Alesana have revealed that they will be releasing a new book called “Annabel” on August 31. The book will tell the story that spans across their three concept albums, and it will also come with a special edition of “Confessions.” That version of the album will come with two bonus tracks. Preorders can be found HERE.
Shawn Milke said the following:
“This story has been a work in progress for nearly seven years. It began when Dennis and I decided to tell our own story through the albums of Alesana. It eventually grew into an album trilogy and now, finally, a short novel. Creating this abstract universe and telling the story of Annabel has been, in every way possible, both challenging and rewarding. It is an accomplishment that still stuns me to this day. Thank you to everyone who has joined us on this journey.”
