"White Light/White Heat" is the second studio album by the American rock band The Velvet Underground. It was released on January 30, 1968. The album is known for its experimental and avant-garde approach to rock music, pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in the late 1960s.
The album features a raw and gritty sound, often characterized by dissonant guitar work and unconventional song structures.
"White Light/White Heat" received mixed reviews upon its release but has since gained a reputation as a groundbreaking and influential album in the world of underground and alternative rock. It's seen as a precursor to punk rock and noise rock, with its unapologetic exploration of sonic chaos and taboo subject matter.
The Velvet Underground, led by Lou Reed and John Cale, remains an iconic band in the history of rock music, and "White Light/White Heat" is a testament to their experimental spirit and willingness to challenge the conventions of their time.
