[Phendoxia]

"Fear of death is nothing but an obstacle for a perfect strike" damn that line is badass

[Sabbathman]

I'm so proud of our Finnish samurai warriors - the level and depth of their musicianship and innovative creation is absolutely razor sharp and stone fucking cold!!!

[LuxBellator]

Need this band to come back! One of THE greatest symphonic/melodeath/folk metal bands, period 🤘

[lordskysixss]

This is one of the best things I've heard in years.

[Mario-usds]

3:04 This has to be one of the best choruses I've ever heard in my life

[JJG]

I'm crying because it's so beautiful..

[nirolfik]

finlish guys sing on english about japanese thematics :)

[metalheadcvers]

I just ordered Thousand Swords from recordshopx, next week will be Shogunate Macabre, and both will be displayed on my shelf of "THINGS NOBODY SHOULD FUCKING TOUCH" as I wait for the third album.

Greetings from mexico.

[ironmaskofhell]

Every time I listen to this band I feel the need to learn about Japanese history and the way of samurai while also reading Vagabound.

[MetalMaestro]

There is not a single song by Whispered that is not amazing. And they continue to deliver. So excited for the next album!

[Crashpunk]

I'm so fucking glad this got recommended to me out of nowhere. It's a masterpiece

[biepbotmobile]

There is an ill wind howling through walls
Voices grim calling my name
Inception of sorrow and hate

Darkness is claiming the rays of the sun
By closing my eyes I realize
I can't recognize what I've become

Sakura slowly fall from the sky
Glowing faint dark light

Bushido's bearing
Nothing but words
Shadows of shame draw me
Impostor, a traitor of blade

The depths of the bleak mist
The realm of the void
I heard Izanami's voice hollow
Luring, but I won't follow

Silently the rivers stay still
Nor light or dark emerges from the nothingness
Silently my sword aims for the kill
Dancing like a petal in storm
Cutting through blight

Sakura slowly fall from the sky
Glowing faint dark light

"Stillness is gained only through the absence of dread
Fear of death is nothing but an obstacle for a perfect strike"

My mind is trying to keep me sane
I'll run away
My heart is bound to meet my fate
Dying through my foe's diving blade

"If one only studies the stratagy of war 
One only becomes a mere student of war
By knowing the shallow, the deep, the small
Is the only way to evade the fall"

Sacred words of will and dare
Now fade away
The meaning for my path is vague
And in my rage
I'll take the trail to my disgrace
To run and hide
But my soul is bound to see the end
To fall and die

Silently the rivers stay still
Nor light or dark emerges from the nothingness
Silently my sword aims for the kill
Dancing like a petal in storm
Yet now crushed to shards

Sakura slowly fall from the sky
Glowing bloodred light

Izanami revealed
Her face torn and lurid
Depths revealing under all oaths broken
Burnt blossoms on the ground
I should've seen the true Sakura Omen

Horizon with these abnormal sights
Disfigured beings, screaming gods
Yet I embrace my fate, my downfall
For the battle of mind and flesh is now gone
Redemption is done

[handsmahoney]

The chorus at 3:03 literally has me, a grown man, in tears

[XXpassegeofsighs]

I think whispered just became one of my favorite bands.

[nextlifeonearth]

Awesome, my goosebumps almost ripped my shirt.

[northernheel]

"I should've seen the true Sakura Omen" always gives me the chills. Best song I've ever heard

[vishalhazare]

Holy hell this just pumped life into my stressed out soul... Love how it's so sharp and brutally beautiful!
This tore through me like Norther always did.

[Elementrius]

I love that ominous chanting in the background that creates a solid melody. Amazing composition, incredibly talented band.

[orionmelton]

Definitely what I'm gonna listen to while practicing katana, naginata, yari, and mokuju.

[Arcterion]

NEW ALBUM WHEN?!

I need more Whispered in my life. :(
