WHITECHAPEL Launch Animated Music Video For ‘Doom Woods’ Track
June 25th, 2020

Knoxville, Tennesee-based deathcore group Whitechapel have released an official animated music video for the track ‘Doom Woods’, which can be accessed below.

Guitarist Alex Wade stated: “We are excited to release the animated video for ‘Doom Woods’ off our 2019 release The Valley. While we have some time off from touring, we thought it would be a great time to give a visual representation to the closing track from the album. We were blown away with what the design team was able to create and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. It really gives the track a new depth.”

Whitechapel issued seventh full-length studio album The Valley on March 29th, 2019 through Metal Blade Records.

The outing can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.

The Valley’s title is a reference to the part of Hardin Valley (west of Knoxville) where vocalist Phil Bozeman grew up.

“Phil has been upfront in his lyrics in the past about hardships he endured in his life as a child, and I believe with this record we tried to paint a better picture of that,” commented guitarist Alex Wade. “I feel our music is Phil’s release from his past, being able to get it out and speak about it, and hopefully anyone who hears it that may have gone through similar experiences can find some release in it as well.”

Whitechapel deem The Valley as being recognizable as a work of theirs, but still an evolution. “Sound-wise, it’s all over the place,” Bozeman said. “There’s aggression, and then you’re hit with ominous and emotional guitar riffs. It’s mean, but then transfers to soft and inviting. It’s a whirlwind of emotions throughout.”

The Valley was produced by Mark Lewis, mixed by David Castillo, and mastered by Ted Jensen.

Cover artwork duties fell to Branca Studio.

The track listing is as follows;

01. ‘When A Demon Defiles A Witch’
02. ‘Forgiveness Is Weakness’
03. ‘Brimstone’
04. ‘Hickory Creek’
05. ‘Black Bear’
06. ‘We Are One’
07. ‘The Other Side’
08. ‘Third Depth’
09. ‘Lovelace’
10. ‘Doom Woods’

Whitechapel’s line-up is as follows;

Phil Bozeman (vocals)
Ben Savage (guitar)
Zach Householder (guitar)
Alex Wade (guitar)
Gabe Crisp (bass)

An acoustic version of the song ‘Hickory Creek’ can also be streamed below.

Directed by Mathis Arnell, music videos were filmed for the tracks ‘When A Demon Defiles A Witch’ and ‘Hickory Creek’. Both clips can also be viewed below.
