Label : Metal Blade Records
Release : 7-3-2025
Formed in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 2006, Whitechapel has had its core lineup—vocalist Phil Bozeman; guitarists Ben Savage, Zach Householder, and Alex Wade; bassist Gabe Crisp—intact since 2007, with the exception of drummer Brandon Zackey, who has been with the band since 2022. While Hymns in Dissonance chronologically follows 2021’s Kin , thematically the new album is a sequel of sorts to This is Exile , with the three-word title Hymns in Dissonance representing that correlation.
“The album follows the story of a cultist who gathers worthy people to join his cult,” Wade continues, “and there are moments in the storyline where the cultists sing an evil hymn to open a portal for the head cultist to enter.” The band’s dynamic, brash musicianship serves as a soundtrack to the compelling lyrical story that vocalist Phil Bozeman vividly depicts. “Hymns in Dissonance is a parody of the true nature of what hymns are,” Bozeman explains.
