Knoxville’s Whitechapel are named after the London District in which the famous serial killer Jack The Ripper brutally murdered several prostitutes. Fans of Devourment, Impaled and Aborted will lap up this truly apocalyptic mix of earth shattering low end, blistering death grind and monolithic grooves. Massive. Relentless. Brutal. These are just a few words that have been used to describe the sound of Whitechapel. Fuse together the sheer brutality of death metal, the chaos and technicality of grindcore, the bludgeoning heaviness of sludge, sprinkle a dash of groove on top, throw into the mix a three guitarist assault and the result is the sound that Whitechapel calls their own. Combining the vehement elements of metal with the values and DIY ethics of hardcore, Whitechapel is a driving force that will continue to grow through hard work and determination.
