Knoxville, Tennessee’s Whitechapel just released a new music video for the instrumental track “Without You” that leads into the track “Without Us” off the band’s 8th studio album Kin. The video was shot and produced by David Brodsky of MyGoodEye Visuals and can be seen here.
Here’s what guitarist Alex Wade has to say about the video for “Without You/Without Us“:
“We are excited to release our final video from the Kin album cycle for “Without You/Without Us”. We worked with longtime friend David Brodsky and MyGoodEye Visuals on bringing this epic battle to life and feel it is a great way to close this album as we begin work on our 9th album.”
Lyrics to Without Us
Come to the surface my son, you’re not breathing so well
I couldn’t stand to lose you another time
But this is not real, we’re not here
Don’t you understand that we’ve already lost one another
Please accept reality so I can finally be free
Where will we be in the years to come
I know somewhere inside you is me crying out for help
But I’m right here with you begging you to see the hell we’ve created
I know it’s hard to accept the truth but it’s time to let this all go
Let this all go
I’m holding onto your neck
It’s taking everything in me to not watch you fade out
Into the sound of nothing
But this is not real, we’re not here
Don’t you understand that we both have to move on together
Without you, there’s no me
There’s no us, there’s no family
It’s so dark
It’s so quiet now
Is there anyone out there
Anyone
I’m alone again, just what I’m used to
I’m here
Bow to the ancient god
The portal is shut, locked, no way out
This is home
This isn’t home, it’s hell with a lovely face
The mask just hides the truth can controls our fate
Take a look around, my friend
That part of our life is dead
So tell me, where will we be in the years to come
I know somewhere inside you is me crying out for help
But I’m right here with you begging you to see the hell we’ve created
I know it’s hard to accept the truth but it’s time to let this all go
Let this all go

About the band:
At this stage in the game, the name Whitechapel commands respect. Already sitting on one of the most enviable catalogs in contemporary metal, in 2019 they dropped The Valley, showcasing a confident evolution in their sound and standing as a true landmark release that sets a new standard for the genre. “To me, it was like the stars aligning for us to create our almost perfect record in regard to songwriting, vocal performance, the mix and master, and the artwork,” says guitarist Alex Wade. “We like to look at our albums as chapters of our career, and that is one chapter I will never forget. I think it really solidified that we can embrace a new sound, and if we execute it properly, then the fanbase is going to support and enjoy it.” In 2021, they returned with that album’s successor, the mighty Kin, which is an even more dynamic and diverse collection, further advancing the band’s sound into new territory without losing sight of what brought them to this point. “I feel with every album, we learn what worked best on the last one and try to utilize that in our writing. Early in the writing, there was some discussion of the album being like ‘The Valley’ part II, not literally called that, but in how the songs sound and flow through it. It’s very much a storytelling type record like ‘The Valley’ was,” adds vocalist Phil Bozeman, “Musically, we just want to create what we vibe with at the given moment. We write music with how we feel and not what is expected of us, while lyrically the idea of continuing from the story of ‘The Valley’ was always the goal.“
“For a generation of fans, Whitechapel are the most legitimately brutal band of the deathcore movement” – Kerrang!
“Their music attacks from the first track, and they draw you in, commanding your attention with their performance and presence. This is how I’ve always felt about Whitechapel” – Metal Nation
“Whitechapel has certainly become, in my opinion, one of the more unique metal bands still making music today” – Metal injection
