Regenesis Creation is the third album by the American symphonic black metal band Vesperian Sorrow.
About[edit]
Lyrically, the album is a concept album telling a fictional story of a race of beings from another world, exiled and forced with a new beginning to live on another planet.[1] The ending song is the climax to the album when the new race conquers their enemies and are free to rule their new homeland.[1] The album was supposed to be a 2005 release on the liner notes to the album but was not available to the public until May 2006.[2] Before the release of the album, the band toured the UK, the USA and Canada to promote the album.[3] The album received rave reviews from critics for a second time regarding them as "one of the best black metal bands in the country".[1] The album is known for having a powerfully symphonic and melodic sound as well as sounding like a Scandinavian band has made the album.[1] Most reviewers criticized the use of keyboards and thought they were overpowering the album, nonetheless it only adds to the music and gives off a powerful sensation to the music.[1] "Quest of the Exiled" is the most requested song for the band to play live and is Donn Donni's favorite song Vesperian Sorrow has written.[1]
