Vintersea is an American metal band from Portland, Oregon, formed in 2014 under the name Asterion.

History
Guitarist Riley Nix and drummer Jeremy Spencer have been playing together since their high school days. As their previous band broke up, they placed an ad on Craigslist in the summer of 2014. Shortly thereafter, singer Avienne Low, who had just relocated to the United States from Malaysia, became aware of the two and joined them. Another member was guitarist Jorma Spaziano, who had moved to Oregon from the east coast of the United States. The first rehearsals and the first performances under the name Asterion took place together. The band would later change its name to Vintersea.

In late 2019, after self-releasing their EP Constellations and debut album The Gravity of Fall within the prior five years, the group signed a record deal with M-Theory Audio, the same year their second album Illuminated was released. The label was introduced to the band two years earlier through a gig in Sacramento, California, brought together by a recommendation from the group Graveshadow, who was also signed to this label. After the album's release, appearances followed with The Browning, among others.

The band will release their third album Woven into Ashes on May 5, 2023. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
