Vesperia To Record Live DVD In Toronto June 15

     Vesperia formerly known as Bolero as it was previously announced last May, have announced theywill be filming their full set on June 15th in Toronto at the Hard Luck Bar for an upcoming live DVD to be released at a later date.

“We (Vesperia) are pleased to announce that we will be teaming up with Ax Media Studios on June 15th at our Toronto show to film our first live DVD! We are very excited to be working with these fellas again and can’t wait to see all the people at the show for the filming!” comments vocalist/bassist Morgan Rider

Ax Media filmed Vesperia’s first music video ‘Pints Held High’, the first single off the band’s 2011 debut full length ‘Voyage From Vinland’, which can be viewed at the following link here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlaCcVvVfVY).

In additional news, the band is now offering a FREE download of their latest four track demo ‘The Swordsman’ at the following link here (http://vesperia.bandcamp.com) and will be on tour with fellow metal warriors Crimson Shadows playing the following dates in Ontario.

2. Huntress 03:28
3. To Times End We Ride 07:47
4. A Silence Prolonging (In Longing) 04:58

About: After several months of deep thinking and more than half a decade of live shows, line-up changes and the constant shake-ups in the music industry, the four musicians behind Bolero decided it was time for a big move – a change in name and mentality. Ladies, gentlemen and metal Vikings, we present to you,VESPERIA formerly known as Bolero.

Continuing to derive influences from thrash, black metal and traditional folk music,Vesperia are not leaving their epic orchestrations, throat-crushing speed nor ear-piercing guitar riffs behind, rather, they’re intensifying each element, adding more energy to their live shows just when fans thought they couldn’t get any more amped up and prepping to release their new demo as Vesperia, entitled ‘The Swordsman’.

Converting listeners and critics across the globe into believers and preachers of symphonic Celtic death metal since 2007, it’s clear VESPERIA has no plans of slowing down.

As creators of the horrorbilly genre, The Matadors have been wreaking havoc across Canada since the mid-90s, delivering a live show they describe is “like being in a funhouse that has been set on fire” and who could possibly complain about that?

“Since this is our last year on earth we urge everyone to bring a helmet to the shows of 2012 due to the fact that each venue will be left in a bloody mess once we blow your fucking minds,” says frontman The Great Hooch.  And considering June 16 will also be the birthday celebration of The Turbo A.C.’s Jer von Duck, things are sure to get real messy, real quick.

Delivering a music-filled night that will put all others to shame for the rest of eternity, or at least till the end of this year when the world will finally implode, this is one show you don’t want to be crazy enough to miss.

The band will be touring on their well-received debut “MY OWN CHAOS”, a concept album that has charted in the top 10 Loud College Radio Chartsacross the country. The album features a who’s who of guest stars like Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys/Lard), Joey Keithley (DOA), Ani Kyd (Alternative Tentacles Recording Artist Fuel Injected.45), Steve Jack (Rockhead) andBrian Langley (Infernal Majesty).

“The My Own Chaos album was written about my divorce and the emotional rollercoaster that goes along with it.  At times I was questioning my sanity and doing all that I could to hold everything together.  I really dove deep into my emotions and let all the issues out.  This album is my therapy” commented My Own Chaos vocalist Connie Chaos (who also fronts the tribute bands Sister Sabbath and Zeppelina).
