WHITECHAPEL Guitarist Interviewed By U.K.'s DEAD PRESS! (Audio)

November 8, 2010

Dead Press! conducted an interview with guitarist Alex Wade of Knoxville, Tennessee death metallers WHITECHAPEL on November 6, 2010 at Academy 2 in Manchester, England during the band's U.K. tour with JOB FOR A COWBOY, ANNOTATIONS OF AN AUTOPSY and TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED. You can now listen to the chat in the YouTube clip below.

WHITECHAPEL's third album, "A New Era Of Corruption", sold around 10,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 43 on The Billboard 200 chart. Released on June 8 via Metal Blade Records, the CD was recorded at Audiohammer studios in Sanford, Florida with acclaimed producer Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM, ALL THAT REMAINS, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, CHIMAIRA, DEVILDRIVER).

WHITECHAPEL's previous album, "This Is Exile", opened with 5,900 copies in July 2008 to land at No. 117.

Handling artwork for "A New Era Of Corruption" was Brent Elliot White, who previously worked with JOB FOR A COWBOY and CARNIFEX. "Brent absolutely nailed it," states Alex. "The dark and ominous vibe he portrayed with his art fits the mood of the CD perfectly."

"A New Era Of Corruption" features guest vocals from Vincent of THE ACACIA STRAIN on the track "Murder Sermon" and Chino from the DEFTONES on the track "Reprogrammed to Hate".

WHITECHAPEL's "The Darkest Day Of Man" was filmed in April by famed metal video director David Brodsky of MyGoodEye.
