Whitechapel release a new single “A Visceral Retch”

Author Benedetta Baldin - 12.9.2024

Deathcore legends Whitechapel have finally released their new song, “A Visceral Retch,” to the public online. On September 11th, SiriusXM gave the song an early premiere. Tonight, the song made its official debut on all major digital service providers. The group recently added former Enterprise Earth drummer Brandon Zackey as a permanent member, and this song showcases his skills. Zackey joined the group last month. The group first announced that they were working on a ninth studio album in the summer of 2023, and this song is a prelude to it.

‘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. Phil Bozeman
