WHITECHAPEL will release their new, self-titled album June 18th via Metal Blade Records in the UK.
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, withWhitechapel 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.
The album was engineered and mixed by Mark Lewis (Black Dahlia
Murder, DevilDriver), who also handled production duties alongside the
band. The album artwork was created by Aaron Marsh of Forefathers Group
with art direction provided by WHITECHAPEL.
Whitechapel is available for pre-order in exclusive bundle packages here:
Loudwire is hosting an exclusive stream of the single I, Dementia here:
WHITECHAPEL filmed a series of videos during the recording process of
the new album. The first video in the series provides an in depth look
at the drum tracking process for the album. The second installment
focuses on the recording of the guitar parts for the new album. The
third video focuses on the vocal tracking process. All three can be
viewed here:
