Lübeck, Germany-based Atmospheric Post-Progressive Rock project WDNHF has unveiled the official music video for the track “The Procedure” taken from his new album, “Consideration,” released on September 21, 2025.
Watch the music video for “The Procedure” via the YouTube player below:
Who are we? Where are we going? What are we doing?
These questions sound simple, yet they open up abysses. Human beings—thinking, feeling, doubting creatures—are caught between themselves and the world, between the inner and the outer, between meaning and emptiness.
A procedure of the individual in the grand scheme of things – that sounds sober, almost technical. But in this sobriety lies a truth: we are part of a process that transcends us. Life, history, nature – they all flow in an endless stream, and humans are just a wave in it, briefly shining before fading away again.
The word “procedure” suggests that everything that is can be understood as a sequence, a process, a becoming — a continuous emergence and passing away. Humans are not the creators outside of it, but an element within it — observers and participants at the same time. In other words, part of the “process.”
In this view, humans and the world encounter each other in a new way: not as master and servant, not as subject and object, but as an inseparable unity. What we do to the world, we do to ourselves; what we heal within ourselves also heals a part of the world.
With “The Procedure,” WDNHF presents a completely different perspective—metaphorical, almost mythical. Here, the process of being human is not understood as a linear development, but as a reflection, as a ritualistic journey through an inner metamorphosis. The work invites us to reflect on our role in this cosmic process: Are we actors or observers, creators or creatures? Perhaps all of these things at once.

— About WDNHF —
Thomas Wildelau discovered his passion for rhythm and music at an early age. He began his musical journey on the drums at the age of six, later playing parade snare in a marching band. Soon after, he took lessons in the fundamentals of organ and piano, before finding his way into the world of guitars through his brother.
In the early 1990s, Wildelau played drums in numerous bands across a wide range of genres — from Heavy Metal, Thrash, and Punk Rock to Soul and Funk groups. This stylistic diversity left a lasting mark on his musical horizon.
In the early 2000s, he toured as drummer for Pyogenesis, and from 2010 onward became the drummer for Buffalo Hump. Out of this lineup, and together with musicians from A Million Miles, the band High Fighter was later formed. Heavy music has always been a constant companion and artistic outlet for him.
With his solo project WDNHF (Weidenhof), Wildelau is now exploring new paths. A complete album created entirely on his own – songwriting, arranging, performing, recording, and mixing. His debut album “Consideration” opens up another world, far removed from strict genre boundaries. Perhaps it has become so quiet and playful precisely because Wildelau previously devoted himself almost exclusively to heavier music. But that doesn’t mean WDNHF will always sound this way. The project defines itself as an open-ended musical experiment, refusing to fit into any stylistic box – and may well return in a completely different form in the future.
“Consideration” was created between 2020 and 2024 — a work entirely of his own making, developed over several years. The character of the album is not the result of a deliberate decision for or against a genre, but rather grew organically throughout the creative process.
The music on “Consideration” deliberately avoids easy classification. It resists being pinned down — and that is precisely the point. At present, it lives in a soundscape somewhere between singer-songwriter tradition, Ambient Rock, Pop, and Krautrock, interwoven with subtle Electronic influences.
Each song follows a feeling, traces a mood, confronts an emotion, or celebrates it — reflecting everything that crosses our path in life. The result is a debut album that owes no allegiance to a fixed genre, but simply exists because it wanted to come into being exactly as it is.
All music and lyrics were written, performed, recorded and mixed by Thomas Wildelau (except the guitar solo on “Time Holes“, ,prformed by Pitti Weidenhof – nullzwomusik.de), with a mastering by Benjamin Kapidzic.
