VESPERIA, Canada's epic metal quartet and recently crowned 2015 champions of Wacken Metal Battle Canada are proud to unleash their new EP 'The Iron Tempests' out today, July 10th. The EP was co-produced with the effort of Ryan Bovaird, frontman of Canadian melodeath band Hallow's Die. The EP artwork was also created by none other than VESPERIA's frontman Morgan Rider at his own White North Studios (https://whitenorthstudios.com).
"Finally we can offer everyone a glimpse of what we have been so silent about over the last year and a half. If anyone has seen us live on our recent tour dates, they will have heard a couple of these new songs in our set. We are feeling especially excited about the cover song we chose 'In The Hall of The Mountain King' by composer Edvard Grieg. Enjoy, everyone!" comments vocalist/ bassist Morgan Rider.

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.
