Vesania is a Polish symphonic black metal band. Vocalist/guitarist Orion is also a member of Behemoth, and drummer Daray splits his time with Vader. The songs on God The Lux are very well constructed and orchestrated, and you'll hear similarities to Dimmu Borgir. The guttural vocals are secondary to the arrangements and act like an additional instrument.
