"A metal band best described as brutal, they delivered a barrage of heavy riffing, incendiary drumming and vicious vocals, all filled with passion and energy...
Hailing from a genre of music that has become swamped by a series of copycat bands, Whisper in the Riot were a very refreshing and talented take on a familiar sound. Expect big things." -

"I can honestly say Whisper… are one of the best prospects I have heard for the UK's reply to the over flowing US hardcore metal scene." -

Melodic metal is the route taken by Whisper in the Riot who put as much enigmatic thought into their lyrics as they have their name. As far as the metal goes, there's a combination of blast, shred and scream to tick that box and the melodic is inserted forcefully thanks to songwriting that's sensitive to the fact that not everyone can take a full onslaught of metal mayhem for too long.
"We're All Superheroes" seems to capture the spirit of things as well as any of these songs, slipping effortlessly from an almost-emo angsty vocal right through to a bleeding-throated scream. No shortage of guts in that voice!
No Excuses for Reason" steals the show with it's wandering guitar line and fantastic bass guitar.
Whisper in the Riot have four songs to be proud of on this record and, while it may not be to everyone's taste, it'll easily find a home in the hearts of the metal and hardcore lovers out there.
