As the crows fly, it’s a wild ride... From the moment one plays the first self-titled song,
"THE WHISPERING", one instantly understands by hearing the cryptic intro of whisperings decoding the album one has stepped into a dimension where metal gods flash their wicked smile, witches delight, warriors fight the good fight and the music fills the skies raging afire, swinging the heavy musical pendulum between wicked metal/alternative metal with raw power, precision, and purpose.
The album itself, was recorded at the famous Besco Recording Studios in France with industry veteran, Producer/Manager Dan McConomy at the helm during all of 2025 and exactly a year later to the day with his mixer Mohammad “Momo” Sadeghin they concluded the album. Mastering for the record is delivered by the legendary Randy Merrill at Sterling Sound.
LUCIAN FHOR on vocals and guitars, is a rare persona that carries the torch of rebellion against injustice, oppression, ignorance, and twisted hypocrisy, that burn deeply to awaken souls with lyrics that challenge the status quo.
FOHR has been flying under the radar for a while by producing and performing music with world- famous circus troops like the legendary CIRQUE Du SOLEIL, and numerous other superstars in venues and festivals in the USA, Canada, Australia, China, the UK, and Europe as both a band leader and performer, leaving nothing to the imagination about how powerful the live aspect of the concerts will be designed to deliver an immersive experience.
TOBIAS KELLGREN is a warrior on drums and Swedish cult figure who can be heard on albums by DIssection, Wolf, Soulreaper, or been seen on extensive tours in Sacramentum or In Flames since the 90’s and is the touring drummer for THE WHISPERING.
LOIC COLIN, a French bassist, key figure in the technical metal scene for decades, with a long- standing rhythmic fusion with DIRK throughout many bands, including Scarve, One Way Mirror and Watcha. LOIC is also a recording engineer in his own right who specializes in high-end audio production and is a columnist for Bass Part and Bassiste magazines.
DIRK VERBEUREN stepped into THE WHISPERING album when KELLGREN was unavailable in the window necessary to finish the album due to other commitments. When he got the call from McConomy to record he did not hesitate to reunite with LOIC his 20-year colleague throughout numerous bands.
The group has their own imprint, LAG Records, distributed digitally by The Orchard worldwide that is handled by Bigger Management. Vinyl, CD’s and Merchandise are being released through various licensing deals to be announced soon.
