WHITECHAPEL will launch their long-awaited new full-length, Hymns In Dissonance, on March seventh by way of Steel Blade Data.
“There’s nothing good about Hymns In Dissonance, from the riffs, to the lyrics, to the general vibe of the album,” says guitarist Alex Wade of the band’s newest output. “We tried to jot down our heaviest album up to now. We needed to place out one thing that was shockingly menacing and brutal.”
“The album follows the story of a cultist who’s gathering worthy folks to affix his cult,” Wade additional elaborates, “and there are moments within the storyline the place the cult followers are singing an evil hymn to open a portal for the top cultist to enter.“
The band’s dynamic, brutal musicality serves as a soundtrack to the compelling lyrical story that vocalist Phil Bozeman vividly imagines. “Hymns In Dissonance is a mockery of the true nature of what hymns are,” Bozeman explains. “Hymns are melodious and harmonious. Dissonance is the alternative of melody and concord. Dissonance represents evil. The tracks on the report are the hymns, which symbolize the seven lethal sins, starting from Observe three to Observe ten. Tracks one and two are the introduction.”
The lineup’s well timed and terrifying imaginative and prescient was first unveiled within the Fall of 2024 with the one “A Visceral Retch” inciting frenzied followers to name the tune “a model of WHITECHAPEL now we have by no means heard earlier than. Can’t clarify how completely goddamn brutal this tune is. It is a complete dream come true.” The title monitor is the LP’s second single.
WHITECHAPEL, who fashioned in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 2006, has seen the core lineup – vocalist Phill Bozeman, guitarists Ben Savage, Zach Householder, and Alex Wade, and bassist Gabe Crisp – intact since 2007, apart from drummer Brandon Zackey, who has been taking part in with the band since 2022. Whereas Hymns In Dissonance follows 2021′s Kin chronologically, the brand new album is definitely considerably of a sequel to This Is Exile thematically, the three-word title Hymns In Dissonance representing that correlation.
The band began composing the brand new album at Householder’s studio in June of 2023, following their headlining tour for The Valley. The collective caught to a strict weekday schedule, the construction permitting for optimum creativity and minimal burnout. Householder produced Hymns In Dissonance, which allowed the musicians to seamlessly change gears from preproduction to recording the complete album with out skipping a beat. The guitarist shadowed producer Mark Lewis loads during the last 5 WHITECHAPEL albums and bringing that affect contained in the band is a full circle second for Householder and WHITECHAPEL. “It’s cool that we will be self-sufficient and produce a report of this magnitude ourselves; not plenty of bands can say that.”
Upfront of the discharge, at present the band unleashes a video for the title monitor. Notes Bozeman, “It’s about [the storyline’s cultist] constructing his cult of followers: Solely probably the most heinous and vile folks on the planet exhibiting their devotion to their lord, committing horrible acts, and the chief showcasing his energy and his goal to commit the seven cardinal sins to resurrect their lord, and to interchange divinity with evil.”
Provides Wade, “Principally written by Phil on guitar, ‘Hymns In Dissonance’ has a number of riffs and tweaks thrown in by the remainder of us. He can churn out some pummeling riffs and it’s the most effective songs on the album as a result of he had a imaginative and prescient for the entire tune with the riffs and vocals. It’s tuned to Drop G which now we have been utilizing because the self-titled LP, however the ending breakdown shifts down one entire step to Drop F, which now we have by no means finished earlier than. Having the ultimate breakdown shift decrease than the remainder of the tune actually helped the tip have the crushing feeling it wanted.”
