Out April 7th on Ripple Music


The Crooked Whispers formed in 2020 during the global pandemic and released their debut studio album 'Satanic Melodies' and the 'Galaxy of Terror / Hail Darkness' EP on Bandcamp. The "satanic psych doom" trio is made up of musicians hailing from the United States and Argentina: Ignacio De Tommaso (Luciferica) on bass, Anthony Gaglia (LáGoon) handling the vocals and Chad Davis (Hour of 13) on guitar.

In 2021, the band was nominated as Best New band at the Doomed And Stoned Awards, then released a 2-song EP called "Dead Moon Night". Later this year, Chad Davis left the band and Federico Ramos from Argentinian death metal band Avernal took over guitars during the new album recording. At the end of 2022, a split with the band Fulanno was released on Regain Records.

Since then, the cult has steadily been growing around the world, sparking the interest of the scene and most notably Ozzy Osbourne bassist Blasko, who has signed them to Ripple Music under his exclusive partnership with the label for their highly anticipated sophomore album in the spring of 2023.

The Crooked Whispers lineup:

Anthony Gaglia – vocals
Federico Ramos – guitar
