Renovating

September 4, 2024 by Whispering Voice Records

So, the label is slowly growing and we see now that the studio/office is going to be too small for us, in the near future. That’s why we are moving the office-part out if the studio, to free up some space for the studio, and getting a larger office in the process.

What this means is that there will be a small period of time where we aren’t as available as we would like. We will still be answering your emails and getting your orders out. Those things will always have priority. And we’re working as fast as we can, and hopefully we’ll be back on ordinairy buisniss withing 2-3 weeks.

It also means that demos and new music will not be a priority for the next couple of weeks. But please keep sending us demos, and we’ll pick it up as soon as we’re back to ‘normal’ routine.

In the meantime, horns up, stay metal and listen to some of our great artists.

Oh, and we almost forgot…. We will be announcing a new release very soon.

Whispering Voice Records announces: Finally the release of Arvas New Single “Midnight Orchid”

November 23, 2023 by Whispering Voice Records

Arvas, black metal, extreme metal, new release, recordlabel, Release, single

The silence from the Arvas camp has been unnerving and palpable. For a long time there has been no updates, post or anything coming from V-Rex og any of the guys. But finally it’s time to reveal what the guys has been up to; the creation of Midnight Orchid.

And we could be more exhited if we tried.

Last time Arvas released a single, it was the brilliant masterpiece ‘Silent Night’, which to be honest is right up their alley. ‘Midnight Orchid’ however, invites us on something new, even though the Arvas-style can clearly be both heard and felt.

The single was recorded in Dub Studios, by none other than Endre Kirkesola (who’s done production for Abbath), over a year ago. It has since been mastered by Tom Kvalsvaag at Kvalsonic Lab.

‘Midnight Orchid’ is a warm-up to what you can expect from Arvas in 2024, even though the single probably won’t be on the next album. Arvas has no touring or concert plans for 2024, but the album is planned, and in the works, as we speak.

The new album, which has not yet been titled, is partly being recorded in Equinox Studios and in Whispering Voice studios. But while we are awaiting Arvas seventh album, ‘Midnight Orchid’ is being served on the 30th of November.

‘The single ‘Midnight Orchid’ will be a digital release only, and will be available on all streamingservices around the globe.

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

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 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

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

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
