Biography
Formed in February 2006, Knoxville, Tennessee’s WHITECHAPEL seamlessly meld death metal, grind, and hardcore to create a blistering brand of modern death metal that leaves fans no other choice but to throw themselves into an uncontrollable frenzy on the dance floor.
WHITECHAPEL stands out in today’s overcrowded metal scene due in part to their ability to fuse memorable and even groovy riffs with crushing breakdowns, tremolo picking at neck breaking speeds, and incredibly evil and dissonant sounds. Their songs demand repeated listens and gang vocals at shows are common place.
WHITECHAPEL’s musical chops shine through on their debut album, The Somatic Defilement. The record systematically crushed those who opened their ears to it and propelled WHITECHAPEL onto the worldwide metal scene, and has kept the band on the road ever since. “The band’s dual vocal attack brand of death grind will pummel you senseless, devastating any notion you had of innocence.” – Mouth Of War.net
This is a band that is true to their music and honest in their delivery. They refuse to be ignored and will continue to bring their crushing metal to show after show until metal heads worldwide have experienced the manic intensity that is WHITECHAPEL!

could we have some REAL metal as well?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all windmill punching to Whitechapel & hardcore music @ SW10,
but theres hardly any heavy as hell metal acts next year.
If bands like Arch Enemy, Suffocation, Opeth & Nile played, it would be the greatest fetival in Australian history

these guys are fucking amazing live. we were lucky enough to support them when they were here last, and even their soundcheck was devastating lol. and the singer is a midget, even though he always looks big otherwise. he stands about 5'5...pretty funny when we first saw him walking around, didn't even recognise him...little phil...
