Phil Bozeman: “This video means more to me than any video we've ever done. It portrays my struggle through dealing with my dad's death at the age of 10. The shots of me show me at my darkest moments. Suicidal thoughts, suicide note and feeling alone. The atmosphere of the room we shot this is nailed exactly how I was feeling at the time. Dark, depressed and suicidal. The shots of the man and young boy portray my bond I had with my dad and how devastated I was when he left. They are presented to be in a dream like state of me remembering him. The last shot is from my dad and mom's actual gravesite. It's really awesome to have that authenticity to the video. The final scene is showing that I came out of it alive but no matter what, I will push forward and not give up.”

So sad your parents passed away at such young age. Be strong man!!!
Metal Blade Records i cried. such a powerful song. lost my dad too.
Metal Blade Records This video is so well done, it makes me feel like it was me, and my father was dead, I literally almost cried here. Congrats Phil on such emotional and powerful video.
Metal Blade Records phil i think you're a big musician and i love your work my goal its to be big like you thanks for your music
This video really moved me. As an aspiring musician and someone who has dealt with their demons all of their life I feel I understand your pain although I will never know it. Phil stay strong. We are all a family in the metal community when you feel as though you have nobody you have your brother in arms.
That last scene got me right in the feels. I wish people understood that songs are about emotions, not genres.
That's a great way to put it. Invariably, what musicians write and record at 19 will always be different than what they do at 30 after touring the world a dozen times.
Metal Blade Records completely agree. I've been listening to chapel since 2006. they've come along way . I still remember skating to best buy just to pick up the somatic defilement album.. they'll always be a part of my life..

"I'll never forgive the world for taking my best friend."
Damn.
I know man. 😢😖
I cry every time. My homie took his life and this songs KILLS me R.I.P.
Aw dude these songs kill me. Like literally destroy me.
Goosebumps Everytime it's inevitable
Wife’s grandfather just passed who was seriously my favorite person on this planet so now that verse cuts me right in the feels.
No one commenting on how fucking great the beautiful solo fits the song?
Sam Slotemaker I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed! That was an outstanding guitar solo. It had a powerful, mournful quality that added another layer of emotion to an already feelstastic song
Ikr, exactly reminds me of the song what if I was nothing.
I was pleasantly surprised that ben eller wrote this solo
Uncle Ben, everyone! Such a great guitarist!
Alef Sousa what!!! That’s sick I had no clue uncle Ben wrote it
Heavy doesn't always mean musically. A song can be emotionally heavy. Like this one.
ACE Music It's cool that you got to meet Jesse from Killswitch. Such a cool dude
I don't mind it if they haven't completely transitioned. This isn't heavy, if it was, it wouldn't have any screaming. Heavy is dark, screaming in a song like this makes it seem like they are dipping their toes into the water - which isn't heavy.
i beg to differ. tasteful screaming is heavy, be it used at certain parts of a song or throughout an entire song, as long as the song calls for it. examples of each; hospital for souls by bmth, a lot of singing as well as tasteful bits of screaming, and letter to the unborn by lamb of god, nothing but screaming throughout. both songs are about as emotionally heavy as it comes in the metal genre. you've never been hit so deeply by something good or bad that you felt like screaming? I'm not implying my opinion on whether this song is heavy or not, just thoroughly disagreeing with your unnecessarily black and white statement.
most pantera songs dont have screaming. you think they aren't heavy?
ACE Music couldn't have said it better myself
Not even kidding; if Whitechapel dropped the deathcore/metalcore act and went for more of this 'dark southern rock' stuff, I'd be completely okay with that.
Yeah if they switched into a rock band that'd be awesome. Or if Phil just made a side project where he does only cleans cause the man definitely has the talent to do them.
Tommy Wertz Same
Post metal
Tommy Wertz fucking saaaaame man.
I hope they do a mix. Variety is nice, especially when you've demonstrated that you can pull off a few different styles well like they have here.
