As for new Whitechapel, the band is currently working on it! Whitechapel frontman Phil Bozemen recently took to Reddit to comment on the record, assuring everyone that it'll indeed be heavy as fuck.
"Hey guys, Phil from Whitechapel here. I know there's a concern for me saying 'this is our heaviest album we've ever made.' If you want peace of mind on that promise, one of the songs is about mammoth, obese demons gorging themselves with food and making the poor and needy eat their shit. You wanted brutal and dark. I'm not fucking around."
Bozemen later compared new Whitechapel to the band's 2008 record This Is Exile. So yeah, it's gonna get brutal.
