After releasing “Fra li Monti Sibillini (Black Medieval Winter Over the Sibylline Mounts)” in January 2025 we were a bit surprised by all the support we received for exactly that record. Obviously, we loved it from day one, but it seemed the outside world considered Hesperia something special, something unique.

This late August we will release the follow up record entitled “Picenum (True Marchigian Black Metal Renaissance)” and it is a recording that will fully deliver. Sole member Hesperus has outdone himself and surpassed all expectations.

The journey continues, more storytelling, more epic than ever before!

Hesperus comments:
“With “Fra li Monti Sibillini”, having delved even deeper into the archives and into something so peculiar and deeply rooted in the cultural and regional identity of my homeland, I didn’t expect it to receive such widespread international acclaim, especially since I used ancient Italian and my local dialect.

I truly want to thank Hammerheart Records for their incredible work in promotion, distribution, and manufacturing, which definitely brought out the absolute best in that record. “Picenum (True Marchigian Black Metal Renaissance)” is the natural continuation and expansion of its predecessor, and both Hammerheart and I have strived to create something that pushes boundaries even further.”