Never thought Whitechapel could make me cry. You will see him again Phil. Much love dude
Yeah I've never cried for a music video. But this one did.
it doesn't seem that Phil believes in afterlife looking at his lyrics
I'm glad I'm not the only one
Great Comment! I seem to have sand or dust in my eyes too. And I hope Phil see's his dad and all loved ones lost, even if he dose not think he might.
Whoa
"I know well meet in the end, but I'll never forgive the world for taking my best friend"
Just look at him during that line.... That's true, honest writing
Brandon Jeffers it’s so passion-filled.
Time ?

I'm sure your father is very proud of you Phil! Stay strong! I'm 16, and I lost my father back in July so I know exactly how you feel. I love this song. Keep doing what you do. Your father is surely proud of you.
I lost my father in July of 2013. It's very normal for us to mourn. Stay strong.
Dominic Dimartino I lost my Dad last year July 7th, 2015 from Colon Cancer. It's very hard to live without him but I try to have a good life and make him proud he would want that and your father would want that for you too
man.... I lost my father 10 years ago and I was 6 when he died. Till this day I still remember him and think of him every day. I absolutely love deathcore, but also love the emotional touch this song has. Thank you Whitechapel for creating this masterpiece!
Dominic Dimartino That's sucks man. Stay strong and never give up. Just remember that your father always wanted you to be happy. Don't let your problems break your life. Remember it. RIP
I lost my dad in January of 2015 so I know how it feels. Stay strong man.
Rip Phil's parents... great song very deep
Youngest Grain That ending had me crying
Tyler powell Yes I am a pussy because I am a human that expresses grief and sadness through crying .... foolish one
Popkilla 999 Why you giving him attention? Don't be butthurt
I've heard this song a thousand times and I knew what it was about but the clip got me too. Shit. :-D

Indeed, RIP.

When you can feel all of the pain that the singer feels, you know they did a damn good job writing the song

"Bring Me Home"
I close my eyes and count to ten
The seconds turn to years and slowly
I've been recognizing everything
Through an adolescent mind
It's so dark here
For the first time I feel alive
But you're not here
Life, it changes
Wake me up and bring me home
Let me stay here forever
I can't see a thing
I'm lying in my bed, I can't stop thinking
It's driving me insane
Never got to say goodbye
It's still dark here
And for the first time I feel alive
But you're not here
I'll live on and carry your name
And be what you always thought I could be
I hope we meet at the end
But I'll never forgive the world for taking my best friend
I can't see a thing
I can't feel a thing

What a lad.
phils cleans are surprisingly good. wouldn't mind hearing them more often.
Mike Hunt definitely. i would love to see him impliment them into their heavier songs too.
Shame they're auto tuned though, nice song though
Charlie Newbury well I have listened to the song live, his cleans are great live
Mike Hunt he should combine them like this more often like randy blythe and corey taylor
I agree fully. at least his cleans are a million times better than suicide silences new garbage..
The feels are strong with this one, great work on the video guys.
bakerXderek damn bakerxdickheads coming out to watch whitechapel. but ya like that guy said put more metal in the videos
bakerXderek CHEAH
bakerXderek
Agreed
CHEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
CHEAH!! Fuckin love the videos bakerxdickhead. But agreed, unreal song and video.
This song is one of the most balanced in modern metal history. Phil's cleans mixed with his growls, that opening bass line, the tasteful guitar solo...man do I love this jam!
Yeah they're pretty much right up there with Sabbath, AIC, whatever. And I don't care how many trolls leave a 1,000 comments disagreeing with me below
The guitar solo is Ben Eller btw doing a guest solo for the song cuz not to hate on the skills of the...3 guitarists in this band...I believe...at the time this album was released anyway...but yeah, none of them could pull off a solo that sick.
Also, that’s a guitar in the intro, not a bass, you can hear the difference when the bass does finally come in as soon as the vocals start. And yes, they tune that low. Not quite 8 strings but as close as you can get cuz I think they tune to G Standard.
