Whitechapel Part Ways with Drummer Ben Harclerode
The PRP is reporting that Whitechapel have parted ways with drummer Ben Harclerode. Harclerode had been in the band since 2011 and played on the band’s past three full-length albums.
Harclerode confirmed the news in a series of casual replies to fans on Twitter, painting the picture of an amicable split:

very true. I'm not emotionally invested any longer so its not fair to myself, the band or the fans for me to continue

The band has not yet commented on the split, but The PRP reports that drummer Chason Westmoreland — who played in Hate Eternal for quite some time, and recently split with The Faceless amidst some controversy — will be filling in on the band’s upcoming dates in Europe.
More as we learn it.
