Profile: CHAOS,ORDER,LIES,TRUTH,DREAMS,REALITY,LOVE,HATE,THE PAST,THE PRESENT & THE FUTURE,SPACE,EARTH,SCREAMS & WHISPERS The band around front man Ashley Dayour (also known as the guitarist for L’ame Immortelle) is back again. Into the arms of chaos is the first studio record in years and leads them back onto the path of gothic rock, but with a modern sound and an unheard “Wall of Sound” production by John A. Rivers who also worked with bands such as Clan of Xymox, Dead can Dance, Love and Rockets (Ex-Bauhaus), amongst others. Whispers in the Shadow was formed by singer and guitarist Ashley Dayour in 1996. Between 1997 - 2003 they released 4 studio and 2 live albums. After a few tours and last years live album “A Cold Night” they worked constantly on what should become the new album. The transformation into a harder and darker sound shows that Gothic Rock can be an intense and many-faceted experience. Thunderous drums, wailing vocals, a dark growling bass meets partly hard, partly melodic guitars. This sound was sometimes already described as “Goth Floyd.” For him, Ashley explores untouched territories with the lyrical concept of the album, chaos magic, H.P.Lovecraft and the writings from Austin Osman Spare have a huge influence on the record. Besides a few special release concerts, there will be some festival shows and a bigger tour in spring 2009.