@@ZolFox just regular drop G with a 7. They use 14-68, one of them told me on insta lol
@@chadm9944 oh you’re right. Cool thanks. Oh knew the open low note was a G cuz I could hear it but I wasn’t sure about the rest. Although if I just sat down and figured out the harmonics, those would’ve told me right away whether or not it was Standard or Dropped.
Bring Me Home & Hickory Creek.
Everything comes full Circle.
What was hickory creek about ?
I'm new to whitechapel

@@winstonharalson6774 oh, be prepared for a punch in the gut.
@@beatdroppinjay why?
@@winstonharalson6774 did you watch the video for Hickory Creek?
Gotta love the fact that bands get discredit and hate for changing styles. Just because they aren't still doing the exact same style as before doesn't mean that they're bad or going downhill.
Abeth
100% agree with u
Abeth so true if anything they're becoming better. most of their stuff always seemed generic except some till this album which is a masterpiece in my opinion
Angel Westbrook Deathcore is such a cookie-cutter, recycled genre. If you take away the vocalists, you cannot tell the difference from one band to another. So it really boggles my mind that a Deathcore band gets hate for doing something unique.
Abeth
True true
Abeth bro, I raise my hat in respect for you!
wait. if Phil's dad died when he was 10 in 1995 and his mom died in 2000... that means Phil lost both his parents by the time he was 15 or so. Dude. :/
Shreddedwheat tis a shame. Phil is a cool dude. sad day boiz
Phil uchiha
Yea this man has had to endure alot of suffering at a young age
Mike Larson it's really amazing how he turned out. Despite having it so rough, meeting him, he was one of the most grounded people I've ever met. No chip on his shoulder and genuinely seemed happy to meet people and talk
Both my parents died when I was 12 from substance abuse. This song hits way too close to home
This song clutches onto my soul. I'm a combat vet, Iraq and Afghanistan, former Infantryman. This song means so fucking much to me.
thank you for your service dude 🫡
Seeing an extreme metal vocalist singing in a melodic way is not something you see every day, we have to appreciate this work of art.
I know how you feel, I lost my dad from Cancer when I was 16. Sorry for your loss Phil Bozeman.
Julian Bußmann Thank You Bro
Wayne Martin damn that's awful I'm sorry bro
Im Sorry about your Dad brother...they say everyone you lose in life are waiting for you when you cross over. Hold onto that..that's what I do.
I lost my dad when i was 16 too. He had diabetes.
Fucking cancer, Lost my father too at the age of 14 ...
It has a little bit of a Tool - "Disposition" feel to it in the slow parts.
That was the comparison we drew in the office - Whitechapel cleans had a "Tool" vibe. Not a bad thing, at all.
Metal Blade Records HUGE fan of the Tool angle. Nothing wrong with dark eerie singing. Well played!!!
This reminds me of Tool also.
I was gonna say that Phil's voice in the slow parts reminded me of Maynard from A Perfect Circle.
MrDanky1227 the vocal layering in the chorus reminds me of Demon Hunter
Today marks 4 years since my Dad passed away, this song helped me get through the loss and grief. Thank you Whitechapel.
Phil, not sure if you read these comments. But this song helped me through my brother's passing. I played this song at his memorial and I fell to my knees. Your lyrics "I'll never forgive the world for taking my best friend" really hit home for me. My brother and I were complete opposites. He was a hunter family man and I'm the black sheep metalhead that went to college and graduated. I'll never understand your loss and I hope one day you find solace in this miserable life. Just know you helped another person through their loved one passing away. So thank you, Phil.
It doesnt matter if its heavy or not, JUST FEEL THE EMOTIONS OKAY?
Serhat Devrim I'm a psychopath so I have no emotions
crazypanda animations Yes Pandabear
I hate seeing the cunts who complain that this song isn't heavy and the band isn't heavy anymore, this song is meant to be personal and music is art. People don't have to do the same thing over and over again. They can present their art in whatever way they damn well please and I love seeing bands step into reality or stepping out of their comfort zones. Let them make their art, if you have a problem with their art, fine, we don't want to hear about it.
