American deathcore band which has his name taken from East London district Whitechapel has just dropped a video for a new single “A Bloodsoaked Symphony”.
The video has been directed by David Brodsky and it shows frontman Phil Bozeman’s uneasy childhood. You can watch the emotionally charged video below.
The previous single “Lost Boy” from the upcoming new album has been released last month and called “vicious and proggy“. The video for it, directed by Miles Skarin can be watched here.
The band’s last album The Valley came out in 2019 and showcased the confident evolution in their sound. “To me, it was like the stars aligning for us to create our almost perfect record in regard to songwriting, vocal performance, the mix and master, and the artwork”.
“We like to look at our albums as chapters of our career, and that is one chapter I will never forget. I think it really solidified that we can embrace a new sound, and if we execute it properly, then the fanbase is going to support and enjoy it” commented guitarist Alex Wade.
Whitechapel’s eighth album Kin is out on 29th October via Metal Blade Records and can be pre-ordered here. The new release will bring more dynamic and diversity “further advancing the band’s sound into new territory without losing sight of what brought them to this point” says a press statement.
“I feel with every album, we learn what worked best on the last one and try to utilize that in our writing. Early in the writing, there was some discussion of the album being like ‘The Valley’ part II, not literally called that, but in how the songs sound and flow through it. It’s very much a storytelling type record like ‘The Valley‘ was,” said vocalist Phil Bozeman.
“Musically, we just want to create what we vibe with at the given moment. We write music with how we feel and not what is expected of us, while lyrically the idea of continuing from the story of ‘The Valley‘ was always the goal.”
