English:
Rising from the cavernous depths of Helsinki, WHISPER plays prog- and melodeath-infused old school death metal, offering up a fresh, new, yet still virulently macabre take on a genre that's been rotting for decades.
Formed in 2023, the band's two EP's: Xenogenesis and Gravemind have received praise for their brutal, yet multidimensional approach. Sometimes referred to as "The Finnish Blood Incantation", their soundscape could be best described as classic '90s finnish OSDM atmosphere fused together with an amalgamation of finnish prog, melodic death metal, and more modern cosmic death metal influences.
Finnish:
Helsingin syvyyksistä ryömivä death metal-yhtye WHISPER soittaa progella ja melodisella death metallilla höystettyä vanhan liiton kuolonmetallia, tarjoten tuoreen, kalmankankean näkemyksen genreen joka on mätääntynyt jo vuosikymmeniä.
Vuonna 2023 perustetun yhtyeen kaksi EP:tä, Xenogenesis ja Gravemind ovat vastaanottaneet ylistystä brutaalinsa, mutta moniulotteisen lähestymistapansa vuoksi. "Suomen Blood Incantationiksikin" kutsutun yhtyeen äänimaailmassa sekoittuu klassinen ysärisuomidödis-atmosfääri, suomiproge, melodinen death metal sekä modernimpi kosminen death metal-saundi.
