About:
The cloudy beginnings of VESPERIA lay etched in the gorged bodies of former musical projects among the now four-member band. Twisting, writhing and forcing their aural onslaught upon metal audiences across the globe have sincerely ensured the band’s continuity through all the harsh and arduous battles modern metal bands are bound to encounter in their tenures.
Established in 2012 by vocalist/ bassist Morgan Rider, the sound, direction and theme of the music quickly and naturally evolved into the style of fierce and heroic metal the band is now known and praised for.
Shortly after releasing their first full-length album Voyage from Vinland, VESPERIA redefined themselves and further focused their direction with the 2012 demo, The Swordsman. In 2013, the band independently funded and released their 2nd full-length album An Olden Tale, drawing the ears and attention of metal fans around the world and demonstrating their true mastery of their craft. During that same year, the band also independently funded and completed several Canadian tours to support the album.
Early 2015 saw the band enter the studio once again to record some demo material, which would become The Iron Tempests EP. During this time, the band toured Canada from coast to coast and also made an appearance at Wacken Open Air in Germany, where they won the title of 2015 International Wacken Battle Champions, a second time win for the band’s frontman, Morgan.
With their most fierce music written to date and a bounty of opportunity awaiting, VESPERIA continue to hungrily eye 2015 as the year they will make their mark upon the Earth.

0 Wicked Channel – Van Halst – World of Make Believe

  • March 22, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · Van Halst

World of Make Believe takes the listener on a journey. We get our introduction to the band thru the opening track called “ The End”. It starts off with some soundscape journey before the music kicks in. There is no doubt that this record is going to be compared to a mix of Marilyn Manson meets In This Moment, from the harmonies, to the shout along choruses and even the clever way the music hits you. Kami has so much passion that I feel every track she set out to give people a different style, to throw them off. I can picture most of this record being played on modern rock radio heavily.

0 The Kill Chain Blog – Éohum – Ealdfaeder (EP)

  • March 22, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · Eohum

‘Ealdfaeder’ is a high quality EP, showing Eohum to be a force to watch out for in the future. The song writing is great, the fury is real and the little additions make it all the more special. I love this record, and so should you.

0 Metal Trenches – Rapheumets Well – The Exile (Test Your Metal Records)

  • March 22, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · Rapheumets Well

This is a group with a lot of ambition, as well as talent to back it up:  something that many groups have one of without the other.  With your support, I see them sharing the stage at festivals with Amon Amarth and Septicflesh.  Make it happen.

Looking for somewhere to start?  I’d recommend the aptly-titled “The Epic of Darmak” or Enthrone Darkness Triumphant vibe of Crucible of Titans.”

0 Heavy Metal Underdogs – Fallen Angels – World of Decay

  • March 22, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · Fallen Angels

A superb thrash metal album mixing up the heavyness of the old days while adding a lot of today’s songwriting techniques to it. The feast is rounded out with catchy hooks and lasting melodies all packed in a modern production without sounding overloaded with too much noise or uncapeable song structures.

0 Sea of Tranquility – Necronomicon – Advent of The Human God

  • March 22, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · Necronomicon

Fans of extreme metal will want to check out this new release. In the Lovecraftian universe, the Necronomicon is a book best avoided for fear of what it may bring. But this Necronomicon is something that should not only be opened, but enjoyed. If nothing else, be sure to listen to “(I) Bringer of Light.” It’s a powerful track.
