As the northern skies darken on 31st October, Atlas emerges from the frost to unveil their next haunting chapter. The Finnish northcore band will release their new single ‘I Whisper Your Name Like a Curse‘ – a ritual of grief, devotion, and spectral longing.
‘I Whisper Your Name Like a Curse‘ unfolds as a nocturnal prayer steeped in sorrow and transcendence. Shaping silence into something fragile, haunting, and unforgettable, the track moves with a slow, heavy pulse and shadowed atmosphere. It embodies the weight of mourning while remaining deeply intimate — a spectral metalcore ballad that turns despair into catharsis.
Guitarist Tuomas Kurikka reflects on the song’s eerie origin:
“As cryptic as it sounds, this song came into being after receiving a message from the dead. That moment crystallised the essence of the entire meaning of the song — love conquers death.”
Like a whisper from beyond, the song bridges the gap between life and death – between what seems lost and what lives on in memory. ‘I Whisper Your Name Like a Curse‘ carries the cold, honest breath of the North: There are no masks or theatrics here – only the pure, frosty truth of human transience.
This Halloween, Atlas invite listeners to follow the whisper that lingers in the dark — a voice that speaks from beyond and refuses to fade. Let the shadows speak.
Atlas have already completed the first shows of their impressive live run – and will continue their extensive European and UK tour with Orbit Culture and Gaerea through the end of November 2025. Live, the band unleashes its full weight – an intense experience that is at once painful, soothing, and transcendent.
