Alex Wade discussed Whitechapel’s new album in a recent interview with Revolver, and said that the band are experimenting a bit. He even said that Phil Bozeman is trying his hand at clean vocals, after being inspired by Randy Blythe’s (Lamb Of God) vocals on “Overlord.”
Here is what he had to say:
“I’m not gonna say the whole record is chuggy, but a lot of it is. And there are also passages that have a lot of atmosphere, as well as clean parts that let the songs breathe before we come back with something really heavy. If you’re playing really fast and you try to throw in a bunch of different guitar parts it just sounds like mush. But when you’ve got one guy barreling right down the middle and the other two complimenting the riff, it opens up new opportunities.”
“We all thought it was really cool how Randy [Blythe] from Lamb Of God wasn’t afraid to try some manly melodic vocals on their last record [VII: Sturm und Drang]. So Phil’s diving into that a little and seeing where it goes. He’s actually got a great singing voice.”
UPDATE: Bozeman has since tweeted the following:
