Whitechapel have unleashed a full-album stream of their latest offering Mark Of The Blade. The record is scheduled to drop next Friday, June 24th through Metal Blade Records. Pre-orders are still available and can be picked up at this location.
The album marks a first for the band as it features clean vocals on the fourth track “Bring Me Home”. I know many times metal bands say they’re going to go that route there is some major backlash but you gotta give things a chance. Just like it worked for Lamb Of God with “Overlord” it works for the Tennessee death metallers. I really enjoyed the song and just thought I’d give it a shout-out since it’s been something of a hot topic concerning this album. Regarding the album as a whole, dig it. It’s got some heavy/fast tracks that are sure to induce some major pits, along with groovier songs to just jam to. You should definitely dig into that stream below.
