Alesana is an American post-hardcore band from Raleigh, North Carolina. Formed in 2004, the group is currently signed to Revival Recordings and Artery Recordings and have released two EPs and five full-length studio albums. The band gained a wide audience after their debut, On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax was released, featuring a musical style shifting between light and heavy sounds along with a wide influence ranging to even classic rock bands such as the Beatles. Their audience grew majorly after the release of their third album, The Emptiness, which released in early-2010. Their band name is derived from street named Aliceanna Street, which was the street that vocalist/guitarist Shawn Milke and guitarist Patrick Thompson (who is also the guitarist for Versus Me) grew up on, in Baltimore where all the members originally formed the band.

Alesana's overall genre is difficult to determine due to their frequent use of light and poppy influence combined with heavy outputs and metal influenced-screaming vocals.The band has been labeled under many genres like screamo, melodic metalcore, post-hardcore and emo. Although these are the genres that Alesana is usually classified as, the band has labeled themselves as pop-metal, and "sweetcore" (a term that was made-up by the group that parodies the cliché of genres that suffix in "core"). Their clean vocals and lyrics are described as appealing to emo and heavy riffs are described as appealing to metal and hardcore punk fans.
