Oh absolutely... It makes me sad I didn't get notified of this until just now, I'm hyped for this one! The Annabel trilogy is by far my favorite thing I've ever heard in music. Pure artwork and ingenuity. Nothing like it in music and that isn't even close to a bad thing infact its what makes it so great! Twists and turns around every corner. I can tell D-Gibby doesn't understand this is a story told over 3 albums each album based on 3 famous poems but each tell they're own story and together they line up and tell an in-depth story. I am sure he also is unaware each of the 3 albums have a short story written in the album cover and Mike Shawn the lead singer has also written a story that is also based on the Annable story. PMA!

While I totally understand your reaction to the video, I will say this was a terrible first intro to Alesana. Like this song is the halfway point if a concept album based loosely on an Edgar Allen Poe poem. So it's like starting a movie halfway through thats based on story you've likely never heard.

When he says “gods turned his back on you etc” he’s basically saying that from the point of a demon, or from the point of darkness/madness that overtook the man character and led him to kill Annabel. The whole album this song is from is about a tortured artist who kills his lover and tries to find out who did it (looking for this guy), only to find it was him the whole time. Album call me with a few page written story that went with every song, concept was really awesome

Alesana are storytellers, you have to listen to their albums, especially The Emptiness, from the beginning to end to really understand the story and what is happening. It’s even better if you know the stories the albums are inspired by, and that’s coming from a huge literature nerd.

The whole "look in the mirror and ask yourself what's good about this music, it's not good" statement is something you need to be careful with. Completely ignorant statement because you really know nothing about this band and a little research alone would probably give you an appreciation. As far as story telling in music goes, this is top tier

@@baronroaster404 I was responding to Gibby saying that they were atheist. May be true for some on a personal level, but I wanted to clarify for him.

Basically the screamer represents the inner darkness of the artist (the singer) who belives his love was killed by someone called the Thespian. The entire Annabel story is complicated. You really should look into it, it's super interesting.

Honestly like most people have said, you can’t really start in the middle of an Alesana album. When I saw this I checked to see if it was the first song by them you had because it was and odd first choice. When going in line with the story, the song is great. If you’re going to do this album, and I think you should and would appreciate the artistic nature of it, you should start from the beginning with “The curse of the virgin canvas”. Do lyric videos so you can follow the story, and maybe think of doing the whole album in order, one song a day. Make a series out of it. I think you would really like it. Love your videos man and I hope I’m right and you enjoy this band.

You need to listen to every song from every album starting from the first. Each album tells a story in the order of the songs. I love this band for how detailed they are. Trust me, you won't be disappointed by listening to everything in order, it will all make sense and you will realize how good of story tellers they are. My favorite song by them is "Annabelle". You won't be disappointed I promise!

He hates the screams tho. And that music video was super weird. Not to mention the blackface the guy was wearing. That shit hasn’t aged well

Hope this helps a little bit with the understanding. This album particularly revolves around an artist who in a fit of rage killed his girlfriend. The full album follows the artists slide into madness as he believes that the girl named annabel has come back to haunt him. The album ends with him taking his life in hopes that it will atone for what he did. Well we know he killed himself but in his head annabel actually killed him in revenge. This band has an entire discography surrounding the story of annabel known as the annabel trilogy.

I love you’re reactions my man, you are a guy with a lot of energy and I’ve been supporting you since the beginning, but I have to disagree this time with you, I know that is your opinion but you have to know the story behind this song before calling it trash. Alesana is a band that make story’s in their albums, and If you don’t follow that story’s you won’t understand what’s happening, so I recommend you to give alesna another opportunity and follow all the story because they have great songs and it’s pretty interesting, but also you can react to the songs i mentioned in the other comment without paying attention to the lyric and without watching the video so you can only guide by the entire music, I know you will like better. I hope you have a great day and a big hug to you and your wife. Much love from Mexico. ❤️

Same With bands like Famous Last Words, or Ice Nine Kills a lot of their songs are from concept albums which tell an entire story, in a dramatic, theatrical way.

Stop taking songs and videos so literally lol, most of the time it's a story being told.

Their albums all tell stories. This album tells the story of a character named "The Artist" who wakes up to find the love of his life "Annabel" dead. This song is the Artist dealing with losing his love, only to be confronted by "The Thespian" who reveals he murdered her, and tells the Artist "God's turned his back on you"

Alesana is one of the most well written and poetic bands out there. They were so huge in the scene for years but unfortunately they fizzled out but have such a huge dedicated fanbase because they gave us so much with a 3 part concept album and book.

Alesana: Endings Without Stories

Fun fact: The clean singer also did the cleans for "Hey There Mr. Brooks" by Asking Alexandria on their first album

The best thing about this video is that they had full creativity for this. The creativity of dennis and shawn is underrated

Alesana - apology

Some bands you react to have a whole story/plot going with their albums so if you just jump right in the middle obviously it's going to be difficult to understand the videos context especially if you're new to the band. That's basically expected.

