—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.

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 song channels the archetype of the Mad King—

ILLUSIONS OF GRANDEUR the 2nd single from the forthcoming WHISPERS IN THE SHADOW album RAPTURE is out now on Digital . Watch the video on YouTube , share the song.

Long live the King, the King is dead!

This one was taken at the WHISPERS IN THE SHADOW show at WGT Festival back in 1999. It was our very first WGT show . 7.6.25 we will perform our 9th gig there, and we will premiere a couple of new songs from the next album as well as some tracks we haven't done in a while.

Final day of vocal recordings for WHISPERS IN THE SHADOW, then the recording of our next album RAPTURE is finished. Creating and recording this album was such a great experience. That's not always what happens. Ghosts our last one,was quite difficult to pull off to be honest. Now we'll start mixing

Thanks Rouen and Dans la crypte for having us. What a great night. great place, great crowd. The warm welcome was very much appreciated. We will be back!

John Carpenter's The Fog was released on February 1st, (1980). 45 years ago. It had an enormous impact on me. The atmosphere, the music. I was around 6 to 8 years old when I first saw it and it remained a personal favorite to this very, day.

These 9 great albums turn 40 this year. 1985 wasn't a bad year for music.
