about

Written in February 2019, as base I used looped piece of Thor's hammered dulcimer and actually had whole song in my head - we only had to record each instrument then following my vision. That song is in some way PURE SOUND and combination of everything we did during these 10 years in studio and live.

lyrics

radiance of a thousand suns
shall burst forth thru my chest and shall enlighten my path

radiance of a thousand suns
shall burst forth thru my chest and shall enlighten my heart

radiance of a thousand suns shall melt my flesh and free my mind

radiance of a thousand suns shall cleanse my soul and purify my heart

and I burn, and I melt, purify me now

PURIFY

in rain we wash our tears as we escape the pain and the emptiness
we disappear and as we cleanse our minds and souls
in rain we are purified

the flesh, the mind, the spirit, the light
unified by radiance of a thousand suns

I am the light
I burst forth through your chest
and we burn
and we melt again
and we fade away
purify my soul
release me
let us burn

radiance of a thousand suns, shall melt my flesh
my spirit, my mind, my eyes
the light is here
let us burn
let us burn
we fade away
we fade away
let it go
let it go
let it burn
let it burn
let it go
let it go

and radiance of a thousand suns falls upon the earth
and paints the world in flames
purify
let it burst through you eyes
let it burst through your chest
let it burst
burst!
may the radiance of a thousand suns enlighten you
once and for all
let it purify you!
purify!

Whalesong Tarnowskie Góry, Poland

LISTEN LOUD AND FEEL THE SOUND.

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
