Alisa Coral about new album:
"In Darkness They Whisper" is a title of new album and it will be the first one in "Cosmic Horror" series. Songs are inspired by the metaphysical, cosmological and occult concepts developed by HP Lovecraft in his books. Music combines elements from heavy and melodic space rock to dark and epic metal while staying true to Space Mirrors style which marked the first three albums. We have many great guitar and synth solos on it! This time Massimo Arke (Opposite Sides) and Fabio Bartolini (Hortus Animae, Hate Profile) joined the album line-up to record most of the guitars on new album. Sparky Simmons (Acid FM) joined the ranks of Space Mirrors as new guitarist after he recorded his powerful guitars for "Rue d'Auseil is Missing" instrumental track. Martyr Lucifer sings all songs concentrating more on clean vocals this time. Recording of the album "In Darkness They Whisper" takes a long time as always with Space Mirrors. All SM musicians are professionals and have very busy schedule. But we plan to finish it by the end of 2011. Where will it be released? We don’t know yet, we are currently looking for a new record label home!
We also got on this record: John Pack and Allen Welty-Green play guitars and synths accordingly on several tracks, Alan Davey (of Hawkwind and Gunslinger fame) recording a powerful bass for 4 parts of the main epic song-suite, Nik Turner providing fabulous flute and sax again, Cyndee Lee Rule recording violin, Bjorn Jeppesen (Nattefrost) played synth solos in one song, we got many guest musicians. And Kevin Sommers is creating amazing artwork again!"
