Biography

Vescera are an international (American/Italian) Heavy Metal band formed in 2016, who released their debut album in 2017 via Pure Steel Records.
Led by an American vocalist Mike Vescera, the band line-up is completed by former Nitehawks duo, guitarist Mike Petrone and bass player Frank Leone, plus current Annihilator drummer Fabio Alessandrini. This is not another solo project by Mike, who has gained worldwide recognition as a singer for Yngwie Malmsteen, Loudness, Roland Grapow and his own band Obsession.
After the adventure with the Nitehawks band, which lasted just over a year, Frank Leone has contacted Michael Vescera to propose a backing band in Europe for some concerts. After Michael listened to Frank's band's songs he became aware of the potential that these songs could have if recorded with his voice.

The band immediately found a record deal with the German label Pure Steel Records to begin recording the album. Meanwhile, just before the release of the album, the band together with Pure Steel Record found a new contract for the Japanese market with the famous Domo Record/King Record through DR Management.

"Beyond The Fight" was released on April 7, 2017, while the Japanese version on May 24 with 2 bonus tracks, Loudness' "Soldier of Fortune" and Yngwie Malmsteen's "Seventh Sign".

The band meets Michael for the first time in the flesh in Bologna (Italy) on April 17. They did the first rehearsal together for a few dates in Italy, Austria, France and Spain to begin promoting "Beyond the Fight". A video clip comes out taken from the tour, the chosen song is the second track of the album "In the Night".

The band is now back in the recording studio to give birth to a new album scheduled for the end of the year as well as signing a contract with the Spanish booking agency Hueso Producciones for European and South American territory.
