The band started to pick up an audience shortly after the release of the debut, On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax, featuring a musical style shifting between light and heavy sounds along with a wide influence ranging from pop, punk, metal and even classic rock bands. The release of their third album, The Emptiness (2010) saw Alesana's fanbase grow expansively.
