Cassandra’s Whispers presents a question that is as unsettling as it is poetic: “How Much Does Silence Cost?” This new single is a deeply personal moment expressed through sound, shaped by emotional exhaustion, and delivered with a symphonic, gothic elegance. Crafted during a time of intense mental fatigue, “How Much Does Silence Cost?” arises from the painful contradiction of wanting to disappear while also longing to be understood.
The instrumentation deserves special attention. Haunting orchestral swells sweep across “How Much Does Silence Cost?” like ghostly shadows, creating space for thick, distorted guitar walls to crash in never overpowering, always complementing one another. It is gothic metal meeting the cinematic edges of symphonic rock, infused with alternative angst, and it is beautifully overwhelming.
Cassandra’s Whispers strikes a perfect balance between intimacy and intensity. There is a rawness to the delivery that feels personal, as if you are reading someone’s unsent letters aloud. The voice cracks not from weakness, but from the weight of meaning. Lyrics such as “I screamed so loud inside, I swallowed my own voice” encapsulate the mood and do not just linger in your ears; they settle in your chest.
