13-09-2024

WHITECHAPEL has released a new standalone single, “A Visceral Retch”. The single follows the band’s most recent Metal Blade release, the album ‘Live In The Valley‘, from January 2024, after the album ‘Kin‘, from 2021.

Watch “A Visceral Retch” below.

Comments WHITECHAPEL vocalist Phil Bozeman, “‘A Visceral Retch’ is a song that fans of ‘The Somatic Defilement’ will latch on to immediately. It was one of the first songs we had in the chamber to work with. This song came to light thanks mostly to [guitarist] Zach Householder. He showed us and we all immediately said, ‘yup, that’s it.’ Zach is notorious for very dark and horror-like vibes so this album is right in his wheelhouse. The song is disturbing. Imagine being put in a situation of survival by gluttonous, mammoth demons that give you a choice. Eat the demons’ waste, eat each other, or starve to death. The twist, you’re against the people you love the most. It’s a way to find the ones that are truly evil people to build and strengthen their cult. It also represents how horrible people can really be, when push comes to shove.” Watch WHITECHAPEL‘s “A Visceral Retch” video, directed by My Good Eye Visuals, below. WHITECHAPEL will serve as direct support to LORNA SHORE on their upcoming, mostly sold-out, North American headlining tour. The journey begins on September 19 at Montreal, Quebec, runs through October 30 in Wallingford, Connecticut, and includes performances at Louder Than Life and Aftershock. Additional support on the tour will be provided by KUBLAI KHAN TX and SANGUISUGABOGG. In November, WHITECHAPEL will join THY ART IS MURDER for eight dates in Latin America before closing out the year in late December with the “Tennessee Takeover 2024”, a trio of headlining shows through Chattanooga, Nashville and Knoxville. Support will be provided by SANGUISUGABOGG, GATES TO HELL and PEELING FLESH.

“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,” says guitarist Alex Wade. “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.” In 2021, they return with that album’s successor, the mighty Kin, which is an even more dynamic and diverse collection, further advancing the band’s sound into new territory without losing sight of what brought them to this point. “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,” adds 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.”
