This was a nice surprise, first time i've tried this band. Sounds a bit like Wintersun but with more of an oriental/Japanese influence. Definitely one of the more interesting releases to come from 2016.

I liked Shogunate Macabre a lot but wow this is something else!

Third album is showing are bands have the potential?? Whispered have it a lot!

Yes, indeed...

Excellent band and excellent album!!!

Same here, usually not my cup of tea genre wise but this is a good album.

This is their best work yet! Refreshing to hear some japanese influences in a metal band for once.

This is everything I wanted Shogunate to be: The sound of their debut but evolved and refined.

Definitely their best yet! Can't wait for more!

Agreed! Personally, think Japanese Folk Metal could be a flourishing subgenre if more bands took up the sound.

Check out this song if you like japanese influences on metal, its more sympho metal but still kickass.

Checked it out and it's not bad at all
That's the cool thing about adding some cultural flavours into music, it makes it refreshing and just a little different. Metal easily tends to sound generic and by adding this it keeps it fresh.
Myrath for instance, band from Tunisia, check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLXqG_WKcFU

Sitting here listening to Whispered with the Drakengard/Nier series on my desk. This song is the most metal/atmospheric one in the series in my opinion, check it out and cheers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ7NIB-oib8
