History

Formation and The Somatic Defilement (2006–2007)

Whitechapel was founded in February 2006 by Knoxville residents Phil Bozeman, Brandon Cagle, and Ben Savage. They were soon joined by Alex Wade (formerly of Redwinterdying) as a guitarist, along with bassist, Gabe Crisp, and drummer, Derek Martin. The group recorded their first demos in March of that year. They named themselves after the Whitechapel district of London, where Jack the Ripper committed his murders. [6] In 2007, the band signed to Siege of Amida Records in the United Kingdom, and Candlelight Records in North America. They were joined by new drummer Kevin Lane and released their debut full-length album The Somatic Defilement in June of the same year. [7] [8] [9] Cagle had to leave the band after an unfortunate motorcycle accident left him unable to play guitar; Zach Householder was then brought in as replacement. [10]

This Is Exile (2007–2010)

In October 2007, the group signed to Metal Blade Records, and in 2008 released their second album entitled This Is Exile . [11] [12] The album reached No. 118 in the Billboard Top 200. [13] In May 2008, the band toured on The Summer Slaughter Tour, and in August 2008, they began their first ever headlining tour with Impending Doom, A Different Breed of Killer, and Through the Eyes of the Dead.

In 2008, they started touring with more popular bands such as Parkway Drive and Unearth on the Never Say Die! tour. They have produced a video for the song "Possession", along with one for "This Is Exile". Whitechapel has also toured on the Rockstar Mayhem Festival on the Hot Topic Stage along with the bands Job for a Cowboy, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth and the Black Dahlia Murder, and alongside bands of the main stage such as Slayer and Marilyn Manson, who headlined the tour.

Whitechapel toured with Darkest Hour and Trivium on Trivium's 2009 and 2010 "Into the Mouth of Hell We March Tour". [14]

A New Era of Corruption (2010–2011)

Whitechapel recorded their follow-up album to This Is Exile from December 27 to March 31 with Jason Suecof as the chosen producer. The band early-on announced a summer 2010 release date for the record. [15] The name of the album was later confirmed to be A New Era of Corruption . A song from A New Era of Corruption entitled, "The Darkest Day of Man" was performed live before the album's release. [16] Months later it was released as streaming media online. [17] A New Era of Corruption was released on June 8, 2010, sold around 10,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release and debuted at position No. 43 on the Billboard 200 chart. [18]

Whitechapel's focus on mass exposure over their small, dedicated following has provided them with featured spots in both California Metal Fest IV and 2010's Warped Tour. [19] They have also been announced to play Download festival in 2010, and will be a part of the second stage showcased. [20] A headlining US tour with Impending Doom, Oceano, I Declare War and Miss May I was held before the end of November. During December 2010, drummer, Kevin Lane willingly left the group to return to college and due to his ankle not being on par and would hinder the band; [10] former Knights of the Abyss drummer Benjamin Harclerode joined the band in Lane's replacement. [21] A live music video for the song "Breeding Violence" was released February 7, 2011. Whitechapel did a US headlining tour titled "The Welcome to Hell Tour" with The Acacia Strain, Veil of Maya, Chelsea Grin and I Declare War throughout February and March 2011. This tour was followed by another headlining tour of the same name in Europe with The Acacia Strain as direct support and Impending Doom opening the show. Whitechapel also co-headlined the 2011 Summer Slaughter Tour, alongside The Black Dahlia Murder.

Our Endless War (2013–2015)

The band announced via Twitter and Instagram that a new album would be recorded in the Fall of 2013. With this announcement they released a video of a new guitar riff. On August 31, 2013, the band announced via Facebook that drum tracking for the album had begun. On November 29, 2013, vocalist Phil Bozeman stated via YouTube that the band's last day in the studio would be December 9, and said that by then, everything should be done and ready to be sent to mixing and mastering. He said that he did not yet have a release date for the album, but simply said "sometime next year, sometime after Christmas". On December 7, the band posted an in-studio teaser of the new album on both Facebook and YouTube. On December 10, the band announced that tracking of the album had been completed. On February 26, 2014, it was announced the new album would be called Our Endless War , and the album's lead single, "The Saw is the Law", was released.

