'if the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky that would be like the splendor of mighty one - I am become Death, the shatterer of worlds'
J. Robert Oppenheimer
Whalesong is back new full length album.
Among collaborators are: Thor Harris (SWANS, Xiu Xiu, Wrekmeister Harmonies, The Angels of Light), Wacław Vogg Kiełtyka (Decapitated, Lux Occulta), Aleksander 'Pope' Papierz (Sigihl) and award-winning vibraphonist Tomasz Herisz.
'Radiance of a Thousand Suns' is monstrous and punishing. Whalesong attacks with heaviness, slow industrial rhythms, hypnotic arrangements and overwhelming, sometimes more than 10-minutes long compositions. Constantly repeated riffs and rhythms mixed with huge loudness don't let anyone ignore them. Whalesong understands the great value of dynamics and uses huge variety of instruments: gongs, hammered dulcimer, tubular bells, theremin, vibraphone and also objects like sheet metal and springs.
Since the very beginning the band has always been highly influenced by genres like industrial, no wave and drone. Over time they created their unique uncompromising style consisted of sludge, doom metal, jazz, noise rock and post punk. Notwithstanding this, Whalesong music can't be easily described with just one genre, but one thing's for sure: the band doesn't follow any trends and negates up-to-date fragmentary listening of music.
