WHITECHAPEL ARE ACTUALLY GREEN
Thursday, June 19th, 2008 at 11:12am by Axl RosenbergI feel like I’ve been hearing a lot about this band Whitechapel lately. I haven’t really heard any of their music, though – at least, not enough to really make any kind of judgement. I like the group’s name, though. Semi-clever serial killer references are always cool in my book.
Here’s David Brodsky’s video for the band’s title track from This is Exile, which will drop on Metal Blade on July 8. Two things I’m really digging about this video: i) it appears to have been filmed in Ted Bundy’s basement, and ii) the use of the color green… I mean, that particular shade, especially when contrasted with the corpse-white shade of the band members, the whole thing just looks so… diseased.
Anyways, Whitechapel are on the Summer Slaughter tour, so I’ll get to check them out next week.

These guys are from my hometown (Knoxville, TN) and I’ve been goin’ to their shows for two years now and they put on such a brutal live show. I highly recommend everyone heading out to Summer Slaughter and seein’ them. They play first so get there earlyyyy.
that was lame.
I hope if any Summer Slaughter shows are outside that Coppertone is a sponsor.
Yeah dude, you really shredded that guitar syncing it up to a video…it deserved to be smashed. What label are these guys on? Metal Blade? Century Media? There wasn’t a single nuance to any of that, so i imagine it would be so. Additionally, when you have choreographed headbanging with a bunch of shorn scalped retards, it just looks like a long lost marky mark video. FEEL THE VIBRATIONS.
Ah shit…so much for the hidden song on the album.
I dig it.
One of the few decent deathcore bands. However, the best deathcore band out there is the UK’s Burning Skies…their latest album Greed.Filth.Abuse.Corruption is 28 minutes of unrelenting brutal deathcore.
