Hello Metalheads! This is John back with another couple of brand new tracks I had to bring to your attention. This is the third track and fourth that we are getting from the brand new band Whalefall, they are called Whispers and Cracks.
As I mentioned in my last track preview from Whalefall, they have their first album coming out on October 31st, 2025! Whispers and Cracks however, is actually a prequel to the album. In the words of the band “This is a way for us to build more lore and story without using any words.”
These two tracks have a few interlude-esque progressive passages that really setup the main “meat” of the material. Whispers starts as this ambient wave like groove that made me feel as if I was on a boat. Then the main track starts off with a blast beat groove that quickly transitions into a djent inspired heavy passage. This whole track is just a lot of fun.
Cracks starts out with this almost Pink Floyd style ambient section where it sounds like either you are being lead down the ocean or something huge is passing by, it’s so foreboding and creepy! The highlight of this track and prequel is the lead up and lead into the crushing breakdown with about four and a half minutes left. It’s a guitar playing this really boppy and catchy riff that just slams right into a full on headbang fest. The end of the track is a perfect transition into the first track on the upcoming record Ocean Garden.
To say that I am excited for the rest of this album is a huge understatement! Don’t forget to stream and buy Whalefall’s music if you love it like I do. Links will be below!
