Hammerheart Records signs Italian Medieval Black Metal act Hesperia!

Hammerheart Records signs Hesperia! Hesperia is the ancient name of the Italic lands dominated by the mythological sovereign Hesperus. Hesperia plays the purest M since 1997 and Hesperian Metal; “Hesperian” stands for “Archaic Italic”.

Hesperia is Hesperus: vocals, all instruments, effects. There you have it!

The album entitled “Fra Li Monti Sibillini (Black Medieval Winter over the Sibylline Mounts)” is something you have never heard before. It is a soundtrack, with a parts Black Metal, and soundscape parts and a Medieval parts, all in one big journey, fluently.

Hesperia is truely unique: Immortal meets Dead Can Dance, a movie without a movie,  art or kitsch? One thing is for sure: this is not done before by anyone, it might be over the top, too ambitious, but we love it! And that’s why we will release “Fra Li Monti Sibillini” in January 2025!

More information about the album will be unveiled in october.

Hesperus (Hesperia) says:
“It is a great honor for Hesperia to have signed with a historic and prestigious label like Hammerheart Records, which has released fundamental works and bands that I myself have been a fan and listener of for decades. This is a great opportunity for Hesperia. I am very proud that such a label has appreciated this work, and I am very enthusiastic about the upcoming release of the album and to become part of their roster; working with such a professional team is certainly the best way to release an album like “Fra li Monti Sibillini (Black Medieval Winter over the Sibylline Mounts)”.”

Guido Heijnens/Hammerheart Records says:
“We are very excited to release something so different and unique as this new Hesperia album. It is like a snow covered movie soundtrack, with immortalesque Black Metal elements. I never heard anything like this before.”
