Artist: WHITECHAPEL
Album: WHITECHAPEL (CD)

Release date: 2012
Media type: CD

Having spent several years lauded as one of the frontrunners in their genre, in 2012 WHITECHAPEL stand as a defining force in contemporary heavy music. Building dramatically on the trademarked bludgeon of their first three releases, with Whitechapel the Tennessean sextet have inarguably delivered their most intense, dynamic, and downright hostile record to date. Drenched in atmospheric darkness, the record is also rife with gripping melodies that drag the listener in to the tumult, willing or otherwise, and across its ten tracks it is infused with an emotional depth that pointedly separates the band from the plethora of two-dimensional mosh-starters that have sprung up in their wake.

Working with producer Mark Lewis (Deicide, Devildriver), according to Alex Wade it was not until they were in the studio and the songs started coming together that the band realized just how good a record they were making. "As we were putting the demos together we were like yeah, this stuff's pretty cool and when we got in there with Mark, every time we added a layer it just got better and better."

Returning to their rightful place on the road, the band is enthused to take these new songs to their rabid fan base. They stand confident in their belief that their followers will hungrily devour the latest evolution of their sound. "Every band at some point plateaus, it's inevitable, but we're not there yet, we're still growing, and I think this record proves that. Looking at the finished thing – the music, the vocals, the overall vibe behind it, all the way down to the mix and the master – it's almost like a perfect storm where everything came together just right and resulted in the record that we needed to put out."
