Finnish experimental, black-metal sorceress VESPERITH has released her debut, self-titled album to overwhelming rave reviews from critics. Out now on Svart Records, "Vesperith," explores the dark corners of the cosmos with entrancing astral visions of utter beauty and torrential chaos. With her debut offering now available, VERSPERITH enchantress Sariina Tani has revealed a breathtaking and bewitching video for her song "Quintessence." First appearing yesterday at RevolverMag.com, the video is now available for viewing at:

Commenting on "Quintessence," Tani says, "This song is the crux of the album. it is about accepting death and sacrificing yourself at the altar of deeper knowledge and integration to the cosmic whole. This song dives into the abyss, into the unknown and only then at the point of complete surrender, something new, beautiful and blazing is able to rise from within."

On her debut full-length album, Tani meditates on the nature of shadows and emptiness stating that, "This new album is a pilgrimage to the abyss. For many, shadows, darkness, emptiness or void are almost stigmatized as evil, bad or scary but I see almost heartbreaking beauty, light and infinity there," she explains.

Mirroring the duality of light and darkness, Vesperith is a conduit for the chaotic harmony of the universe. Tani's music is spawned from atmospheric drones, screeching distortion, and mesmerizing ambience, suddenly blowing up into euphoric phoenix-like waves of bewitching guitars and hypnotic siren song.

Co-Produced by fellow dark Finnish extraterrestrial Jun-His, well known for bending time and space in his psychedelic Black Metal band Oranssi Pazuzu and their Waste Of Space Orchestra collaboration with Dark Buddha Rising, Vesperith is a multiverse of sonic summoning. Although Tani shares kinship and spirit with her boundary-breaking countrymen, she is on her own trajectory. This album is a personal odyssey as Tani explains further, "it was a traverse to the darker inner regions of the soul and through that alchemical trial of fire becoming whole again"

As if atmosphere itself were an instrument, Vesperith wields vast swathes of it. There's an essence of Black Metal in Vesperith's DNA, but it's much more an exploration of different dimensions of existence through art, bringing to mind more left-field and transcendental pioneers such as Wolves In The Throne Room and Darkspace. From the Swans-like, wide-screen crescendos to the Björk-like layers of voices that phase and warp into snaking synths, Tani's vision is refreshingly unique.
