Artist History Hailing from the darkened streets of New York City comes forth the vampiric entity of the Goth Metal world known as VASARIA, featuring vocalist/bassist Baron Misuraca (the band’s founder who also is a featured comic book character, B horror film actor, artist and former member of NYC seminal hardcore/ metal bands: Sheer Terror and Desecrator), classically trained keyboardist Vlado Kormos, guitarist Robert Scott Conroy and drummer Corey Getzel. Their sonic bloodlet expands upon the boundaries of the Gothic and Metal genres by infusing ambient, classical and horror film score influences within its rather brooding soundscape while dark poetic lyrics beckon escapism and release.. To label them would be a disservice to them, but if Black Sabbath mated with Sisters of Mercy VASARIA would be the offspring or as frontman Baron quips, “Tom Jones meets Frankenstein.” Within Goth circles VASARIA have left their indelible mark (or rather bite) and have an extensive fan base in the United States as well as on European territory. Their 1998 Century Media Records self-titled debut album (with Genitorturers’ Chuck Lenihan on guitars) was met with overwhelming success, swarms of European press, heavy rotation of their video “Abduction” on MTV Europe and a mega tour with German Goth legends Das Ich. With another label deal on the horizon, VASARIA will soon be releasing their highly anticipated second album, Edge Of Supremacy, (featuring tracks by Candiria/Misfits drummer Kenneth Schalk). If their debut album was the bloodletting, this one will be the addiction. Goth and metal fans alike will no doubt sink their teeth into this one. “The most accurate way I can describe Edge Of Supremacy is dark and heavy... eloquent yet highly aggressive!” asserts Baron, “It’s our finest work to date.” You had better close that window before night.