Manuel Thelios for real , Fuck Haters . Rocks whitechapel .
I didn't expected this, but this song is amazing.
I didn't expect* #grammarnazi
jeffhaf1 That is because he was correcting a word in the middle of a sentence, not at the end of the sentence. The last words of the sentence he was correcting were "but this song is amazing". He was correcting "expected" [sic]. Pay attention and make sure you know what you are talking about before calling others a "douche".
Thanks EviLLivE Gaming! We must sometimes correct people to make them know that they made a mistake so they won't commit it again in future. It's all in good intention :D
I'm Bored asf Same!
Nekros97 Thanks man, lmfao
I’ve lost my family over the last 8 years, I feel this song in my soul. I miss them all, and can’t wait to be with them again. RIP.
"I'll never forgive the world for taking my best friend"
That sent chills down my spine
This is how you tell a good deathcore band from a bad one. Can they write a beautiful and melodic song that builds and flows amazingly? Well Whitechapel ticks that box definitely.
Exactly!
Whitechapel definitely took an interesting turn. I feel like this song would have been better off without the harsh vocals and just Phil's cleans.
Not deathcore anymore. Been post metal for awhile now

I lost my dad when I was 4, I'm now 24 and this song captures everything i have dealt with trying to deal with this shit. My hat is off to Phil on this i know the pain he felt. Brings me to tears everytime I watch this video
I am crying... I've lost my very best friend almost 4 years ago and then I lost myself. I am at my f*cking end. Thank you so much Whitechapel for all this great music... This is the last thing that keeps me alive..
This is how you incorporate clean singing into deathcore. Not TEHEE
I like suicide silences new direction. Personally. But I've never ever heard Phil sing clean. So this is very shocking. But so good.
... less deathcore and more true death metal... but otherwise tru XD
jyster18
Wow, someone else who likes their new direction
Sunforged Is there a problem with my opinion?
jyster18
I'm saying that because I've never heard of anyone liking the new direction besides myself.
Let me preface my amazement with this distant thought: at first I didn't like the album, but let me tell you, this song hits so close. This song was beautifully written and though I have my own reservations about Whitechapel's most recent work overall, considering who I knew them for back in their heyday and who they are now by comparison, I'm keeping that opinion locked away because it doesn't deserve to be here. The passion and emotion in this song is undeniable and it makes me want to take back the BS I've said about this band's directions, because it has changed my perception of metal especially a band as extreme as Whitechapel has proven to be. I just wanted to say all this because a lot of you are hating in the comments, but this is not your band. This is not your group, you are just a fan. I was just a fan. My opinions don't matter, because the thoughts in this song transcend it. So just keep your mouths shut, and if you don't enjoy that a band wanted to take a step back from the brutality for a second to mourn the deep trauma hidden behind the past of Phil Bozeman losing his father at the age of 10, then you can go fuck yourself behind a shed in the middle of the rain you sick fuck.
Thank you Whitechapel, for honestly changing my mind about who you were, and who you're becoming. I'll give your record a serious, honest listen and come up with my own realistic ideas about your music rather than shutting you out for being expressive. That's what an open-minded fan would do. That's what I urge you all to do.
EDIT: Their newest record, which features more of these melodic subtleties, has become an album in constant rotation with some of the most extreme and obscure records I listen to this year. Whitechapel is here to stay and they are here to SLAY! I've seen them live 3 times since writing this comment. While Mark of the Blade is not my favourite record of theirs, I really have been able to stop looking at "modern Whitechapel" negatively. This is a band with so many styles, influences, and ideas blending together and it always seems to wind up working out at the end of the day. Really excited for whatever they do next (although I do hope they bring some blast beats back hehe).
Lucas Jenkins you're alright dude
I agree with you brother!
Man this felt so good to write out, and I sure hope people agree! Seems they are already. Thanks everyone.