On November 2, 2018, the band announced their seventh studio album The Valley will be released on March 29, 2019, via Metal Blade Records and the first song "Brimstone" was released. It has also been reported Navene Koperweis from Entheos has tracked drums for the upcoming album. [32] The song solidifies a change in their once-deathcore sound to a more melodic metal sound.

On February 20, 2019, the band released a music video for the song "When a Demon Defiles a Witch". [33]

On March 21, 2019, the band released a music video for "Hickory Creek". [34] The song consists almost entirely of clean or melodic vocals in a stark contrast to much of their earlier work. The video ends with a dedication to the lead vocalist's mother, "Theresa Leslie Bozeman" who died in 2000. This echoes the dedication at the end of their 2016 music video for the song "Bring Me Home" [35] which concludes with a dedication to Bozeman's father Michael Gary Bozeman who died in 1995.

On April 14, 2020, an acoustic version of "Hickory Creek" was released. This is the first Whitechapel song to feature entirely clean vocals.

Kin (2020–2023)

On September 23, 2020, guitarist Alex Wade revealed to Knotfest.com's "Mosh Talks" that recording had begun on the next Whitechapel album. Wade stated the COVID-19 Pandemic had given them time to make a new album and that it would once again be produced by Mark Lewis. He also stated the album will contain clean vocals and melody as well as the trademark heaviness the band is known for. [36]

On August 30 2021, Whitechapel revealed the album's title as Kin , scheduled for release on October 29, 2021. [37] The band released the first single from Kin, entitled "Lost Boy", on August 31, 2021. They released a second single, "A Bloodsoaked Symphony", on September 23, 2021. [38] The album’s third and final single before release, titled "Orphan", premiered on October 14, 2021, just over two weeks before the release of Kin. Contrary to the previous singles, "Orphan" was much slower in pace, resembling a ballad, and features entirely clean vocals. Kin was elected by Loudwire as the 37th best rock/metal album of 2021. [39]

On September 3, 2021, the band announced that Alex Rüdinger would become their official drummer. He had previously been the band's live drummer, starting in 2019. [40] However, on December 7, 2021, Rüdinger announced that he had left the band and was never a full-time member, only a studio member, and that the band's announcement had been made prematurely. [41]

Upcoming ninth studio album (2023–present)

On June 8, 2023, the band has announced that they are in the studio working on their upcoming ninth studio album. [42] The following year, former Enterprise Earth drummer Brandon Zackey joined the band full-time, having previously toured with them since 2022. On September 12, 2024, the band released the single "A Visceral Retch".

Musical style and influences

Whitechapel is generally considered deathcore, [43] [44] [45] progressive metal, [46] death metal, [47] [48] and groove metal. [48] Whitechapel have stated that they are influenced by a wide variety of artists, including Cannibal Corpse, Meshuggah, Korn, Slipknot, Dying Fetus, Opeth, Katatonia, Bloodbath, Pantera, Metallica, Slayer, Suffocation, Deftones, Despised Icon, Behemoth, Nile, Gojira,[ citation needed ] Vader, Necrophagist, Tool, Carcass, Aborted, Amon Amarth, Agnostic Front, Hatebreed, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Napalm Death, Entombed and Cattle Decapitation. [49] [50]

In an interview, Bozeman said, "Me and Ben [Savage] are more the death metal kind of guys like Cannibal Corpse and Bloodbath, Zach [Householder] is too but he's more into epic black metal and European metal, Norwegian black metal and he brings a lot of that influence, Alex [Wade] has more of a hardcore background and that's his influence." [51]

On Whitechapel's 2016 album Mark of the Blade , the songs "Bring Me Home" and "Decennium" were the first to feature lead vocalist Phil Bozeman performing clean vocals. Bozeman continued to use clean vocals on the songs "When a Demon Defiles a Witch", "Hickory Creek", and "Third Depth", on the 2019 album The Valley , as well as the majority of Kin .
