"Ideally
inspired by the Inquisition era, like some titles of the tracks may
suggest, "Whispers from the Ashes" presents Nimh (Giuseppe
Verticchio) and Nefelheim joined together for
the production of a dark oriented CD that alternates obscure and haunting
atmospheres with more gloomy and sometimes dramatic and highly evocative
episodes... In a blend of low frequences, metallic sounds, echoes
of distant voices and human screams, whispers, concrete noises, ritual
processions, suddenly an acoustic guitar chord, some reverberate piano
notes, the sound of falling rain, bits of thundering percussions emerge...
Like in a disquieting voyage to a far away past, in a stakes and witches
age, featuring persecutions of heretics and superstition... A wonderfull
trip in vein of Raison D'Etre and Cold Meat sounds.
