Deeply rooted in the traditions of EBM and darkwave, susurration draws on influences from industrial, aggrotech, prog, and black metal to create a unique sound within industrial metal.
Starting in 2010 as a solo project by songwriter and vocalist Jessy Bäsecke-Beltrametti, the project transformed into a full band in 2023/24 with Dave Wieser on drums, Hannes Bachofner on keyboards, and Michael Hirst and Sabina Brunner on guitars. Their debut album, "Hate Is My Love Language," was released in 2024 with the new lineup, followed by a successful live premiere at Royal Baden in February 2025.
As a queer-feminist band with a non-binary frontperson, susurration creates representation and a safer space for queer people within the dark music scene. The band's message is rooted in opposing structural discrimination and injustice, advocating for an intersectional understanding of feminism, and promoting self-determined queer identity and sexuality.
The double EP "Dominance" and "Submission" will be released in 2026.
