2022 is soon to be history, and a fun year to look back at, for our label.

December 31, 2022 by Whispering Voice Records
happy new year, record, recordlabel

We are now 2 years in the making of a long-held dream of mine come true. Whispering Voice Records AS has become a company that is viable on it’s own, and we will start focusing on the next step of the dream, which is Whispering Voice Studios, and getting that up and running.

The label started 2022 by joining the Ifpi Norway family, which houses 23 members. Internationally Ifpi has 8000 members divided on 70 countries. This gave us some great tools to work with and gave us an even better overview of the result from our campaigns. At the end of the year we also saw the start of Music Nest Norway, which we joined as soon as applications were opened,

We also signed more artists in 2022, resulting in several digital and physical releases.

The first band out this year was the band Snøstorm. The duo residing in Norway and Bulgaria made a killer album called ‘Tales of the end’.

Tales of the end

Tales of the end

Tales od the End was released 29th of april, and consisting of 7 tracks with lyrics in either Norwegian or English, the album was released both digitally and physically as a digipak.

The track ‘Slava Ukraine’ featured several languages, and the lyrics was written in English, Norwegian and Ukrainian, in honor of the Ukrainian people fighting against their oppressors

Mellom bakkar og berg

Snøstorm also released a digital singel, a cover of the anthem ‘Mellom bakkar og berg’ from the Norwegian poem ‘Nordmannen’ (the Norwegian in English). A lyric-video was released on the labels YouTube, which was filmed and produced by Whispering Voice Studios.


Fjord

Fjord

2022 was also the year we signed the Norwegian newcomers ‘Nidhög’, who released their debut-ep ‘Fjord’. These talented guys wanted to put some of the old second wave Norwegian black metal back into play, and with the ep being produced by none other than Tom Kvålsvoll from Kvalsonic lab, the guys did just that. The band is working on their second release, and a lyric-video is also in the works

Vandari

The last release of 2022 was ‘Vandari’ by the polish band Cortege. The 12-track death-metal album was released late November, both digitally and physically. Vandari is the bands third full-length album

Vandari

The band also recently released a musicvideo, featuring the track ‘Filth‘ from the Vandari-album.


Least, but not last, 2022 was also the year we finally got ‘Into the realm of the Occult’ by Arvas back on to the streaming-services. After many years of missing, it is now finally back and available. The album was originally released in 2013, and after striking a deal at the end of 2021, the label finally got ownership of the album, and made sure it got released online.

We’ve also supported the extreme version of the Norwegian metal-festival Northern Deception Metal Festival, which was held in September in Kristiansand. The festival featured band as Mork, Gehenna, Nordjevel and Crest of Darkness, and many other great bands.

So what’s in store for the label in 2023?

We allready have a new signing in place, and there are also more albums to come, from new artists and artists that are allready in our rooster.

Arvas recorded a singel in 2022 that we hopefully will see the result of in 2023, but we will start of the new year with the release of a new artist.

In 2022 we saw what was the beginning of a brand new studio; Whispering Voice Studios. We will have a bigger focus on production in 2023, making the studio more live and buzzing.

We will also see the a brand new wepshop coming up in the early 2023, with loads of merch from all our artists, and also some cool metal-stuff in general.

We will continue to support Northern Deception Metal Festival, and hopefully we will see even more people in front of the stage.

So for now, we wish you all a happy new year, and hope you also follow us in 2023

Fjord – Out now

September 17, 2022 by Whispering Voice Records
Release

Finally the date has arrived, and Nidhögs debut-ep is live. The ep delivers powerfull and melodic black metal. The quartett sets out to bring the second wave of Norwegian black metal back, and is on the path with this debut.

‘Fjord’ er også et prisverdig stykke arbeid til å være første gang Nidhög gir lyd fra seg, og byr på akkurat passe velprodusert, melodisk og kraftfull svartmetall.

Metallurgi.org (In Norwegian)

The ep is produced, mixed and mastered by none other than Tom Kvålsvoll at Kvalsonic Lab, who’s done mastering bands like 1349, Arcturus, Emperor, Borknagar and Darkthrone, to mention a few.

The band is allready working on what is to become their second release, and their first full length album. It’s not hard to see what goals the band sets for themselves

Let’s just say that the next one is more of melodic blackend death metal, should also say that the third disc should be back to atmospheric black metal. We want variety, but no matter what, everything is Nidhög.

Adrian

So lots of exhiting stuff to look out for from these guys in the future.

Anyways, the album is out on all streaming-services and also available in our store.

A new band joins our rooster

June 17, 2022 by Whispering Voice Records

It’s always exciting to sign a new artist or band to our label. Kind of like a christmas eve, for a headbanger. And once again we are excited to announce that we have signed a new band, this time from the westcoast of Norway

Nidhög is a quartet consisting 4 young guys from Ålesund, a small town not particularly known for black or extreme metal. But that’s something these guys plans on changing. Despite their young age, these guys are very talented at what they do.

The band will release their debut-ep ‘Fjord’ early this fall. The ep is recorded and is now the hands of Tom at Kvalsonic Lab, and we can’t wait to release it.

From left to right: Jens, Lukas, Henrik and Adrian

The quartet signed with the label for the release of their debut-ep ‘Fjord’, but are allready working on material for their next release. What format that will be is yet to be determined.

What lies ahead for these guys, future will tell. We in Whispering Voice Records are excited to be the one to kickstart their career. The road to Ålesund is painted with black intentions.

The band draws inspiration from bands like Bathory, Burzum, Darkthtone, Death, Entombed and early Mayhem, but also from some underground-bands like Crypt Crawler and Taetre. So what this band has in store for their debut-album is really something to look forward too.

We will announce the release-date of ‘Fjord’ as soon as we have it. Until then we welcome Nidhög in to the Whispering Voice Records-family.