Alesana ‘congratulations I hate you’ it’s a banger!

Alesana its finally in tour channel 🖤🖤🖤 nice video!!!

You really have to listen to the whole emptiness album to get the whole story! This is why I LOVE ALESANA! All of they’re albums tell amazing stories!!!

The prayer falls upon deaths ears part is from the thespians pov. It makes more sense if you look into the concept of the record. Great observation though!

The emptiness is a fantastic concept album. Especially if you follow the story lyrically.

Another thing who watches d gibby and goes man this is the song to introduce him to alesana lol so many better songs to start with you gotta learn to read people and what song would be best to start someone with them

The irony of him being anti-lgbt yet listens to rock music, arguably one of the most accepting genres in the industry

Great group, underrated, and pretty cool they made a story album like they did with this. That said they aren’t for everyone and that’s alright lol

I think you’d might like the story. Bc there’s a major plot twist at the song Annabel. Also in English class we were supposed to write a essay about a story we like and why. And explain it. And I legit never wrote so much because I got permission to write about alesana the emptiness, a place where the sun is silent, And it was great tbh. If I recall correctly the third album to the story was out and yeah, that bitch was 4 pages long

The songs are based on concept albums this one is from the Emptiness the Thespian is meant to represent the evil side of the artist or the voice in his head that made him do it etc they wrote short stories to go with the albums

Here's the thing, with The Thespian, you're coming into a story half way through, it's like the 6th song on the album and it's a story start to finish

Black veil bride type of voice? You clearly havent listened that well to BVB and probably this band lmao

Alesana…wow. My brother was actually in the band prior to this song and album. He was in their first two albums. Let’s just say I’m glad he left haha. I will say they are the nicest dudes you’ll ever meet though. Even were in his weddings a few years back. They need the Lord Jesus though lol. Praying for them all the time.

I finally found my way back to this song.. haven't watched the video yet but im excited for your reaction lmao.

React to Behemoth, Deicide, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, Immortal, Emperor, Kreator and Torture Squad and you will see that Alesana, and all the metalcore scene, is just a Disney channel version of metal.

this is a year late. but this whole album is about an artist who grew mad from the darkness of his art. he fabricates a reality where he wakes up to his wife slain. and he searches for the murderer. slowly learning that the dark figure and he are the same person... the twist at the end of album is that the artist didnt murder his lover but slowly was becoming that... and as she tries her best to save him. she ultimately is forced to kill him

Huge fan of that band since freshman year of high school but I can respect the opinion especially on the basis of it can be argued that they are playing the characters they created for the albums entire story.

I just have to say this isn't about a man who killed his gf, the story which spans the whole album is about a man the "sketch artist" who wakes up and finds his gf dead in bed next to him. he buries her in the basement and searches for her killer... now at one point in an earlier song he then goes and comes across a bar where everyone's happy and having a good time, he then decides that if he can't be happy then no one can, and murders them. H e doesn't start out a murderer, but the loss of his girlfriend does makes him one. in this song as he is losing his mind he finds the killer of his gf "the thespian" who taunts him and escapes before he can get his revenge. by the end of the album the artist tracks down the thespian and they fight, the artist gets stabbed and as he's falling to his knees dying the thespian tells him to look behind him, he then hears his gf's voice and wakes up... turns out he was growing dark, his gf was scared of him and so to save herself she killed him and all of this journey was in his mind as he died.

Hmm...the song and video for Seduction might be more in your ally tbh. Give em another chance!

To be scared by an owl is the best song off of that album. Give them another shot

Dude, chill out, no one actually killed their girlfriend. Alesana is my favorite band, and if you're going to listen to screamo, you better get used to those so called 'weird outbursts.' Honestly, this band is hella underrated, but they're a very talented crew. You based your reaction off of this one song, but there's an entire storyline that goes with it. This isn't hate, just don't base your opinion off of this one song, because it will be confusing if you haven't heard the rest.

Definitely chose quite a first pick to get into Alesana. I was never fond of this music video myself yet I am a die hard fan. Alesana will hit you with chaos followed by a pop rock sound then the monstrous growling and then a verse. Of course, sometimes more than others. "Seduction" would have probably been a good pick to get the feel for them. The Thespian, well, you got ahead of yourself there buddy.

hahaha Alesana's music videos don't do their creativity justice

honestly just stop reacting to these songs altogether. every time a band mentions god you think the worst of them and completely miss the point of the lyrics. it’s shitty of you to do. i’m not sure if you’re doing it to be mean,,, cause you don’t exactly have the smarts to critically listen to shit without getting offended every three seconds. i’m not even that big of a fan of these guys, but as a musician, they’re definitely A-tier. please grow up.

I still love this band, good selection, there are many songs that has like a deep message, for example this album was based on Edgar Alan Poe's poems.

Calls them trash, but yet they were picked to play when we were young festival this year
