Summer has ended, all swallows have left the north, and autumn is already knocking on doors and windows with gusts of wind and rain. When the first leaves fall, it is also time for melancholic tunes. Whispering Void has the perfect offer for this darkening season: the eponymous song from its impending debut full-length, At The Sound Of The Heart, due on 18 October via Prophecy Productions.
Whispering Void's vocalist Kristian Espedal reveals: "Lyrically, 'Whispering Void' combines all the elements of this album. The slow, gracious movements of the music evoke the innocence of natural beings moving through a forest, as acted out by the vocals in the verses. This song also features our third 'outside' collaborator, Matias Monsen from the band DROTT is playing the cello".
