Whourkr

Band, *2005 FR
Electronic and Rock

Consituted of Igorrr and Mulk, WHOURKR is an experimental band evolving at the frontiers of Death Metal, Electronica and Breakcore. Igorrr started the whole project in 2005 with the help of Öxxö Xööx, soon to be joined by -i snor. Immediately the band finds a groundbreaking concept, getting inspiration both from the primitive side of Death Metal and the delicate and cold side of Electronica. The resulting sound is mostly made of guitars, drums and vocals, all passed through a digital chopper. The name "WHOURKR" was born from a long research on the primitive human shout. This recurrent sound is the link and the key to the language used in the band's creations: in order to dig further into feelings, the singing doesn't bother with the weight of words. No significance, no translation: the voice is a howling instrument that creates an emotional language. Ecology is also a strong recurrent theme in WHOURKR's universe, and the first album of the band, "Naät" - derived from "Nature" - expresses that statement in its own way. Consisting of Igorrr and Mulk since the departure of -i snor in 2011, WHOURKR finished its third studio album, "4247 Snare Drums", released on Ad Noiseam in 2012. 4247 Snare Drums is the exact amount of the snare drums you'll find on this album.