Well said!
DUDE! So well said!
Whoever said that metal is not emotional, this song alone proves you wrong on many levels
The fact that this video/song still makes me cry 4 years later is just a testament to Phil and the power he puts behind his voice, clean or not. I am SO GLAD they decided to keep the cleans going. FUCK THE HATERS.
and this is how you do cleans, eddie.
TheUtgardian Channel HONESTLY.
TheUtgardian Channel teehee!!
TheUtgardian Channel LUL the new SS
TheUtgardian Channel there it is! I was looking for this comment specifically XD
nailed it
This song gives me the fucking chills, I was worried when they announced clean vocals on this album but damn this song blew me away!
" I will never forgive the world for taking my best friend " GOD so deep
1.25 Goosebumps man. Never been a Whitechapel fan but this song is just too good.
same. coming from a more progressive side, this really caught me offguard hearing it randomly on spotify - as i used to think this band was pretty much one of the defining bands of deathcore.
@@PaN1xX well they used to be that. But I'm digging the change in style, its pretty sick.
Whitechapel has cleans, so what, this track is awesome.
Yeah, deathcore kids will be still bitching on everything.
Great song. Don't get me wrong but I feel Whitechapel should continue with more Clean Vocals. Phil's voice is amazing.
This. Please. Pretty Please?
You're about to get your wish March 29th!
HOW COULD THE WORLD TAKE YOU FROM MEEEEE
@@diemonos2818 the video for that song is fucking wicked
Relentless Chaos he is a perfect example of an awesome and true vocalist
"I hope we meet at the end, but I'll never forgive the world for taking my best friend."
That hurt a lot because I can honestly relate to how this great man feels. I'd love to see this and Hickory Creek live.
My dad passed away the night before last and this song made me feel a lot better and gave me hope that if Phil could make it through this than I can to
I felt this. sorry for your loss Phil.
I'm 37, never heard any of this bands music before... but just watched this and instantly... it connected me to the suppressed anger and sadness from losing my dad, at an early age. I haven't had a song or video, align the feeling of being directionless and loss of life compass, like this. If I could tell the singer anything, it would be "I get you, I've walked that path too. This hit me harder than you could ever know. Thank you for articulating what I've tried to understand and explain for many years."
"I'll never forgive the world for taking my best friend" man that did it for me right there you can see and hear the pure raw emotion Phil was feeling there. We're all here Phil your fans are all with you always
My dad passed in November, 5 days after he turned 53. This song and a lot from the Kin album helped me, at that time. It still hurts but I have music for the hurt.
Wow this song just pushed Whitechapel over that edge of being just another Deathcore metal band and transcending into being true artists. Any band that takes the risk to do something different without any regard to what the masses may think deserves respect.. Especially when they pull it off with flying colors. One of their best tracks ive heard them do in a while. This whole album seems so much better than the two previous efforts. Even though i still enjoyed them they felt alot more like they were just settling into a comfort zone and starting to sound all the same. This albums changed all that. Especially this song and its a very powerful song at that. Reaffirms my feeling of these guys being one of my favorites bands. And meeting them was very interesting as well seeing as how all those guys are very down to earth most especially Phil. Super nice guy and very humble and willing to take the time to meet a fan and talk to them for a few minutes after a show.
Demonlord468 my thoughts exactly
This is officially the best comment here, I love this song so much. You know a song is great when the lyrics resonate with you in a completely different way that they're meant to (for me thats the depression following my last breakup because she wasn't only my girlfriend but also my best friend untill we started fighting alot)
Summed up PERFECTLY
This is an amazing song. I love the clean vocals in it, but I hate all this douchebags in this comment section hating this song for having clean vocals. People whine too much there is nothing wrong for a band to change their style from time to time... just some people take it too personally. Keep it up Phil and the rest of Whitechapel! if their is any more songs with clean vocals I will surely be looking foward to them!
