NoCleanSinging is pleased to debut the second single from Seattleâs Whythre. The single âScorpions of Sinaiâ, which comes from their third album âImpregnate My Hateâ, is the fastest song on the album, a solid melodic death metal offering pumped full of textures and synth. The band gives a nod to classic tale as a hint of what the song is about and explains:
âGo read the first short story in Roald Dahlâs âSwitch Bitchâ and then read the lyrics to Scorpions. I canât say much more without spoiling that experience. Itâs a quick read, just go do it. This is our fastest song by far and always leaves Steve sweatinâ! Thereâs a lot of underlying repetition in this song, which was a first for us, honestly the track is heavily inspired by underground techno vibes.â
With this album, the band presents a simmering tension thatâs in between chill and balls to the wall. They hope that listeners find some extra âmediumâ moments here and there that tastefully strike the balance. There is a wide variety of moods present on each track, itâs packed with heavy grooves, blistering riffs and huge symphonic waves.
Whythre started in 2010 as a solo project for Shon Petrey who was traveling a lot for work at the time. At the time, he was really into the symphonic metal and folk metal influences coming out of Europe. In 2012 he met an opera trained singer named Jeran Michaels and the full length album âHelâs Hollowsâ followed a few years later. It took several years for the rest of the lineup to be formed but now, as a cohesive unit, they push forwards, challenging the rules of the genres, their musicianship and their camaraderie as a band.
Shon Petrey and Adam Chambers write the songs for Whythre. When inspiration hits, they bounce ideas off each other – sometimes they collaborate from the beginning, sometimes one of them fleshes out an idea to explore. Each song has its own unique vibe and story behind it.
Whythreâs âScorpions of Sinaiâ has a groove guaranteed to move any circle pit and a message meant for heretics, by heretics. They are especially recommended for fans of Hypocrisy and Children of Bodom.

The full album âImpregnate My Hateâ is being released on May 26th, 2023 via High Point Records and available for pre order at https://whythre.bandcamp.com/â

âThe drums snap and boom; the nimble, pulsing bass work amplifies the songâs surging, head-moving rhythms; the guitarists deliver jabs and jolts, fiery soloing, and fluid melody; and Tachellâs vocals [previous vocalist] are scalding in their intensity. You put all that together, and you get music that sends the blood rushing and proves to be highly addictive as wellâ – NO CLEAN SINGING âSavageâ single review (2019)
âThe songs on this EP turn out to be damned addictive. Itâs very easy, at the end, to just go back to the beginning and ride this lightning again⦠and againâ StillBorn World EP Review (2019) – NO CLEAN SINGING
