BIOGRAPHY

Jouni discovers the spirit of rock ‘n roll and puts up a band with his school friends.
Kopone, Mika and Jani join him on this sacred mission back then called Zealot.

2001 – 2003

Some own songs are composed and Zealot search a new drummer and guitarist. After testing various
honored warriors, Atte Pesonen and Pepe Ruponen prove themselves worthy.

2003 – 2004

Zealot’s first demo Bloodthroned gets forged in Riihimäki and first playing
in public takes place, but it seems that some warriors aren’t ready to part from the
skin on their spine, so once again.. New flesh is needed.

2004 – 2006

Zealot go through some dead cold winters finding new members until finally
Valtteri Arvaja and Toni Pöllänen appear from the hellish blizzard to do what it
takes. Zealot are known as Whispered from now on.

2007

Blessing of the ancient spirits of the samurai whom slowly incarnated
to the heart of the band forces Whispered to hit the studio and leave with
Wrath Of Heaven demo. Public is going crazy for it and some record companies
as well.

2008

The great shoguns in the clan Redhouse Finland Music Publishing convince of Whispered’s
skills and signs Whispered in July 2008. . New internet single “Faceless” is released in 2009.

2008 – 2009

Whispered’s 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…
