Vi skal til Seattle for å sjekke ut Vespera.

Bandet forteller at de har hatt et femårs fravær, og at de har hatt sine utfordringer.

Stilmessig forteller Casval at de ligger mellom «…progressive/alternative metal and post-hardcore, with technical weight, melody, vulnerability and atmosphere throughout the complete arc.»

«We built Vespera completely independently and had started gaining real momentum with support from Billboard, Revolver, Kerrang!, Rock Sound, Alternative Press and Spotify. we also had touring lined up with Monuments / Skyharbor and later NateWantsToBattle.«

Så kom pandemien, bandet mistet to turneer, og som om ikke det var nok: «…followed by a hit-and-run involving our touring vehicle and the theft of our trailer, continuing became financially impossible. Vespera disappeared publicly for nearly five years.»

Bandet stoppet, ikke musikantene. «Cairn and Jon kept playing together with Jutes, and members stayed active on the road with phem, Scene Queen, Demi Lovato, KT Tunstall, Matt Corby and others».

Albumet The Thoughts That Plague You’ leser vi opprinnelig var planagt som et album på 14 låter, men kom til lytterne i form av tre ep-er.

«We have now restored the intended sequence and are giving the existing record the chance it never really had while rebuilding everything organically.
