Hot News: Whitechapel track-by-track breakdown available on AbsolutePunk!

With only a few days remaining before the highly anticipated release of WHITECHAPEL‘s self-titled new album, the excitement is continuing to build. Today singer Phil Bozeman and guitarist Alex Wade have provided an exclusive track-by-track breakdown of the new album on AbsolutePunk. Delve into the minds of two members of WHITECHAPEL as they give you the meanings and stories behind the new songs and check out the breakdown HERE.

WHITECHAPEL will release their new, self-titled album June 15th/18th via Metal Blade Records in Europe. The album will be available as a jewelcase-CD, a limited Digi-CD including the Re-Corrupted EP as bonus and on vinyl.

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, with Whitechapel 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.
