*Side Effects May Include: MILD TO MODERATE DEATH* Whalerider, from Germany! I get vibes of Tool, AIC, Truckfighters, QOTSA... It's damn good, pick it up! Favorite track: Devil Got Me.

Peter Faden This is an all around great album. While it pulls from a lot of subtle influences, ultimately what this album does is explore and enjoy the various musical arcs of stoner, doom, and desert rock. Pulls it all together into one of the tightest and most jamming albums I have ever heard! Favorite track: I Am Tarantula.

Stephen Huerta Yes, this is an amazing album. My wife and I will be in Germany this October 2023, I’m definitely looking these guys up. I agree with what everyone says, lots of influences, these guys should be huge.
My favorite tracks are Devil Got Me, and I Am Tarantula, a very catchy instrumental.
I wish Whalerider the best.

Devil Got Me 06:12
I sold my soul for success I signed the contract but now i must confess I used a false name hope he would care but then one day he appeared like a nightmare never thought about how this would end but now i find myself on the pavement the devil got me on my throat the devil got me on my throat the devil got me on my throat the devil got me, devil got me keep on fighting try to surrender echoes through my head losing conscience and can’t remember never thought about how this would end but now i find myself on the pavement the devil got me on my throat the devil got me on my throat the devil got me on my throat the devil got me, devil got me keep on falling down falling down to the keep on falling down falling down to the keep on falling down falling down to the ground keep on falling down falling down to the ground devil got me on my throat devil got me on my throat devil got me on my throat the devil got me, devil got me

I hear you coming down to me in my oubliette i never wanted something more than to be your pet come on, spit down on me, tie my arms and eat my skin let me be your entertainment let me be your entertainment i feel your crawling underneath my bloody skin i always wanted nothing more than to see your grin come on, slough me, cut my wrists and burn my skin let me be your entertainment let me be your entertainment always feels so good, when you break my will all i need is an extra thrill, extra thrill would you mind to give me more, more rejection feed my, my affection I hear you coming down to me in my oubliette i never wanted something more than to be your pet come on, spit down on me, tie my arms and eat my skin let me be your entertainment let me be your entertainment always feels so good, when you break my will all i need is an extra thrill, extra thrill would you mind to give me more, more rejection feed my, my affection tease me, hit me, i don’t care hit me one more time infinite lust of stabbing pain please turn of the lights

Thanatos 09:15
you’d like to fly with the angels do you mind crashing down? you’d like to worship your halo expect to get blind by the lights you need someone to guide you no matter if they fool you you need a bunch of crackpots to fill the hole in your heart Accept the wolves as saviors do you mind been eaten alive you’d like to worship your leaders expect the truth in their lies you need someone to guide you no matter if they fool you you need a bunch of crackpots to fill the hole in your heart be my master, be my slave be my dark star, be my grave i’m everything i used to be you are nothing, nothing without me there’s nothing more than silence there’s no one else than me and here i am again so here i am again

Sleepy Hound 05:12
since the break of dawn i’m trying to figure out if i’m the one for you if i ever should lose you what can i do until i found another place another ground to lay down and rest i pour out my grief to you without knowing you why the hell i’m breaking in into a losing dream like a sleepy hound

Found A Lie 06:16
this is another story about how things have changed everything that i knew was a lie you turn me upside down you shouldn’t cross the line tonight wish i could turn around and leave it all behind so i broke your heart to look inside so i broke your heart and found a lie Destiny told me how to be feeling lost in being free hide behind a wall of doubts and lost my way back home and lost my way back home you turn me upside down you shouldn’t cross the line tonight wish i could turn around and leave it all behind so i broke your heart to look inside so i broke your heart and found a lie destiny played a joke on me i run into your arms entrapment closed with a snap and forced me to my knees you turn me upside down you shouldn’t cross the line tonight wish i could turn around and leave it all behind so i broke your heart to look inside so i broke your heart and found a lie
10.
there’s a bitter taste on my soul a dark spot i can’t see do i really know myself know what i can be hate controls the bitterness all hope is gone do i really know myself know what i can do i can’t help me out of this self-destruction why should i help me out of this self-destruction
