Absolute insanity. The boys in Whitechapel proved they still got it. Brutal, fun even though it's not supposed to be, it just goes stupid hard and I'll never get over it. From start to finish it's ripping your face off without an apology and you love it.
Production on point, tho I wish the guitars were highlighted more. Those riffs go hard as fuck.
Philly B goes insane on the vocals, easily out-screaming every other modern deathcore singer.
It just works. My 2025 AOTY, I ... read more
I just did my review for their newest album and I went back to see what their lowest rated one was. So here we are.
You know... I hate that I kinda love this?
It's like if you told me this was the first album ever recorded that sounded just like the deathcore/slam we know today... I'd believe you. Cause the production is fucking miserable. Sounds like they recorded the guitars and drums straight from amps over Skype... But that somehow adds onto the charm?

God DAMN this thing is fun. I've already loved Fear & Dagger, and now the band takes a big step forward with this one.

Only thing I could say is missing, are like 2 or 3 more songs. Run time's short already, and with how much I enjoyed it, 28 minutes flew by in what felt like an instant.
What a way to start the year.
76 -> 62
It's still fun, but I hate how this ended up in my ... read more
Well, damn.
I expected him to go harder. It has its moments for sure, my jaw dropped at the scream on the first track, Nod If You Understand could genuinely be on Holy Wood, As Sick As The Secrets Within is incredibly catchy, the last song has this creepy, sad atmosphere, but other than that, the rest just kinda feels very samey and tends to go nowhere with tons of tension built up. Production gets a bit painful at times aswell.
Maybe we'll get something more fun on Chapter 2?
