Whitechapel is an American deathcore band with a consistent core lineup that has released nine studio albums and twenty-two music videos. After releasing their debut album ‘The Somatic Defilement’ in June 2007, Whitechapel quickly solidified their presence in the deathcore scene. The band had secured deals with Siege of Amida Records in the United Kingdom and Candlelight Records in North America earlier that year, before signing with Metal Blade Records in October 2007. Their second album, ‘This Is Exile,’ released in 2008, swiftly made an impact, reaching No.
10 on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of around 16,000 copies, affirming their strong commercial appeal and critical acclaim. Subsequent albums like ‘Mark of the Blade’ in 2016 and ‘The Valley’ in 2019 (which debuted at No. 143 on the Billboard 200) continued to build on their momentum. Throughout their career, Whitechapel has maintained a rigorous recording and touring schedule, underscoring their dedication to their fanbase.
They have undertaken extensive tours across North America and beyond, featuring prominently at major festivals including The Summer Slaughter Tour, Rockstar Mayhem Festival, and Warped Tour. In addition to their nine studio albums, the band has produced twenty-two music videos, consistently engaging their audience with new visual content and maintaining a sustained, powerful presence in the metal music landscape. The band further expanded their discography with the release of ‘Kin’ in 2021, and are set to release their highly anticipated ninth studio album, ‘Hymns in Dissonance,’ on March 7, 2025. This upcoming release is poised to resonate with long-time fans, notably returning to the band’s heavier roots and moving away from the clean vocals featured on some previous records, signaling an exciting new chapter for the acclaimed deathcore band.
