Whispers from a Dead World began September 2005. It started out as melodic black metal, but after a few months evolved into epic pagan metal. Further progression has seen a stronger folk and classical influence.
Whispers is not a religious or a political band. Common lyrical themes are war, brotherhood, honor, and death.
Guitars and drums are synthesized (for now).

"Cattle die, kinsmen die,
the self must also die;
but glory never dies,
for the man who is able to achieve it.
