BRING ME THE HORIZON'S

 Biography
It's not often scene kids, screamo fans and metal-heads can agree on a band, but after Bring Me The Horizon's explosive rise in popularity, culminating in their breakout performances at Vans Warped Tour this summer, fans of all three genres have found their new favorite band. With a wildly-anticipated new album and a full U.S. tour on the way, Britain's hottest up-and-comers are on track to conquer the country this fall.
Hailing from Sheffield, England, Oliver Sykes (vocals), Matt Nicholls (drums), Curtis Ward (guitar), Matt Kean (bass) and Lee Malia (guitar) formed BMTH in 2004 and began setting the UK ablaze with blistering performances across the country. By 2006 the band had already won Kerrang!'s "Best British Newcomers" award and toured with groups like Killswitch Engage, Aiden and Bleeding Through. Later that fall the group unleashed their debut album, Count Your Blessings, which further cemented their place among the metalcore elite.
In April 2008 the group entered the studio with legendary producer Fredrik Norstrom (Arch Enemy, In Flames, At the Gates) in an isolated area of Sweden, where they recorded their sophomore album, Suicide Season.
BMTH's experiences over the past few years, for better or worse, have shaped them into more passionate musicians, no longer content with ten tracks of straight up chugging and screaming (although ferociously heavy tracks such as "Sleep with One Eye Open" and "No Need For Introductions..." remain). Instead, the vocals are more varied, guitars more atmospheric and the drums are a pure driving force. BMTH have opted to explore the limits of their sound and abilities, resulting in tracks that will make you think as much as bang your head.
Suicide Season's opening track, "The Comedown," foreshadows the album's brutal intentions with sharp chainsaw riffs, pistol-whipping beats and snarling vocals that will send fans into a windmilling frenzy. The album's immediacy continues with songs like the moody hardcore meltdown "Chelsea Smile" and the prog-screamo sing along "The Sadness Will Never End," and doesn't let up until the last notes of the album-ending title track. Suicide Season is the perfect soundtrack to a life spent on the edge, where the rules don't apply and darkness rules. November is Suicide Season...
ALESANA
Alesana adalah band asal California. Nama Alesana di ambil dari nama jalan tempat tinggal sang Vokalis, Shawn Milke. Sampai saat ini, personil mereka sudah sering berganti-ganti. Yang masih tetap mulai dibentuk sampai sekarang cuma Shawn Milke(Gitar, Vokal), Dennis Lee (Vokal, Scream) dan Jeremy Bryan (Drum). Label rekaman mereka sampai sekarang adalah Fearless Record.

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.

Alesana (sebenarnya di ambil dari kata alice-anna) band yang beraliran post-hardcore yang berasal dari Raleigh, North Carolina, USA pastinya. Berdiri sejak tahun 2004. Karya yang udah mereka buat satu EP, 7 compilations, dan 2 full album, dan satu cd produced tour.

* Dennis “Denny Diablo” Lee – Screaming vocals (2004-present)
* Shawn Milke – Vocals, Guitar, Piano (2004-present)
