A Beautiful Descent into Silence

Cassandra’s Whispers has dropped a sonic revelation with their new single How Much Does Silence Cost? and it’s as haunting as it is hypnotic. Blending the cinematic sweep of symphonic metal with the grit of alternative rock and the brooding textures of gothic metal, the track doesn’t just make noise — it stares into the void and dares you to listen.

From the very first notes, there’s a sense that this isn’t just a song,  it’s a reckoning. Strings swell like rising emotion, colliding with crunchy, distorted guitars that feel less like accompaniment and more like a second voice in the storm. The vocals don’t scream for attention, they ache, smoulder, and whisper truths most of us are too afraid to say out loud.

But what really sets this release apart is its emotional honesty. Created entirely through a virtual project, there’s a strange intimacy in its construction, a rawness that doesn’t need flash to feel huge. It's a track made for late nights and heavy hearts, for anyone who’s ever felt crushed by the world’s volume and longed for just one breath of stillness.

How Much Does Silence Cost? doesn’t offer answers but in its aching, orchestral beauty, it offers understanding. And sometimes, that’s louder than any scream. A mesmerizing, melancholic masterpiece.
