Having existed for a very short time, alternative metal band Vespera have made a name for themselves with 2 anthemic, well-received singles (“Bloom”, “Obsidian Dreams”) that blur the line between progressive metal, modern rock, and alternative metal. Think somewhere between bands like Chevelle, Nothing More, Deftones, Tool, and Northlane – while this is a decent description of their sound, it doesn’t quite do Vespera justice.
With the band’s new single, “Paradise”, it’s clear that Vespera are going for the throat with everything they release. Even the video is 100% worth watching – the song also features Periphery vocalist Spencer Sotelo. Check it out below, and stay tuned for plenty of new music from Vespera. This band needs to be on your radar now.
Fair warning – the video and subject matter is very unsettling, but ultimately worth it.
