Overview
COLORED VINYL BLUE BLACK Limited blue and black colored vinyl LP pressing. At this stage in the game the name Whitechapel commands respect. Already sitting on one of the most enviable catalogs in contemporary metal in 2019 they dropped The Valley showcasing a confident evolution in their sound and standing as a true landmark release that sets a new standard for the genre. In 2021 they return with that albums successor the mighty Kin which is an even more dynamic and diverse collection further advancing the bands sound into new territory without losing sight of what brought them to this point. The commencement of writing for the album was a direct result of the Covid pandemic the band having several tours lined up to finish out the cycle for The Valley but when these got cancelled they decided to refocus their energies and begin working on a new record. The result is a collection that explores a lot of sonic and emotional territory and for the first time it could be said that a Whitechapel record is as much a rock album as it is a metal one an assertion guitarist Alex Wade agrees with: Its still very much a metal album I dont think you would hear any of the songs on mainstream radio but there are elements of the record that have more of a rock and open vibe. We really wanted these songs to breathe and have life and to sound bigger than anything weve made so far. We have explored more singing on Kin too. It wouldnt make sense to have the majority of the fanbase enjoy that sound and then shy away from it. H 0.32 W 12.20 L 12.25.
