About VESSELES:
VESSELES (veh-sel-is) is the exciting first solo project from 10-year West Coast Metal veteran Valira (LEGION OF GRANDEUR, AMONG THE TORRENT, ARCANE EXISTENCE) who wraps an exploration of identity dysphoria in layers of symphonic black metal. A demon living among humans and struggling with the vessel she was born in, she turned to music before understanding its significance. Many years later, she found her true self and the importance of expressing that as loud and proud as possible. Its result, VESSELES (a spin on the word vessel) a study of self-identity and pushing the boundaries of the human dominant world.
