Evemaster was formed in Finland in 1996, when Taskula got together with composer/arranger Tomi Mykkänen (who plays guitar and bass, and has been with another Finnish band called Shamos). Together, Taskula and Mykkänen are Evemaster's co-leaders, and instead of being totally self-contained, they employed various session players and guest musicians on their late-'90s and early 2000s recordings. Evemaster first entered the studio in 1996, when they recorded a three-song demo cassette titled In Thine Majesty; subsequently, that demo was reissued on CD in Bulgaria by the small Topheth label, and in Portugal on Ancient Ceremonies. In 1998, Evemaster's first official full-length album, Lacrimae Mundi, was released on KTOK Records in Finland; the following year, Lacrimae Mundi came out in Poland on the AMP label. After doing some more recording in 2001, Taskula and Mykkänen hoped that the Emerald Factory label would release their next CD, but it turned out that Emerald Factory was suffering from insufficient funds -- and so, the Finnish metalheads continued to shop their material and ended up working with Low Frequency Records. Evemaster returned to the studio in late 2002 and early 2003; between the recordings they had made in 2001, and the new songs, Low Frequency had enough material to assemble and release Evemaster's second full-length album, Wither. After coming out in Europe in 2003, Wither was released in the United States by Crash Music in early 2004. Unsatisfied with the original version of their debut, Evemaster recruited Children of Bodom drummer Jaska Raatikainen to help re-record the backing tracks. The results were issued in 2005 as MMIV Lacrimae Mundi. "
Enter 2008.
New songs have been in the making since the release of "Wither" but due to many different things the band has been otherwise sleeping in ice. Finally during the winter/early spring of 2008 it was decided that new material will be recorded for an album. Mykkänen finalized the songs and in the beginning of June 3 days were booked in Drop Hammer Studios and drums were recorded. During the summer and autumn other parts will be recorded.

Whispers
Evemaster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hear the wind whisper my name - the wind and pouring rain
The autumn thunder roars in the north - darkness falls down from the sky
My very soul wanders free in the woods - I hear the whispering voices again... and again...
I embrace my somber soul like a lover at death...
I feel my soul descent to netherworld... once again...
Your pale beauty enchanting the sons - of all races to be yours soon
A lonely wolf howls in the night - waiting for her to rise
This enchanted night is their own - so cold breeze through the woods...
Hear the thunder rising
Clouds gather in the sky
My very soul wanders free in the woods
And they call my name again... and again...
HALLOWED BE THY NAME, O' MOTHER!
Come forth O' children under the stars and take your fill of love...
(time after time - take what belongs to you)
Seething waters, dreary depths - Mother let the dark veil descent
Reveal, unmask your face - Through the darkest skies I gaze... set the sky ablaze!
I drink your sweet tears from the fountains of eternal life
I lust to see and feel more of your enamouring sides
But I watch the night break in to the dawn
I must leave now but I will return!
HALLOWED BE THY NAME, O' MOTHER!
Come forth O' children under the stars and take your fill of love...
(time after time - take what belongs to you)
The lyrics to "Whispers" by Evemaster are quite poetic and convey a sense of melancholy and longing. The opening lines describe the approaching storm with thunder rumbling and clouds gathering in the sky. The wind whispers the singer's name, and he hears the faint voices of the woods. He embraces his somber soul like a lover at death and feels his soul descending into the netherworld.
The moon appears, enchanting all those who see it, and a lone wolf howls in the night. The enchanted night is their own, with a cold breeze blowing through the woods. The singer hears whispers in the wind, calling his name over and over again. He cries out "Hallowed be thy name, O' Mother!" inviting the children under the stars to take their fill of love, time after time, and take what belongs to them.
The final verses describe the singer drinking the sweet tears from the fountains of eternal life and lusting to see and feel more of the mother's enamouring sides. However, as the night breaks into dawn, he must leave. He promises to return and again whispers, "Hallowed be thy name, O' Mother!"
Overall, the lyrics of "Whispers" depict a sense of longing, melancholy, and mysticism. The theme of the singer being called by the voices of the woods suggests a deeper connection with nature and the mother goddess, who he invokes at the end.
