Fun fact, when they came up to Alaska in 2010 they played about 4-5 songs till they broke the entire stage on a breakdown. That was it! Didn't see them again till a couple months ago in Sacramento.
I’ve been having a rough time lately, and I stumbled across these videos today. Really helped lift my spirits! Thank you. All the love from here in Nebraska.
That’s the best thing you could ever tell me .. I’m so glad I could make you feel a little better !! Feel free to join our discord and hang out with us too🤘🏻🔥
I saw them a few weeks ago in Paris with Thy Art, Fit For An Autopsy and Spite. They ended the show with "This Is Exile". It was brutal, but I wanted to hear more "old school" songs on stage !
These guys are the hometown heroes where I live in the Knoxville area, and I remember finding them in 2012 after I found Suicide Silence and from then on I was obsessed with with Chapel and anything they did. Then, finding out they were from the area I grew up just blew my mind, and ended up supporting everything they did! I have seen like 6 or 7 times now, and one of my best friends was at target in Knoxville seen Phil and he played some of Our Endless War early for him because he had time to kill! I genuinely don’t give a single fuck what anyone says about these guys they are legends, and make me damn proud to be where I’m from!!
I'm sure someone has mentioned it already but Brandon Cagle is their sound guy for most if not all their shows. He's still a pivotal member of the band
I remember the 1st time i saw them they had just released their 1st album. It was crazy 3 guitarist plus a bass player, also the deepest bass drops ive ever heard. I was hooked immediately.
I have always loved Whitechapel, they're definitely a nostalgic band to me now. Memories of hanging out with my goofy friends as a teenager and driving around listening to Whitechapel together flood my mind when I hear them. I actually ran into Phil on Diablo 3 in 2019, he invited my friends and I to a party in game and added us to his discord server, then proceeded to carry us through GR 110s for about 4 hours and it was one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me. Who wouldn't be stoked to game with their favorite vocalist? 🤘
This Is Exile will always be the best deathcore album ever to me. Perfect balance of technicality, groove, caveman riffs and epic atmosphere. The Cleansing is really close but nothing matches the epic feel this is exile to me.
The cleansing was recorded for free in a friend's garage so yah by default the sound quality by itself would be better and SS didn't have a producer to help them with it they pretty much had him JUST record it.
@@justinbowen1183 the production of the Cleansing, to me, is the best in all of Deathcore. You can hear that it was recorded live, all musicians in the room. it has an intensity that most Deathcore, especially nowadays, simply lacks imho
@@terriblecertainity I myself also prefer to live record but not all projects work out with it. I feel that if you primarily want people to come see you oige that you should record it live in 1 take as is but that's just me. Sitting there in a studio and getting it to sound as good as it can I feel in a way kind of lies to people about your sound quality because your primary emphasis is your live shows so record it all live exactly how it would sound at your show. My old band we took a pretty decent pocket recorder and stacked up a bunch of milk crates and just played everything with it at eye level because that's how the audience is going to hear it. We played each song live but we recorded them 1 at a time
@@justinbowen1183 agree on that! I have no issue with recording seperately, double tracking etc. I do that myself. But there comes a point where you punch in too much, edit too much, and all humanity ( and to me) and emotional impact is lost. Distant's productions are my prime example of this. I doesn't even sound like humans anymore. Everything is on grit , you don't even get the slightest hints of fret noise or other imperfections. Which bores me.
🤘🏻 Bro I'm from Knoxville Tennessee I'm 48 and Iv have seen a lot of death metal here but Whitechapel back in the day was brutal especially the hometown shows keep up the awesome content 🤘🏻🖤
I have the chance to catch Whitechapel from their debut Australian tour back in 2009, Phil is definitely a really chilled dude to chat with after the show
Whitechapel is my favorite deathcore band of all time, with Suicide Silence being just a hair behind them. It all comes down to Phil for me personally, Mitch without a doubt has the best highs in deathcore history. But Phil is just so well rounded, solid highs, great mids and in my opinion the best lows in the genre. I know we're talking about the MySpace era here, but I still have to mention that the dude can actually sing pretty damn good too. Being able to make cleans fit in so well on a deathcore album probably isn't the easiest thing in the world. Anyway... I love the videos my friend, I always look forward to seeing a new upload from you. 🤘
I love that this channel is exactly the kind of content I've been wanting to watch, now if you start doing things on death metal bands and related genres too that would be nuts.
I really appreciate your content. It takes me back. I think you'll blow up in this niche along with your peers ala cozy representative & the punk rock mba. Keep it up and I will keep tuning in! I hope to see one on early parkway drive !
I remember seeing them when they first started in 2006. They played their first show in Nashville at Rocketown on the coffee bar stage. There were probably only 10 people watching including me and a few friends. We were amazed by their sound and knew they were gonna blow up.