Scout Rose Deuce I think the cleans fit really well with this song. I can deal with people who can say that they don't care for the cleans and just leave it there, but the ones who consistently bash the band for it need to just shut up and deal with it
Scout Rose Deuce some times cleans r needed for a sobg that has a deep meaning or connection with the singer in the band he wanted it to be an emotional song and one song here and there that has clean vocals in it is not a bad thing as long as they don't do it all the time but from time to time it is needed
Scout Rose Deuce GOD DAMN THE ELITIST ONES
"I'll never forget the world for taking my best friend". That part always hits me like an anvil.
“I’ll never forgive the world for taking my best friend.” I lost a very close friend almost 5 years ago, and life hasn’t been the same without her. That line in the song is so true it hurts
This song has so much emotion in it.. Much respect for Phil Bozeman.
Whitechapel IS Deathcore , I'm glad to have seen their entire Evolution so far
I just lost my dad, and this just made me break down...
May he rest in peace!
same,
I’m so sorry. My fiancé recently lost their father to a stroke...on Father’s Day. That was a real kick in the teeth. I just lost my best friend in the world on Monday to liver failure so I can empathize.
This style of vocals with the mellow menacing atmosphere are really powerful.
What a rough life he had. Now I can see why some of Whitechapel's songs namely Digg's Road, Devolver, Breeding Violence, The Darkest Day of Man, Reprogrammed to Hate, Unnerving, Murder Sermon, Bring Me Home, and Animus are what they are. Those ones are the most powerful and most personal ones. Push on, Phil Bozeman.
This song made me cry...
His deep voice vocals just reminds me of some sort of sentient creature howling in pain :,(
My dad died 7 years ago, and the scene of him throwing the photos is something I actually did (but with a gift I’d made him) a few days after I found out my dad passed. That along with the lyrics, and seeing similarities in the bond Phil and his dad had to the bond I had with my dad, broke me again, but also gave me a sense of peace. Knowing I’m not the only one who thinks that way after the loss of a parent. This is a beautiful tribute to him!
Lost my dad when i was 18 back in 2017 for months i was just out of it.. still am at times but phil and his choice of words gets me but helps so much due to not having anyone to vent to about the pain that i can never put into words. Its a beautiful song with such a painful story.
i never thought i say a Whitechapel made me tear.up but this was a work of art phil
fr lo
This video makes me like Bring Me Home even more, I haven't lost my Dad so I don't relate but it really does make me think about if it happened while I was really young
I've been a fan of Whitechapel since This Is Exile and this song is hands down one of the most powerful emotionally
Not gonna lie - I legit teared up at "I'll never forgive the world for taking my best friend."
My dad also died when I was 10. I’m 28 now. Much love and respect Phil and all of Whitechapel.
Slower vibes and clean vocals take this band to a whole new level. Awesome.
The clean vocals in this isn't the pop kinda shit. it's fucking insane how good it is
Damn man, every single time I watch this vídeo I can't help but cry, thank that my dad still alive and I can hug him and say how much I love him.
Absolutely masterpiece from you guys, just goes to show how great you are.
WhiteChapel is a good example of how to use clean vocals in death metal/deathcore
I know exactly how you feel, Phil. I had to go through all of that same shit when my father died of liver cancer when I was 10. I felt just so lost without him.
Drew :〉 sorry for your loss man
Luther Darling Thank you
Drew :〉 Sorry for your loss. Far too soon to lose someone, let alone a father.
As a Whitechapel song, I don't really like it all that much, but as a song alone, I think it's excellent.
With that said, the video got my feels running wild. RIP papa Bozeman.
Lost my dad Dec. 29th 2019. This songs helped me so goddamn much. 3:20 gets me everytime
Sorry bout ur father thats a hard thing to get passed hope u did it tho it took me 10 yrs to get out the darkeness
What a beautiful voice. This shows how much talent actually goes into growling like that. And that solo was pure epicness too.
