glory...the sun himself honors me

once king of roses, now lord of gold
the Gods themselves envy my hand
blessed with the gift of gilded touch
fate wields its knife to cut the thread

I curse the day my dream became my descent
suddenly I long for you, my only love

in my perfection I have no want
yet eyes still glint with greed untold
a folly as fatal as sin has now become the end of me

I curse the day my dream became my descent
suddenly I long for you, my only love

have I not earned this, the gift of beauty within?
how selfish were the Gods to keep their riches from my rightful treasure?
I truly have become one of them...my fatal flaw

oh yeah! Ive got her hook, line, and sinker!
thanks to me, shes her own new necklace!
now shes good as gold!

I curse the day my dream became my descent
suddenly I long for you, my only love
