Official press release:
Symphonic black metal project Vesseles announces the release of its upcoming full-length album Home, arriving January 16th, alongside the unveiling of the record’s seventh track, “Scriptures Etched Into the Mind’s Pillars”.
“Scriptures Etched Into the Mind’s Pillars” is an ode to the grand tradition of classic symphonic black metal. It is a vehement composition that grapples with the inner fortresses we build to protect ourselves, only to find them transformed into prisons. As relentless as it is majestic, the song marks a lyrical turning point: moving away from searching for solace in one’s origins toward confronting the distress of internal struggle and the elusive quest for peace.
Founded as a personal vessel for Valira, a demon entity navigating existence within the human world, Vesseles fuses cinematic scale with blackened ferocity. Home expands upon the project’s identity-driven narrative, weaving a mythos of belonging, alienation, and ultimate reclamation of power. The album is as much about survival as it is about transcendence, an unflinching exploration of self through sound. Valira says:
“Home is the sound of returning to a place you’ve never truly known.”
With its blend of sweeping orchestration, blistering aggression, and emotional weight, Home establishes Vesseles as one of the most uncompromising voices in contemporary symphonic black metal.
