1992-96: Hesperus was a member of the marchigian black metal band called Sulphuria; in that time Hesperus was known as Ritus tenebrarum (bass & backing vocals); Sulphuria was a trio and realized a rehearsal demo and 3 demos (two with Ritus tenebrarum) and a song in a cd compilation:
1993: Funeral nation, rehearsal demo
1995: Ad jacendum sub fluminis infernalis, demo
1996: Caelum sanguineum, demo with italic vocals (1200 copies sailed and good reviews)
In 1996 Sulphuria realized the third demo (Nera Celebrazione Elettrica) and a song of it was in the "volume 1 of the norwegian compilation Asgardreien"; that volume included songs of artists like Horna, Dornenreich, Frostmoon, etc… and Sulphuria was the only italic band in that cd.
1996-97: In that year Hesperus leave Sulphuria (R.I.P.) to realize his ideas of a conceptual oneman band with more epic and introspective elements, and this project was Hesperia, ancient name of italic and west european lands, and Hesperus was their ancient king in greak mythology (see Hesperia Scriptum in www.Hesperianlands.tk for more information).
Initially the music created from Hesperia was a sort of black metal with epic and folk elements and lyrics, and in 1997 was recorded the very raw rehearsal demo:
"The return of an archaic civilization", in very few copies.
After it Hesperia decided to not limited itself with a restrictive type of music and to introduce in it every type of influence from different fields: literature, cinema, history, mythology, folklore, etc...
In Hesperia 's music was introduced ambient , theatrical, and progressive elements, leaving intact the rawest side, a fundamental point to creating a sound evocative, charismatic and distant in time and space, rich of italic cultural elements and called Metallo Hesperico (archaic italic metal).
Hesperia also became a concept project very long, complex and divided in three Compendiums: the Historical, the old Hesperian, the new Hesperian(see Hesperia scriptum).
1998-2001: in '98 Hesperus begun the recording (with a 4 track analogic recorder) of the first part, of the first volume, of the first compendium: "Aeneidos Metalliapotheosis part I" with italic vocals, and some latine ones.
It was inspired byVirgilio's Eneide to describe with mythology the origin of italic History.
The recording taken two years, and the sound was captured in three different caverns in the east shores of italic lands (in the region of Marche, in the Adriatic coast near Sibillianmounts, the mounts of Sibilla, the mounts where Hesperus leave, near the ancient roman ruins of Helvia Ricina).
The mix and the mastering was finished in november 2001 at Patchworks dungeon.
The instruments choosen for "Aeneidos…" were basses (4 to 8), octaved basses, bass effects instead of guitars , so in that first part there are no guitars and no keyboards; but the instruments will change in every cd.
2001: in December was re-recorded a track of the rehearsal demo '97 (with guitars) and put as a bonus track in "Aeneidos…" to show the origin of Hesperia's music. This song was recorded at "le gole dell'infernaccio" on the Sibillian mounts.
