Written in October/November 2017. During live shows we always perform first 10-11 minutes of this track. The middle part was supposed to be an experimental piece and then the beautiful final part is based on incredible Wukir Suryadi performance. Originally the song was supposed to be an instrumental with short spoken word in the middle but this concept changed when Elise and Attila said they would eagerly perform the vocals. The first part of the song is slow, monumental and crushing. The second part musically is an apparition of the void coming from the endless abyss of the mind. Finally the third part is a beginning of the new life cycle. The finale reminds me a bit of psychedelic folk from 60s and 70s.
lyrics
the pieces of my heart
from the ashes of my past
burnt alive
aghast
deprived of all meaning
the flesh torn apart
the future deformed by the past
relinquished and distorted
turned into mud
fading, drowning
never to be released
from this maze
of hallucinatory dreams
caged in infinite loop
forever forming
forever dissolving
but I see the light
through the wound in my chest
radiant sun deformed
shining bright
melting the abyss
so burn me now
burst forth through the chest
and release me
so I can greet
the endless silence of time

Lyrics: Michal Kielbasa
Whalesong started in 2009. 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 negates up-to-date fragmentary listening of music....more
If you ever wandered how Whalesong would sound in a softer acoustic version - this is a band for you. Michal's neofolk band, music for fans of Death in June, Of the Wand and the Moon, Rome etc. Whalesong
Dispersion. Detterence. Repulsion. Dehumanization. Control. Salvation. Manipulation. Domination. Revolution. Bliss. Death.
Slow and dark power electronics from Poland. Whalesong
An assault on your senses, almost physical show of nihilism and hate, a channel for all negative thoughts and emotions without any interest in listener's comfort. The truth is something that hurts. Whalesong
Dark electronic music gets warped and clobbered on the latest from Author & Punisher. Brooding, cutting, and claustrophobic. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 18, 2017
