WHITECHAPEL is pleased to present their latest video for Hate Cult Ritual. The punishing track comes off the band’s long-awaited new full-length, Hymns In Dissonance, out now on Metal Blade Records.
Hymns in Dissonance sees the band reinventing themselves, going darker, deeper, and heavier than ever before. “We attempted to write our heaviest album to date,” says guitarist Alex Wade. “We wanted to put out something that was shockingly menacing and brutal.”
Longtime fans will detect hints of the past within the brutality. The riff-tastic Hate Cult Ritual is the only song on the album with Drop A tuning, the tuning the first three WHITECHAPEL albums used. Additionally, Hymns In Dissonance finds vocalist Phil Bozeman living through his “past times,” or as he states, “the music that brought me here. Brutal, dark, aggressive, heavy music. Death metal, black metal, speed metal, etc. I truly believe that your roots call you back at some point in your life and this is that point in my life.”
