Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non-Fiction, The Cursed) teamed up with Nathan Opposition (Ancient VVisdom) to form a musical project called Vessel Of Light. The duo entered Brainchild Studios in Cleveland to record their debut during Summer 2017. Lorenzo has issued the following update, "I decided to write about the band in NU's Steppin' Out magazine and I mailed Nathan Opposition (Ancient Wisdom's singer) a magazine and I think an old Hades CD. We started communicating by email and then on the phone. I had no intentions of asking him to write with me because my musical career was long over. I'm considerably older than him and honestly I wasn't playing guitar much, but when Nathan asked me if I wanted to write together I couldn't say no."Nathan Opposition says, "Lorenzo and I became friends due to my inability to not be susceptible to flattery. Turns out he's a really cool guy who writes awesome riffs too. Randomly one day I ask him about the band we are starting in joking fashion. I guess it was the right timing and the right person because we immediately agreed we should actually start a project. Before I knew it he was sending me CDs of riffs and I had lyrics flowing like a faucet."Vessel of Light went on to record four more albums that would be released world-wide, Woodshed, Thy Serpent Rise and Last Ride. However, the debut EP, which is now a full-length album, was only ever released in Europe on a small Italian label. Now in 2026 NoLifeTilMetal Records brings new life to the debut album with fresh remastering by Rob Colwell (Nevermore, Flotsam & Jestam, King's X, Hades) and new packaging with lyrics, liner notes and photos.
