Whitechapel still don't have a permanent drummer since the departure of Ben Harclerode. The band enlisted Entheos' Navene Koperweis to play on their new album, The Valley, but Koperweis obviously has prior commitments preventing him from touring.
Some eagle-eyed observers quickly picked up the known name behind the kit for the band's recently launched tour with Dying Fetus. It's none other than former The Faceless drummer Alex Rudinger.
No official statement has been made, but Rudinger has been posting photos from the tour, and duh, there's footage of him playing.
