"Whispers In The Shadow has made another excellent album with ‘Ghosts’, one full of tormented guitars, dark synths, and distinctively harder than usual. A ‘combination of psychedlic post-rock with gothic bombast’, colleague Kurt called it in his review. We thought the CD was so intriguing that we went to frontman Ashley Dayour with a number of questions."

WHISPERS IN THE SHADOW, most likely Austria's longest-serving gothic/dark rock band (founded in early 1996), released their eleventh album "Ghosts" in 2023. Once again, the band lead by charismatic front man Ashley Dayour (The Ðevil & The Uñiverse) proves their diversity. This time the journey leads into heavier realms. Down tuned, monolithically stacked walls of guitars, thunderous drums and booming bass that seems to come from the bowels of the earth itself. On top of all that, psychedelic lush keyboard carpets and Ashley's signature voice which clearly identifies this band. Even after 27 years, the same applies: Expect the familiar unexpected.

"Ghosts" is their heaviest album to date and is one of the darkest albums in the band's history. Above all, the 13-minute core piece of the album "Majesty & Torment" surprises with its numerous beat/bar, riff and tempo changes and its progressive approach. “Sacred Fear” flows like a merciless lava maelstrom, and opener “Totems Of Decline” conjures up a
dystopian vision that seems to have long since become reality. In addition, WHISPERS IN THE SHADOW open the door to dark-wavy realms with songs such as "A Haunting" or "Ghost Loop Remedy", but always with a twist and a certain heaviness which is very unusual in that kind of genre.

Thematically, "Ghosts" is a journey into the Abyss, a trip through human and inhuman abysses. A communion with shadows and spirits. Both social and personal. Demons such as addiction ("A Haunting"), paranoia ("Ghost Loop Remedy"), self-righteous ignorance ("Totems Of Decline") and chauvinism ("Harpies") are summoned. At the end there is the journey into and through the Abyss ("Majesty & Torment"), the confrontation with fear of fear and finally the realization that the ghosts are a part of oneself ("Poltergeist"), one's own ego, which has to be destroyed in order to overcome it all.

Visual artist Billy Phobia is again responsible for the cover artwork. He resorted to the magical technique of automatic drawing and was inspired by the spirits of the actual music, which made their way right into the artwork.

WHISPERS IN THE SHADOW not only stare into the abyss until it stares back, they walk right through it and don't shy away from drinking coffee and eating cake with the demons living there down below. In this sense: Let's get haunted!

Aeon Sable’s reimagining of a World on a Precipice

"In AEON SABLE's seventh studio album AENIGMA, the nectar of the previous albums has merged. AENIGMA explores dark hiding places in the souls of the living and the deceased, pondering on the weaknesses and despair of humanity, where redemption is merely a fiction of a feverish imagination." Nino Sable

Four years after their last release AETHER, the gothic rock formation AEON SABLE release their seventh studio album AENIGMA on the Berlin label Solar Lodge. The titles of the tracks speak to the unmistakably dark and gritty angle of attack taken by this Ruhr valley based musical assembly. Opening with the brooding and menacing “Birth of the Godforsaken”, this seven tracks, hour-long album is a body of work which underscores the writers’ commitment to their craft, pulling at the sinews of the soul, expanding the palette of emotions beyond the daily routine of human existence. The musical experience of the twin driving forces behind AENIGMA, Din-Tah Aeon and Nino Sable burns through all the tracks with an intensity existing fans of the band will recognize and which will surely attract a new following. Adorning themselves with the long cloak of the gothic rock genre, Din-Tah and Nino once again prove that it is not a crude, simplistic artform which is one-dimensional, but rather a concept which is open to interpretation and development. AEON SABLE exists on a spectrum of dark light where the wavelengths dance in the shadows. Alternating between the harder, more tempestuous sounds of “Birth of the Godforsaken”, “The End and Beyond” and “Loki Ad Anguis”, the duo switch in to a rawer tempo with “Burning in Black”, “Twin Flames in Spring”, “Loaded Dice On Lovers Lane” and “From Witchcraft To Deviltry”. In terms of content and themes, AENIGMA touches on familiar dark terrain but has episodes of madness liberally interspersed to reflect the unhinged moments where the loss of control is unpredictable and devastating. Both lyrically and musically, this work shines through a Catherine wheel draped in shades of black.
