There are two artists under the name Alessa: 1) A US screamo band. 2) A Brazilian metalcore band. 3) A Honduran darkwave / experimental project. 1) Alessa is a four-piece hardcore punk/screamo band from Southern New Hampshire. Alessa's music is characterized by dark, driving passages, but their songs also contain the more spastic guitar work characteristic of other bands in the genre. Alessa formed in early 2007 and has since released a demo in the Summer of 2007, a 7" EP titled "My Brother Was Eaten by Wolves on the Connecticut Turnpike" in the Summer or 2008, and more recently a split 7" with Chicago emo-violence band Parrhesia. The band currently has more recordings and intends to release them on a discography cassette as well as other formats.
