Whitechapel debuted the video for its latest single this week.
The band premiered the video for its new single, ‘A Bloodsoaked Symphony’ Wednesday. The song is the second single from the band’s forthcoming album, Kin, which is scheduled for release Oct. 29 through Metal Blade Records. The band premiered the album’s lead single, ‘Lost Boy,’ last month.
The NSFW video features front man Phil Bozeman taking what are supposed to be the corpses of his dead parents to a cave where he conducts an incantation to bring them back to life. This as blood drips from the cave’s ceiling, and as he drinks what is supposed to be blood as part of the incantation.
This is not meant to promote anything anti-Christian. The visualization, directed by David Brodsky, is meant to show the desperation that Bozeman feels at having lost his parents. This even though in the band’s most recent album, The Valley, at least one of the record’s songs seemed to pain his parents as dysfunctional, ironically. It leads one to wonder why Bozeman would feel any mournfulness at their passing.
The musical arrangement featured in Whitechapel’s new song is just as heavy as anything that the band has ever crafted. Bozeman’s gutteral screams pair with the heavy, crunching guitars, and the equally heavy bass and drums to fully immerse listeners in the song.
