Whitechapel Megathread: All things Whitechapel!

Yeah I knew that except for Self Titled. That I didnt know. Nice!!

Yeah, from what I remember they used an EVH 5153 profile for the self-titled. Album after that was Diezel Hebert. Not sure what's going on with this album.

 

[rexbinary]

I thought they moved from 5153 to Axe-Fx?

They used a Kemper starting with the self-titled album with a 5153 patch. Before that they used real 5153s.

went over the new album, getting kind of a Slipknot Iowa 2.0 vibe over 70% of the material...but maybe that's just me, also - if the tuning was one note higher (drop a I think?) the guitar tone would agree with me more.

Other than that it's a nice record - love the clean vocals and the more groovy approach this time

 

[that short guy]

I've given the new record a few listens now and I think it's a pretty solid record. It's not my favorite, that's still a tie between the self-titled and a new era of corruption.

My only real complaint about the record is I feel like the bass isn't loud/present enough in the mix but that's a taste thing, someone else might think it's perfect the way it is

 

[Dawn of the Shred]

I'm really digging the new record overall, love some of the grooves on this album

Ben Harclerode is out. I hope they can get a competitive replacement, it's gonna be hard to find someone as beastly and tasty on the drums as he is.

fuuuuuuuck what!!!!//??
He is a total beast. Wonder what the reason is?.
hate when lineups get altered.

 

[Smoked Porter]

Evidently he was unhappy in the band, so he quit.

Why is there nothing on their FB page about it?.
And i meant i wonder why he is unhappy. New sound not for him? He cannot stand the guys any more? He wants to be a session drummer for Taylor Swift?. All possiblities haha

Dude you joke but her songs could be super interesting with some metal drumming added...........

New single out today, it's lit fam! (do the kids still say that?)



Seriously though, liking this much better than anything off Mark of the Blade.

 

[Smoked Porter]

Nice and doomy (not meaning like the genre, before some metal scholar fills their diaper).

Anybody else immediately see the cover art as a spooky version of this? I'm not suggesting a ripoff, just noticing the similarity.

 

[BIG ND SWEATY]

Not really feeling this new song at all.

Same here. Not bad, but rather forgetable. I usually prefer their slower songs, but this one doesn't do anything for me right now. Then again, that is true for most of their songs while some totally blow me away, and those aren't necessarily the singles. On the plus side, I had almost forgotten they had a new record coming

Brimstone - 1 listen.
I haven't really been much of a fan since New Era... Self-titled was ok. I really loved Exile and New Era.
I felt War and Blade were pretty 'meh' but I do like that 1 song: 'the saw is the law'.
Honestly, War and Blade were just sorta boring to me. This was compounded by that documentary they put out (which was a lot of slow motion artry-shots).
On Brimstone : Sorry dudes, at the 1:23 mark I was already checking the runtime to see how long the song was... I already forget how it sounds... and when it ended, I was like "oh thats it? same boring riff for 3 minutes..."
Thumbs down.

Now to play the long waiting game until the end of march to hear the entire record. Always enjoy me some new Whitechapel.

 

[AdenM]

I wouldn't say I'm a hardcore Whitechapel fan, but the vibe/sound and album art are all A+ for me here. Brimstone isn't outwardly catchy, but it's a great listen and I keep coming back to it - nice riffs.

This. I don't usually get down with Whitechapel unless I'm feeling those deathcore vibes and just want something to scratch that itch.
But this one sounds promising. Put it on for background music and found myself stopping what I was doing to listen to it, which usually means good things
