Biography
Whale Herder harkens to the abyssal creatures and diffuses their soothing melodies. The power trio was born 2015 out of several congregations in a ship container in Zurich.
The project dates back as far as 2008 when M (guitar) and D (drums) spent hours of fierce jamming to explore the musical cosmos. Both, separations and reunions marked the following years until F (bass/vocals) joined and raised the wall of sound to a new dimension of heaviness.
Ever since Whale Herder crawled the musical depths in search of a fusion between Sludge, Doom, Death and Black Metal. The result is an overdriven and down tuned soundscape ready to crush you with groove. Celtic Frost meets High on Fire, Eyehategod greets Carcass, Kyuss hails Beherit.
