From the italic lands, crossroad of millenarian cultures, as the celtic & the roman one, here it is! Here the primordial spirit of HESPERIA (name of the ancient Italy), progect of Pagan Metal, composed & directed by Hesperus (name of an ancient sovereign of the ancient pagan italic lands), materializes itself under the shape of a Visual (multimedia) CD.
The concept that extrapolates from this cd is one of the most difficult that an artist could musically express, and in the complex, he succeeds in his deed to combine the ancient & arcane italic spirit, with the clangor of Metal, really ortodox and not plasticized.
The music takes some of the first Necromantia sounds, unite them to a conceptual Classicism (not in the sense of music, but in the way of the affiliation and origin); in the same time, all those elements unite with an Ambient sound, really esoteric (here is no industrial insert, but a real antiquity ardor); here you will find the same emotions that a teenager feels, rummaging in the old cellar of his grandparents.
This is a trip for those who are irreversibly attracted by the spiritual triad "native land, blood, traditions";
HESPERIA is an plow that traces a musical furrow, a furrow that remains as a mark, a photo aged by the slow flowing of time;
it is not easy to listen (the recording of the drum is awful), but those who succeed to catch its spirit, will be satisfied drinking from the fountain of history, from the Epos, from the ascetic principle.
To conclude: metallic mountaneers & defender with an opened mind, ortodox blacksters & anyone who loves originality & traditionality, look for this precious CD (Carpe Diem).
NOT for modernists in search of cool news.
