Dutch death/doom metal band Sad Whisperings presents new single and music video »Strategy Of Tension«

Groningen, Netherlands based death/doom metal band Sad Whisperings proudly presents the official video for »Strategy Of Tension«, the title track of their upcoming EP, set to release on October 4th, 2025 via Vidar Records.

Prepare for a journey trough crushing riffs, haunting atmospheres, and unrelenting intensity – a perfect blend of melody and brutality. This song captures the very essence of the EP: emotion, power and a touch of darkness.

Founded early nineties as Desecrate, the band played death metal with some doom influences. After the change in musical direction to atmospheric doom/death metal, heavily influenced by the greats like My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost, the name was changed to the more suiting Sad Whisperings. The full-length »Sensitive To Autumn« was recorded in 1993. After the recording of promos in 1995 and 1998, the band went on hiatus.

The interesst from VIC Records in 2022 in re-issueing »Sensitive To Autumn« led to the reformation of the band. A year later »Return To Autumn« was released by VIC Records, comprising the ’95 and ’98 promo recordings.

The band has recorded 11 new songs at Soundlodge recording facilities in late 2024. The EP »Strategy Of Tension« will be released on Vidar Records on October 4th, followed by a full-length album in early 2026.
