Whitechapel

Say, let's talk about Whitechapel, a music group that's quite the heavyweight in the metal scene. Started up back in 2006 in Knoxville, Tennessee, by Phil Bozeman, Brandon Cagle, and Ben Savage, this band became known for their fierce mix of death metal, grind, and hardcore—an absolute barnstormer!

​

In 2019, Phil Bozeman opened up about the band's journey. Whitechapel didn't only give us the heavy beats, but they also took personal challenges and turned them into compelling narratives. In 2019's album 'The Valley,' Phil shared more of himself, revealing a level of vulnerability even through his clean singing, which was a new twist for the band.

​

Whitechapel signed with Metal Blade Records and has released eight studio albums, like 'The Somatic Defilement' and 'Our Endless War', along with 14 music videos. Their growling and groovy guitar work has been noted for its apocalyptic sound—a three-guitar attack that's distinctly memorable.

​

Their 2019 self-titled album showcased how Whitechapel evolved from a group of intense and perhaps not-so-accessible music into a band that shares more layered, yet still head-banging, stories. Through their ever-growing catalog, they've shared the stage with top names in the metal scene, delivering an energetic live experience that cranks up the crowd's' mosh pits like nobody's' business.

​

That's the cliffnotes version of Whitechapel, a band that commands attention and head bangs in the world of metal with their powerful blends of genres.
