Whitechapel is back with a new song called "A Visceral Retch" and I am currently writing this from the grave, because this song killed me. If you're a fan of old-school Whitechapel (as I very much am) then you're gonna love this – it's heavy as shit, it's unrelenting, and it will destroy you.
"'A Visceral Retch' is a song that fans of The Somatic Defilement will latch onto immediately," said Whitechapel vocalist Phil Bozeman. "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."
Stream it above alongside a music video by My Good Eye Visuals. Whitechapel also has a boatload of tour dates coming up, all of which you can get below. Tickets are available here.
