April 24, 2012 was the day on which Stormwinds of Ages from Austin, TX's epic extreme metal act VESPERIAN SORROW hit the earth like a meteorite. Released in partnership with The Path Less Traveled Records, Stormwinds of Ages evokes the darkest depths of searing mortal tragedy juxtaposed with soaring heights of orchestrated, atmospheric melody against a blackened backdrop of neoclassical death metal brutality. But is is VESPERIAN SORROW's undeniably passionate songwriting that has always them apart from the pack, a quality no more apparent than on Stormwinds of Ages. As if that weren't enough, the album also features guest appearances from Jason McMaster (Dangerous Toys/Watchtower/Broken Teeth), Erika Tandy (Autumn Tears/Ignitor), Carl August Tidemann (Winds/Arcturus) and Jon Zig (Sarcolytic/Images of Violence)! This is VESPERIAN SORROW at its most futuristically medieval and neoclassically barbaric.
