WHISPERS IN THE SHADOW launch new clip: ILLUSIONS OF GRANDEUR

This song is taken from their brand new (just out) album: RAPTURE. It's gothic rock with a sharp and yet a bit melancholic sound. As good as they can be and a perfect taster to warm you up for the new album! RAPTURE isn’t anti-religion—it explores the line between faith and fanaticism. Human, haunted, and strangely comforting.


A few words about the track :

This song dives deep into the madness of self-deception and the fragile mask of power. Lyrically sharp and sonically brooding, the track channels the archetype of the Mad King—a figure both tragic and terrifying.

Consumed by his own grandeur, isolated by suspicion, and spiraling toward ruin. The tarot card, the King turned upside down indeed. A anthem for a world teetering on the edge of its own self-created madness.

RAPTURE is out on all digital platforms + Bandcamp. Also available on Vinyl and Digi CD (with 12-page booklet).
