About:
Twisting, writhing and forcing their aural onslaught upon metal audiences across the globe have sincerely ensured VESPERIA’s continuity through all the harsh and arduous battles modern metal bands are sure to encounter in their tenures.
Originally formed in 2005 by lead vocalist/ bassist Morgan Rider as a black metal band, the sound, direction and theme of the music naturally evolved into the style of fierce and heroic metal the band is now known for. Shortly after releasing their long overdue brand melodic metal 2011 full-length ‘Voyage from Vinland’, VESPERIA redefined their purpose and direction once and finally with their 2012 demo ‘The Swordsman’ and 2013 full-length ‘An Olden Tale’, drawing the ears and attention of metal fans around the world and demonstrating their true mastery of their craft.With the most fierce music written to date and a bounty of opportunity awaiting,VESPERIA hungrily eye 2015 as the year they will make their mark upon the Earth.

“If you have yet to check out Vesperia, then you need to hear The Iron Tempests and become familiar with their sound before the inevitable third full-length drops as, if this recording is any indication of that one’s quality, that future endeavour will be one worth keeping on your radar.” – Apoch’s Metal Review
 
“The Iron Tempests from Toronto, Canada’s Vesperia is a 3 song, 13 minute recording that showcases their solid skill set in the symphonic, Celtic death metal platform.” – Dead Rhetoric
 
“Vesperia are a symphonic death metal three-piece and they certainly have some promise, especially when it comes to those backing keyboards, machine-gun drum blasts and a dual (scowl/growl) vocal front.” The Grim Tower
“This album will be a favorite now, and quite possibly a legend in years to come.” – 9.5/10 – Sorrow Eternal “Mixing folk, death, and black metal in a beautiful medley that will keep your ears entertained throughout the entire length of the album.” – Metal Geek Reviews
 “… an experience in a new form of Viking metal we have yet to have the pleasure to listen to…” – 4/5 – SF Media
“…a show that the ability of high quality performance , arrangement , sense of scale , in all , compete in the world while debut” – 4.5/5 – Ore Metal
“…Vesperia will satisfy most fans of epic melodic death metal, especially the ones who like a more modern sound…” – 8.5/10 – Metal Soundscapes
“Many listeners in the metal underground will find something to enjoy in every track” – Arte Mortifica Reviews “Plug in your head phones and let loose, An Olden Tale is easy to start, and almost impossible to put down!” – Two Guys Metal Reviews
