WDNHF - the solo project of HIGH FIGHTER drummer Thomas Wildelau - Releases Debut Album "Consideration" and Drops New Video for “To Put Something In Its True Light”!

WDNHF, the solo project of High Fighter and ex-Pyogenesis drummer Thomas Wildelau, has officially released its debut album Consideration this past weekend! Alongside the album launch, WDNHF (pronounced: Weidenhof) revealed a brand-new video for the track “To Put Something In Its True Light” — a song driven by hypnotic spheres and atmospheric textures, accompanied by a clip that reflects on the fine line between illumination and deception.

““To Put Something In Its True Light” – a proverb about the power and responsibility of perception. Light can reveal, illuminate, and bring clarity, yet it can also conceal shadows and distort truth,“ Wildelau comments. “When used positively or reflected upon realistically, it allows the true quality of a person or moment to shine through, creating understanding and appreciation. When used negatively, it becomes an illusion, a mirage that deceives the eye. Used negatively, it becomes illusion, a deceptive image that misleads the eye. Between enlightenment and deception, between honesty and manipulation, responsibility resides. Whoever casts something—or themselves—in the right light shapes perception and bears the consequences of that act. Reflecting on self-perception is also always part of successful integration.“

"Consideration" is a work of complete self-creation — written, arranged, performed, recorded, and mixed entirely by Wildelau. The result is a sonic journey that escapes rigid genre borders and opens the door to an entirely different world.

“The origin of ‚Consideration‘ — as with so many of us — goes back to the pandemic and its lockdowns in early 2020, a time that opened the door to other pursuits,“ Wildelau reveals. “During this period, I returned to my family home, partly because my mother, who had lived there for most of her life, suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away a year later.

With plenty of time, a new setting surrounded by nature, countless memories of this place, and a sense of new responsibility, I began making music. I wasn’t following any particular genre, nor did I have the plan of writing a full album. It wasn’t until 2022 that the desire arose to develop my collected ideas into something more complete. At the same time, I set myself the goal of arranging, writing, and recording the entire album on my own. The only exception is the guitar solo on ‚Time Holes‘, which didn’t come from me. Since I never set deadlines for myself, and no one else had expectations of me, the album was allowed to take its time. It simply came into being.
