Whitechapel’s “Hate Cult Ritual” Video is Full of Flame, Fighting, and Fury
This past Friday, deathcore outfit Whitechapel dropped an absolute banger with their latest album Hymns In Dissonance. Seriously, if you haven’t listened to it yet you’re fuckin’ up. The album may already be out, but that doesn’t mean they’re done promoting the ever-living piss out of it. Hence today’s release of their new single and accompanying music video for the track “Hate Cult Ritual.”
Now, with a tour North American tour coming up featuring themselves, 200 Stab Wounds, Brand of Sacrifice, and Alluvial, the dudes in Whitechapel are likely using this single/video combo to get people hyped for the upcoming shows. And since the new album’s release, this track has stood out as the only one where the band is playing in its original Drop A tuning, while frontman Phil Bozeman said he goes back to “the music that brought me here” while speaking of “Hate Cult Ritual.”
“The sin of wrath: this song portrays the overwhelming rage of the cult. Planting the seed of evil within the core of the earth to be birthed from soil. All the rivers and oceans are diseased which nourishes their unborn lord, roaming the earth and murdering all opposers.”
Hell yeah.
Guitarist Alex Wade said he pulled from a particularly important inspiration when working on this track.
“I was inspired a lot by Bloodbath when writing this one and felt like Phil nailed the vibe vocally contributing to that. There is a ferocity and evilness to this track that I think really sets it apart from the rest. No breakdowns, just pummeling riffs with evil chanting over the choruses.”
