Biography Vesperian Sorrow

Vesperian Sorrow is a symphonic black metal band from Austin, Texas founded in 1996. They were known as Unholy Descent in 1994 and changed their name to Vesperian Sorrow in 1996. Their lyrics tend to be less extreme than most black metal bands that cover themes of Satanism and Anti-Christianity. They cover instead; the cosmos, sorrow, sadness and darkness. Their name, Vesperian Sorrow, translates to; "sadness or sorrow in the evening hours."http://www.fourteeng.net/vesperiansorrow.html

Their third album, Regenesis Creation, released in 2006 by their current label, Underscape Records, their own label. The band is now looking for a new label for their upcoming fourth album.
