Mika and Kopone joined him on the same path. The first incarnation of the band was called Zealot. After some more noble warriors, Pepe Ruponen and Atte Pesonen joined the party, the creation of the first musical epic and playing in public took place. The first demo Bloodthroned was recorded in 2003-2004. As the result wasn't as good as the band would have expected, the bricks of foundation were still layed in place and the general feedback was good. The optimistic band leader thus didn't have a reason for harakiri and whipped his slaves even harder in order to reach the eternal gardens of cherry blossoms. Some warriors had a different calling and weren't ready to part from the skin on their spine, so new flesh was needed. After several candidates were tested, two of them were found decent to follow the way of the Sword.
Most recent members of Whispered are Toni Pรถllรคnen and Valtteri Arvaja, who have proven the spirit of a true samurai dwells in their minds. With the new line-up Whispered took the listeners on a new oriental joyride,
releasing a demo called Wrath of Heaven in 2007 with hugely positive reactions from the public. As the group has proven itself worthy also on the battlefield, it might be the sun rises from the East from now on also.
The great shoguns in the clan Redhouse Finland Music Publishing were convinced by our skills
so Whispered gained a record deal in July 2008. Whisperedโs compositions are carefully pushed to the limits and band marches to studio to record their very first album Thousand Swords. As for the result, just listen.
The journey has just begun...
Their second album Shogunate Macabre is released on Feb 7th 2014.

Faceless
Whispered Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So bitter, to everyone and every single thing in life
I'm all eyes - searching something to be hated even more
I cry a river red, hope the'll all be pulled down they drown and
I'll haunt their dreams imbued with vanity
Honor, I'll show them. Respect, by slaying them all
My touch , made of pai, made of thorns and nails to tear you down
For I cannot change my fate I scream
Let soul go on ahead
For I cannot change it all
Please just set me free
Slave of his own, will bound to hate
Madness creates bittersweet, fading, darkening harmony
Demigod, false truth, scale balanced be within
Breeding my wrath even more... and
Oh, how I find myself again
Together standing there, still all alone
Oh, how I hate myself again
Falling once more with the tide, it makes me blind and
Still I see, how I fool myself again
Whisper out the words to hold it down
Oh, how I praise myself again
Pierces through the skin but still I seem faceless
For I cannot change my fate I scream
Release the flames inside
For I cannot change it all
Please set them free
For I can not just stay down
No way I could set it aside
For I crush you be set free
Though I'll die, freedom never will
Oh, how I find myself again
Together standing there, still all alone
Oh, how I hate myself again
Falling once more with the tide, it makes me blind and still I see
...fool myself again
Whisper out the words to hold it down
Oooh, how I praise myself again
Pierces through the skin but still it burns
Now, forced to see reality
Under this skin dwells a human heart
Oh, still this pain remains the same
Pierces through the skin but still I seem faceless
The lyrics to Whispered's song 'Faceless' speak to someone who has lost themselves and is consumed by anger, bitterness, and hatred for everything in their life. They are searching for something to hate even more than they already do, crying tears of red while hoping that everyone else will drown in their sorrow. The singer talks about haunting the dreams of others and showing them honor and respect through their demise. They carry a mark of a curse forevermore and bring pain and suffering to those around them. They seem to be struggling with their fate and their hatred, wanting to be set free but also unable to let go of their anger.
The lyrics seem to be exploring the idea of someone who has gone beyond the point of being able to control their emotions and is consumed by their own hatred. They are so consumed by their anger that they cannot see anything else, and their pain and bitterness burn through their very being. The singer seems to be struggling with their own identity, feeling alone despite standing with others and hating themselves while also praising themselves for their destructive actions.
Overall, 'Faceless' is a dark song that explores the destructive power of anger and hatred, and how it can consume and control someone to the point of losing their sense of self and becoming faceless.
