Valfader – Whispers of Chaos

Valfader – Whispers of Chaos

Self released – 2013

Rock, Doom, Sludge, Psychedelic

Rated: *****

Somewhere on the other side of this mist and rubble one can make out silent words and quiet murmur. There is something there and there’s something that knows and it tries to hiss some form of truth into our ears. Luckily we have the English trio Valfader from Bath to translate that chaos into audible beauty. On their debut album Whispers of Chaos the three amigos show us how true love for the obscure and shadowy should sound like. For almost forty minutes they take us on a majestic trip through their very own and very impressive haze. With a massive doom groove, heavy truckin bass, dizzying riffs and wails that bring the giants of yore to memory the album enchants, moves and captivates. And with voices that move from witchy to growly to haunting and back you cannot escape being mesmerized. And then there’s the slightly lo-fi production, which only adds to their very own august, noble and mystic sound. Simply amazing!
