Hailing from Austin, Texas, VESPERIAN SORROW has been an active force in the symphonic black metal scene since their inception in 1994. Originally formed as Unholy Descent, the band transformed into their current name, VESPERIAN SORROW, in 1999. Unlike many black metal groups that delve into themes of Satanism and anti-Christianity, VESPERIAN SORROW takes a distinctive approach in their lyrical content, exploring realms of the cosmos, sorrow, sadness, and darkness.
The band’s name itself, VESPERIAN SORROW, poetically alludes to their thematic focus, translating to “sadness or sorrow in the evening hours.”
