Whitechapel

by James Christopher Monger Formed in 2006 by Phil Bozeman, Brandon Cagle, and Ben Savage, tech-heavy Knoxville, TN-based death metal outfit Whitechapel (named for the London neighborhood where the notorious Jack the Ripper disposed of most of his victims) blend grindcore, hardcore, and black metal into an unholy trinity of audio violence. The band's 2006 self-produced EP led to a European record deal with the Siege of Amida label, a distribution deal with Candlelight, and eventually a signing with Metal Blade for 2008's full-length This Is Exile. The current lineup includes Bozeman on vocals, Savage on lead guitar, Gabe Crisp on bass, Kevin Lane on drums, and dual guitarists Alex Wade and Zach Householder. 更多>>
