WHITECHAPEL Unleash New Track "I, Dementia"



Self-titled Fourth Album out June 19th on Metal Blade Records  


Today WHITECHAPEL has released the second single from their self-titled fourth album that is due out June 19th via Metal Blade Records. The song entitled "I, Dementia" is being exclusively premiered by Loudwire.

WHITECHAPEL filmed a series of videos during the recording process of the new album.  The first video in the series provides an in depth look at the drum tracking process for the album. The second installment focuses on the recording of the guitar parts for the new album.

Having spent several years lauded as one of the frontrunners in their genre, in 2012WHITECHAPEL 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.

Whitechapel Tracklisting:
1)      Make it Bleed
2)      Hate Creation
3)      (Cult)uralist
4)      I, Dementia
