Whispers of the Dead - Out of nowhere ♀

The “From nothing to nothing” shirt describes that you come from a kind of nothingness and then disappear again. No soul is immortal. Except our legacy - in the form in which we work and in which we express ourselves - music, art, lyrics. Which is more expressed by the second shirt. The living – mystically walking on the fog of transience.

A soul dies - do we know that? Can we know everything, is it good not to know some things?

In the year 2007 Totleben started to write the first songs. His goal was, musically, to move in those realms that had once inspired him the most. He wanted to interweave the cold and the rage of black metal with the compositionally filigree structure of classical music. Since his work should not be merely instrumental nature, he soon turned to scar base, which he knew from a previous project and was good friends with him. He was given the task to provide the musical concept with a lyrical framework. But Totleben did not want to use more members during his creative period. The focus was on creating a coherent and sophisticated piece of art. During this time, Totleben spent a lot of time creating artwork and graphics for other metal bands, such as Keep of Kalessin (Norway), Necronomicon (Canada), Imperium Decadence, Lyfthrasyr and Unlight, where he came across Frostbitten requests. He told him about his passion for this kind of music and his intimate desire to be part of such a band. Totleben said he was passionate about Frostbitten's craft and skill on drums, so he became a regular member of the band, especially since they needed a permanent line-up to play live in the near future. In the winter 2012 appeared the first album, which bore the title "From Soul Death". A concept album which, depending on the way of looking at it, dealt with either the cruelty and terror of the night or that of human existence. Since this work was received very positively and one even felt the deep desire to present it on the stages of this world, it was decided to follow a new path and in the winter 2013 two new members in the ranks Totengeflüsters incorporate. These listened to the name Rorschach, who dedicated his soul to the bass, as well as Frevelsaat, the second string sorcerer. From now on, it was possible for totem folk to present their art far away from sound recordings. Since Totengefluster's debut was well received, especially in the UK, it was decided despite all the organizational difficulties to play the debut concert in England. On 23. August 2014 was finally there: the murmurs of the dead manifested themselves in flesh and sound at the Beermageddon Festival in Bromsgrove, not far from Birmingham. On the fourth of October, Totengeflüster then conquered the local stages for the first time, in which they wrapped Tübingen's "Epplehaus" in darkness on their sold-out 10 anniversary. Later, the black-metal band Unlight joined in for two shows. These took place in November 2014 and 2015 in June. During this time, first ideas and concepts for the second album were developed. In November 2015, Totengefrische shared the stage with Negator and Eis in Stuttgart for their final tour concert...But this was just the beginning... Between November 2014 and December 2015, Totengefluhmer worked on their new album 'in the fog of transience'. The working process did not only refer to the composition of new pieces, but also to the design of thematically fitting artworks and the music video, which was created in own work. One day, at 5. March 2016, before Totengeflüster went to the mixing and mastering of their new album in the studio, another concert in Tübingen was completed together with Mor Dagor and Firtan in front of more than 150 paying guests. In the following days the musical part of the album was mixed and mastered by Andy Classen in the Stage One Studios. https://www.totengefluester.de/
