whalecore
a genre used to describe mastodon’s 2004 concept alb-m, leviathan, which is based on the story of moby d-ck.
frustrated that they were unable to fit the alb-m into existing genres, fans of the band coined the term to point out the inherent humor in dedicating a full-length metal alb-m to the topic of a whale. the alb-m can be most accurately described as a mix of heavy metal, metalcore, and progressive metal.
whalecore:
split your lungs with blood and thunder
when you see the white whale
break your backs and crack your oars, men
if you wish to prevail
a “genre” of music used to describe bands with at least one alb-m in which the cover artwork displays a whale. this is a popular tag used amongst music sites such as last.fm.
alb-ms that fit this description:
“leviathan” by mastodon
“from mars to sirius” by gojira
“the call of the wretched sea” by ahab
when they couldn’t find an accurate cl-ssification for mastodon’s “leviathan”, fans took hold of the cover art and thus defined it as whalecore.
contrary to what unearth said (mastodon is obviously sludge-progressive metal, but could be called whalecore), whalecore is a subgenre of heavy metal that includes a very long, droned, slow songs with some heaviness, and a very melodic flow.
ahab- the hunt www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhvkjgwaxge is a perfect example of whalecore
whalecore is a genre of music. known for combining elements of mainly progressive metal with whale song.
mastodon aren’t real whalecore, they don’t have any singing whales you pr-ck!