White chapel is definitely a top favorite. Looking forward towards your next video man! I’m sure you’ve heard of the band “Animosity” hope to see a MySpace era video on them soon🤘
@@SatanAteMyCatsTHATS THE ONLY SHOW IVE MISSED OF THEIRS! MY FIRST METAL SHOW EVER WAS THE 2017 BENEFIT SHOW WITH CARNIFEX AND ENTHEOS WHERE THE PLAYED THE SOMATIC DEFILEMENT TOP TO BOTTOM AND MY JAW WAS ON THE FLOOR THE ENTIRE TIME
Man, I literally love your channel. I was in my teens during the MySpace band explosion. Norma Jean, Whitechapel, Number 12, Thursday, Sky Eats Airplane, Sawtooth Grin...just so many amazing bands during that time.
I super relate to this. I did the exact same thing, fell into stuff like The Faceless, found Protest the Hero and so many bands that I still listen to now. I'm actually seeing Protest next week for the first time. I saw Norma Jean a few times, but the best was the tour with the Chariot and Scogin came out to perform Memphis with them. I would sit for hours and just find new music to listen to on MySpace and show my friends. Such good memories from that time.@@CheapSushi
Absolutely. Stoked to follow along and see what you do next. Keep it up! Have you seen many of these bands live? I've seen most of them, I think my favorite shows were All Shall Perish, See You Next Tuesday, and I got to see Necrophagist play with Beneath the Massacre and Dying fetus in '08-'09. So many awesome memories seeing these bands. @@xtheyan
I remember seeing Whitechapel right before they blew up at soundwave festival Brisbane 2010 with Trivium and a day to remember. Absolute powerhouse show! Knew that they were headed for a bright future.
great video, I think u just missed talking about the collaborations in a new era of corruption, because they are just absolutely great and some have interesting backgrounds
I listen to black metal in my younger years still do today but white chapel opened me wide open for deathcore with that fairy fay song also about to download discord!
I saw them at warped tour, I don’t think any other band that day had the same crowd or performance. They absolutely killed it! Also valley and kin aren’t deathcore per se but as far as metal albums those might be some of the greatest music to have come out imo.
Whitechapel is my reason for the love of deathcore. I discovered them in middle school when they released the somatic defilement. I have followed them since. In my part of nc shows were hard to find. In 2016 I drove 4 hours to see them play this is exile in full. My first time getting in a pit. I will forever cherish that memory.
Saw This band live for the 2nd time last Sunday! They are still really amazing live, arguably even better than they’ve ever been, Phil’s screams are insane!
This Is Exile is still so special. I remeber the first time hearing it, thinking " they finally combined the heaviness of the genre with well structured, catchy songs"
I don’t know, if someone already mentioned that, but a fun fact about their original guitar player Brandon - he got involved in tour managing/sound providing on tour, I believe mainly for Whitechapel, so he still got to go on tour and live that lifestyle and be around music every single day. Alex Wade talked about it on an interview they did some years back. So happy for him!
Love your videos man! Really good job covering every band from this era. Only piece of advice I’d say for future videos is less of the word “amazing”. Kind of a dumb critique 😂 but it’s just something I feel like would help your videos.
I discovered whitechapel from the mitch lucker memorial show. I also discovered danny worsnap which lead me to Asking Alexandria as eell as Austin carell from of mice and men
I started listening to them as a joke. A friend showed them to me because he misheard lyrics. A couple of lines into the song "The Darkest Day of Man" he says "with the time and preparation" and it sounds like "with the Dr Pepper retard". You can't unhear it hahahaha. That was in 2010 and I've been listening ever since.
Fuck yea loved the early whitechapel and still fuck with em but seriously bro we need that The acacia strain video im from western mass and u have no idea how nutty early t.a.s. shows were fucking brutal saw them so.many fucking times they were legends around Springfield mass
I remember seeing them open up for the devil wears Prada in toledo ohio no one knew who they were and ever since then they have been mu all time favorite band 🤘🤘
Phil bozeman is so damn great, he has multiple generations of people doing low gutterals. The beginning to the somatic defilement is the birth place to deathcore vocalists doing low gutterals. Such a great album. Let's be honest, we all tried to do the beginning gutteral to the somatic defilement LOL. This is exile is amazing too. The iconic "This world is ours" line still gives me goosebumps to this day. People in the deathcore community should be giving this man props for popularizing and shaping deathcore today vocal wise.
fun fact: according to an interview with Rock Hard magazine, Whitechapel tried to emulated the Black Metal classic " in the nightside eclipse" on This Is Exile
This is Exile came out my freshman year of high school and The Somatic Defilement ,The Cleansing and Doom were my trifecta. One of my prized positions is a towel that PhillyBo wiped his sweaty face with that I caught in the crowd.
17:01 from an elder deathcore head lol. I loved/hated seeing Whitechapel or suicidesilence play with Canibal corpse or Aborted and any Death Metal bands. I absolutely loved them separately but the fans of each are drastically different. WC would take the stage and the younger ones like me would want to hardcore dance. and the Old ass gatekeepers that were there to see Aborted or Cannibal would start fights or throw people outta the pit. Even make fun blockades so you couldn’t have fun. You can totally see it in the 2008 live sections of your videos. Look at all the dudes dead still, arms crossed looking absolutely miserable. It was so frustrating until WC started headlining or Summer Slaughter tour would come through.
One of my favorite live videos is of whitechapel when they were still hella small the only problem is i could only find it on myspace way back in the day 😩