I'm so sorry, I feel your pain, Phil Bozeman. I had my dog die, my Uncle die, and my best friend die all in the same month last year in November. Carrying on is the hardest thing to do after a time like that... I see why this song meant so much to you...And I just want to say...Stay with it Phil! FOR THE BLADE!
Joe Bob sorry for your losses
Joe Bob sorry for your losses man, time will heal you
I really hope there are no negative opinions towards this song. Especially since it's supposed to mean so much to phil.
I think Phil should do what Corey did, form a side band for his softer stuff with more clean vocals cause damn he can sing

This song is so moving. My dad passed away when I was 18 years old. He was a pastor and died from cancer. I was devastated, I began to hate everyone, I cursed God and everything that was "christian" I then tried to shoot myself with a shotgun. My brother and I were fighting at the time and he intervened. No one pulled the trigger but the gun went off and it scared us both. I know God protected us, I have given my life to Christ and haven't looked back. I know I am going to be with my heavenly father forever.
Let me just say,Phil's cleans are incredible
Phil - it took massive courage to confront this.
You will see them both again, they love you more than ever, and they are proud of you.
One hell of an emotional rollercoaster that hits hard is listening to this then listening to "convictions - price of grace" back to back.
Pain is one thing but mourning a whole different thing no matter how long its been theres some days where it just feels the same as the day it happened.
“For taking my best friend” when I heard him say that I started crying and I could really relate to this cause I’ve been in dark places. So this song helps me through the tuff times. 😭😭
I'm glad they made this.
Never knew Phil's cleans were so amazing.
Hey, Phil. You probably won't see this but I never had a good father. I never got to experience the beauty of a real father and the pains of losing him, instead I was cast aside by him as he sat down playing video games, living with his uneducated mother after leaving my mother because of a petty fight they had while ignoring me the whole time. He was abusive, and I guess the only thing fun we did was go a a Japanese festival. I won't tell you why I cannot see him, but I'll tell you this: for a long time, I was unable to bond and accept my family. It didn't feel right to not have a father, but it felt good to be away from him, because I never truly had one. Whatever that man was, a father or a disturbed man, you're lucky to have had a father that cared and loved you as some people like me don't. I'm sorry for your loss, and don't mind the cunts complaining about your cleans. They're beautiful. All in all, Phil, just be glad you had a good man as a good father, as some people don't have that. You deserved him. ☺
My father was the same way with me your not the only one bro my dad would always hit me and i was scared of him i still remember what he did too me
@@ajbryant8072 fuck, that's tough. Sorry man
@@xtexaschainsawx It is tough
The last time I seen my father, he put a loaded gun to my head. I was like 11. He nearly beat my mother to death, and she had to go to the hospital multiple times. He abused us all, but my mom got the worst of the physical beatings, but she wasn’t there most of the time since she was a druggy and an alcoholic. My sisters are all fucked up mentally, but we made it through. Im 23 now, went to the Army and I’m in college for political science and later law school. Keep your head up high, and keep pushing forward.
@@gwynbleiddroach2589 damn man, you serious? That's one helluva dark past
This is why I love Whitechapel, I can relate to this on so many levels.
My day was murdered 5 years ago and honestly the pain barely subsides but songs like this help to remind me that I'm not the only one going through shit like this.
I have to say it, even 3 years after this song was released, the solo in the end still breaks me into tears sometimes. This song is built so well, and delivers the emotions through every single element in it
This took me by surprise. It's a masterpiece. Sorry for your loss Phil.
I sit here 6 years after my fathers death and this song mirrors my feeling so perfectly that i cant stop to cry. No matter what kind of music style you prefer - this song is a perfect proof that you can put all your heart and feelings into a song and create a bond with people who experienced the same or similar things in life. I miss you dad, i hope we meet again some day
This song got me through a lot after my mom died 5 years ago, and still does to this day. Thank you, Phil and Whitechapel.
Pretext: Don't call me an elitist, I'll explain myself throughly. Just give me a second to do so is all I'm asking.
