A return to brutal roots just prior to a highly anticipated North American trek.
The next chapter of Whitechapel is under wraps, but until then, the band are readying audiences for the madness to come through standalone single, A Visceral Retch — a relentless new offering that comes ripe for the live setting. This thrill ride of a listen will please those who gravitated towards the band's earlier years, as well as those keen for a blood-curling audiovisual experience.
Frontman Phil Bozeman comments on the track:
“‘A Visceral Retch’ is a song that fans of The Somatic Defilement will latch onto immediately. It was one of the first songs we had in the chamber to work with. This song came to light thanks mostly to [guitarist] Zach Householder. He showed us and we all immediately said, ‘yup, that’s it.’ Zach is notorious for very dark and horror-like vibes so this album is right in his wheelhouse. The song is disturbing. Imagine being put in a situation of survival by gluttonous, mammoth demons that give you a choice. Eat the demons’ waste, eat each other, or starve to death. The twist, you’re against the people you love the most. It’s a way to find the ones that are truly evil people to build and strengthen their cult. It also represents how horrible people can really be, when push comes to shove.”
