Dry Wedding

Vesperian is happy to announce the release of the first new song of Portland’s DRY WEDDING. With “Arrowhead” DRY WEDDING offer a gripping entry into their heaviest and most aggressive work to date. Dense post-punk gloom, spectral gothic-country twang, and the visceral force of noise rock, black metal, and doom converge in a sound both feral and precise. Razor-sharp guitars, prowling basslines, and dynamic baritone vocals open a desolate, cathartic world that is unmistakably their own. More news on DRY WEDDING in the following weeks. „As a band that exists between various genres, Dry Wedding has been searching for a label that does things on its own terms — Vesperian is that label. With their collective expertise, immense passion, and artist-centered philosophy, we couldn’t be more thrilled about working with Vesperian and can’t wait to see where this next chapter leads.“ Davey Ferchow / Dry Wedding #drywedding “At Vesperian, we always look out for bands that cannot be put into genres all that easily. DRY WEDDING is one of those bands. Their blend of gothic-infused punk, dark country vibes, and an almost black metal-like atmosphere is pretty unique – and pretty awesome. Working with the band has been nothing but a pleasure so far, and we are very much looking forward to introducing DRY WEDDING to a wider audience and helping them grow.” Philipp Schulte / Vesperian #vesperian
