Whitechapel - Bedlam (Official Video)

Buy here: http://www.metalblade.com/whitechapel At this stage in the game, the name Whitechapel commands the ultimate respect. Already sitting on one of the most enviable catalogs in contemporary metal, in 2019 they dropped The Valley, highlighting a confident evolution in their sound and standing as a true landmark release that sets a new standard for the genre. With Bozeman exploring childhood trauma on 2019's The Valley, it was their darkest release to-date. But with its 2021 successor, Kin, the story was darker still.

With those chapters of Bozeman's life exorcised lyrically, Hymns in Dissonance mines a darkness that's not lyrically personal. And, says Wade, "I don't think HID follows Kin musically at all. If anything, it's the polar opposite. For this album it was fun to be able to just let loose and write ignorantly heavy music again. This album stands on its own," Wade concludes. "Phil was able to create a fresh story to write about, which, in turn, helped us write music with a fresher sound."

LYRICS: I am the teeth that grinds at your bones As you lie there a failure and your will so weak I am the ache you feel in your tomb As you lay in your body still wide awake

You will never be born again Peel the skin, feel the wind enter in Below the surface of your flesh I confess, I obsess over feeling you cease to be But I know you’re still there so look at me, look at me Look at me so I can see your dead fucking eyes Don’t blink, child of none Your nothing to all

You said you would swallow the earth Now you wish for rebirth from its girth Denounced, despised The heir to sin eternally mine Bedlam, I have manifested As he lies stiff, infested with a soul so dead No brother of mine will be praised again for letting holy men repent

Descend into the mouth of failure and doubt Your body forgot and never found

I know you can hear my voice You feel everything I grit my teeth as every bone breaks Can you scream for me, I need to hear it Louder, louder Let me hear you scream

I know that you’re in there Right where you’re supposed to be I know that you’re scared Now let me hear you scream

You said you would swallow the earth Now you wish for rebirth from its girth Denounced, despised The heir to sin eternally mine Bedlam, I have manifested As he lies stiff, infested with a soul so dead No brother of mine will be praised again for letting holy men repent

Repent You’ll never be reborn
