Whispers announce new EP ‘Yom-Ma-Lok’
WHISPERS have announced a new EP!
Titled Yom-Ma-Lok, the upcoming EP from the Bangkok-based metallic hardcore band is the follow-up to 2021’s Narok Bon Din EP, and is scheduled to be released in December this year, via their new home at Flatspot Records.
Hitting the studio in Spring this year, the band set out to make a heavy, intense record that connects on an emotional level. The band worked with Suchai at Sixthirty Recording Studio in Bangkok to hone in on their sound, before sending the EP to Andy Nelson at BrickTop Recording for mixing and Brad Boatright at Audiosiege mastered it. Guest vocal features from Jem Siow of SPEED, Shaun Alexander of DEMONSTRATION OF POWER, Stephen Bessac of KICKBACK add to the furiosity of the EP. Thematically, Yom-Ma-Lok addresses realism and human nature through a global perspective.
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, WHISPERS have released a new music video, for a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Retribution.
Speaking about the new single, vocalist Nitisart ‘Mike’ Chaiburi says, “the main idea of writing this song came from my own belief that In the end, we cannot escape the consequences of the karma that we have done unjustly to each other. Even if you are big in the sky or have a lot of power, fame, and money, you cannot use those things to wash away your sins or replace the things you have done wrong to the hearts of others. We see this kind of thing continually in every social context without exception because we believe that even though we are just small humans, we have enormous desires. So we look for and want to rely on others for help anyway. In order for these people to not feel alone and discouraged, I have come to spread their frustration.”
