In my opinion Whitechapel has the best Death metal vocals around. His lows are soo brutal, probably the best I've ever heard. Although I'm not particularly a fan of high-pitched vocals I enjoy them, and he uses them rarely so it they arent watered down.



Out of all the live metal shows i've seen they put on the most energetic, and amazing performance I have ever seen.



By the way, Phils vocals are even better live.

I'm just gunna get this out there. I loved this album. I guess there's not much about it that is substantially progressive, but they definitely brought their own vibe to the table. Listen to the song Fairy Fay. There's a couple other songs like that with short but really bizarre leads. There are a couple generic breakdowns throughout, but they fixed everything wrong with The Somatic Defilement with their new album, This Is Exile.

I don't think any of those bands use the type of breakdowns we're talking about here, and when they are, I don't think they know they're knowingly doing it.



When "true" or "pure" deathmetal bands, or whatever the elitists call them use a breakdown, it's usually more of a groove riff.

i listened to this album over 200 times when it came out. now, coming from a guy who gets tired of everything new in his life after about 2 weeks, that is saying something. that means something about this album stuck out to me. it's just very heavy. sure, not that original, but it's very heavy.

I made the same mistake regarding their label. Actually, the fact that they were on Candlelight pissed me off A LOT. A band like this should never be alongside Algazanth, Bal-Sagoth, or Insomium...EVER

Good Review! I totally agree with you on so many points. But, i don't agree with one of your cons. It's a Concept album. So, yes, many of these songs are going to sound alike. The whole album is a story. Stories about Jack the Ripper and the things he did to his victims. There is rape, murder and very grotesque imagery. "Raping her and hacking. Slashing. Violated.

I’m not sorry. I don’t care at all for what I did

You deserve everything you get

Disinclined. Her fear is keeping me enticed

Her gateway of sin exposed for fornication

Get over your dysphagia

I see the moisture in your eyes is dehydrating

Your screaming vibrations

Only draw me nigh to rupturing climax

As she chokes and gargles spit

I stimulate her salty clitoris

Cutting incisions while reaching climax

How can you expect me to let up

You deserve it

Give me your tongue

I wan to leave you an eternal taste of me

Let them know in hell

Why fight. You’ll just rue the day

That you try to escape the conscience of the dead

Hold your throat and pray for help

Take this oath to the grave and never let it out

Look in these eyes and endure the sleep you’ll need

Before you awake to nothing

Fucked and left for dead

This is war. Fight

I am bored. But fulfilled

Please if you don’t mind fulfill my passion

Gagging on my semen is required. Swallow

Spread it on your face

Choke on the snot and reingest all of the foam

Take one final breath

I want to see what you have learned

And what you stand for

Choking and dryheaving"



This is song number four, one of my favs(if i were to have one).

very brutal and sadistic lyrics

Fun listen I find myself headbanging to most of the tracks easily. I prefer This is Exile though the tracks are solid on that.
