A Place Where the Sun Is Silent

Alesana

A sprawling, 24-track rock opera based on Dante's Inferno. High-drama post-hardcore meets cinematic orchestral scores and complex, literary storytelling.

It's basically a post-hardcore musical of Dante's Inferno and it's way more epic than it has any right to be.

A grand, tragic descent into madness and damnation, balanced by moments of fragile, melodic beauty.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the haunting Italian spoken word intro into the explosive chaos of track two.
The soaring, multi-part vocal harmonies that anchor the chorus of Lullaby of the Crucified.
The eerie, cinematic orchestral scores that conclude the album, reinterpreting the metal themes as classical pieces.
