This isn't bad, just quite back to basics standard deathcore. I enjoyed the experimentation in Valley/Kin, think it was really successful. History is Silent, especially, is still on regular rotation



Edit - the closer is really good

when y'all say LS is bad, i'm assuming you mean everything after Immortal, right? i can't imagine Tom Barber slander occurring here

That band has always been a prime example of everything wrong with modern deathcore. Overproduced fake heavy mess

Yeah honestly its all good, just glad they're getting some honest attention from everyone finally. That will get more people out to see them live, and then it's all over lol.

The middle stretch of this is really strong when it really starts slammin, not as good as kin but pretty good for a sort of throwback return, those usually piss me off.

I've given this a few more listens and I can say that I don't like Diabolic slumber, a visceral retch and hate cult ritual, but the rest is decent, especially the last few tracks.

Still miss the Kin/Valley sound, though (wish the whole album sounded like 2:18 onwards of the closing track!). As onionbubs said, they've created a divided fanbase with the jumps in style between albums

I thought this is really good. My taste for deathcore is pretty limited. Shadow Intent top of the tree then early make them suffer and a few older bands I can get into. I’ve never listened to Whitechapel and thought I’d listen to that album again. Not so with this one. It’s like they’ve taken the best bits of current modern deathcore and stripped it back to blend in with their og sound. One of the breakdowns got almost a little to Lorna Shore sounding, a band whose breakdowns ruin their music. They kind of capped it at that and don’t overuse that sound throughout the record. Two listens in and fairly enjoying it.

apart for the last couple songs it sounded like a bland wall of sound. The Valley and Kin were refreshing surprises, this feel like regression

It will be tough to find a replacement for the sound on Kin, for sure. IDK who else is capable of putting out a song like I Will Find You.

Honnestly, I get where they come from and all the deathcore/ metalcore takes, but there s some serious deathgrind, brootal, almost tech vibes from bands like Aborted or Cattle decap, in production and vocals mainly. Sure there s still some groovy bouncing, which is cool.

@DDDeftoneDDD Phil Bozeman mentioned on a podcast that some of his inspirations when he started out were Gore Metal by Exhumed and Goremageddon by Aborted. I'm not surprised there's influences in Whitechapel's music.

This beat my expectations by a lot. Not sure that it warrants a second listen but it was fun.
