Bio
Consituted of Igorrr and -i snor, WHOURKR is an experimental band evolving at the frontiers of Death Metal and Electronica.
Everything started in 2005 when the band found its 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.
In this massive yet subtle chaos Igorrr brought extreme breakcore rythms and death metal guitars, while -i snor brought crazy vocals far from the usual death metal growling and specific electronics, creating his own effects to help the band play its nearly impossible tracks on stage.
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. WHOURKR finished a second studio album, "Concrete", which was released in October 2009 in the US / Canada by Crucial Blast Records and in Europe by Trendkill Recordings.
Worse than Death Metal.
