Royal Thunder’s acoustic version of “Whispering World” is featured as Decibel Magazine’s July Flexi pick with the song also streaming via the magazine’s website.
The collectible vinyl is the latest partnership between the Atlanta band and the extreme music magazine. Royal Thunder vocalist/bass player Mlny Parsonz was featured on the cover of the outlet’s inaugural Women in Metal issue and the full band was profiled in a recent Converse x Decibel video clip highlighting the personal sacrifices the young band has made to stay on the road.
The trio have offered two previous acoustic songs as free downloads: “Parsonz Curse” via Rolling Stone and “Black Water Vision” via Pitchfork. Both CVI and the band’s self-titled EP are streaming for free via Bandcamp.
