Whispers from Bangkok, Thailand
Originally formed in 2014, the band picked up steam in 2021 with the release of their Narok Bon Din EP grabbing international attention. Hitting the studio in Spring 2024, Whispers 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. Influence from bands like All Out War and Merauder comes through across the seven songs, giving a tough as nails delivery packed with menacing riffs. Guest vocal features from Jem Siow of Speed, Shaun Alexander of Demonstration Of Power, Stephen Bessac of Kickback add to the furiousity of the EP. Thematically, Yom-Ma-Lok addresses realism and human nature through a global perspective.
