WHISPERS IN THE SHADOW - Rock / Gothic / Wave

Whispers in the Shadow is a Gothic Rock Band from Austria, formed in 1996. The bandname is inspired by the story The Whisperer in Darkness by H.P.Lovecraft. The lyrics deal mainly with occult and mystic concepts.

Since 1999 Whispers in the Shadow were constantly touring throughout Europe. They also performed at numeros festivals such as Mera Luna, Wave Gotik Treffen, Summer Darkness amongst many others. WITS have never been afraid of breaking boarders and exploring new sounds and new ways of song writing as well as improvising on stage. More than once they played stunning epic versions of songs hiting the 15min mark.

In 2008 they released their 5th studio album INTO THE ARMS OF CHAOS which was the first one of a 4 album concept based on the 4 alchemistic phases of transformation.

This album was produced by John A. Rivers, also known for his work with artists such as Dead can Dance, Clan of Xymox or Love & Rockets.  In early 2010 they released the 2nd part of this epic conceptual work: THE ETERNAL ARCANE. (as compiled on the bands website)