First and foremost, Phil: you've been a vocal and lyrical inspiration to me for years. Back when I was 13, I went to a record store and bought This Is Exile without ever hearing of you guys, just because I thought the art was wicked and figured "eh, what the hell, right?" I grew up in a strict Christian household, but I've always been into hard rock, metal, really anything with a thrashy guitar part and some angry lyrics.
But WOW, did that album shock me. I listened to that thing in entirety for almost 2 years straight, until I saw on iTunes that you guys were releasing a new album (my favorite of all your guys' work to date, I still get hyped as fuck to Devolver and Murder Sermon), "A New Era Of Corruption." Whoa. Kickass name, kickass album art, and the most kickass of bands. I had to have it.
Then came you dropping your single "Section 8," which was RIDICULOUSLY brutal. The drum fills in that song are some of my favorite that you guys have ever put out. Self titled had its own moment in the spotlight, but it never had me like This Is Exile and ANEOC did.
Mark of the Blade, in all due respect, I mean no harm guys. You know how to lay down a brutal fucking track, so I'm not picking on ya lol. It just sounded a little repetitive/mainstream, which isn't a bad thing all the time. I just miss the old age is what I'm getting at. PLEASE MAKE A SONG OR TWO FOR FANS LIKE ME, but I'll have love & support for this band no matter what direction you guys go, seeing that you're one of the main bands to get me into deathcore.
Stay wicked, guys. \m/
P.S: Phil, if you ever read this, I'm sorry for your loss, man. My dad's been in and out of my life, so I never really had much of a worthwhile bond with him after I was maybe 10 or 11. While I can't say out situations are identical, I can say that we as the metal community are here to support you, brother. We all have our vices, but sometimes things are too heavy to conquer alone. Don't forget that. Much love, guy.
He and nor the members of Whitechapel owe you or anyone anything. What they decide to make lyrically and musically is all up to them, if they make throwback tracks great. But you shouldn't ever feel obligated to be given nor even ask for anything from them. They started out writing whatever they wanted, and making whatever they wanted. I doubt they'll change just because a handful of fans feel like they deserve it.
Amity I'm not saying us fans "deserve" anything. That wasn't the point of the post: what I was saying is that I support the changes they're making, and that I simply miss their old style.
i love this comment.
Amity You missed the point of the comment
It's not an obligation to the old fans forcing them to keep the same sound. It's a request to just acknowledge the people that were there from the beginning every once in a while
Brought tears to my eyes so quick with the line before the solo leading into it.
I feel this song so deep in the feels.. I've lost so many people to substance abuse, cancer, I even lost myself for a good amount of time. Music and family, plus the resources to help me get clean are the only reason I'm still alive. I thank you all for saving me.
My dad died when I was 16 from cancer, this hit too deep
Still can’t put into words how much I love this song.
Today for my composition and rhetoric class our assignment was to do a paper on a niche band, not to insult what whitechapel is but I don’t think a lot of college age kids know about their music. I have been listening to them for years. I had a similar incident as a child which shook my whole family, I lost my father unexpectedly at the age of 6. It wasn’t until having to do this assignment that I really payed attention to the pain, the visuals, and the tone of this song, that I broke down crying in class. I’ve probably played this song a thousand times, never batting an eye, but today, something definitely hit a heart string. Thank you for the great music whitechapel, and most importantly Phil. My heart mourns for you, your father, and your mother.
My worst nightmares when I wake up and can't explain just how it makes me feel. I feel like whitechapel understands.
"I'll live on and carry your name
And be what you always thought I could be
I hope we meet at the end
But I'll never forgive the world for taking my best friend"
fuck, this song just does it for me
This song is beyond amazing. The cleans literally sound like Corey Taylor's cleans (which is fuckin amazing to me) and the meaning is great. They can't just keep remaking this Is Exile or the Somatic Defilement over and over again and I would not want them to. As life and experiences change, so too will music and art change. Change does not mean it's bad. It means it's different. And in this case, Whitechapel has done a great job in their evolution. They still kick ass and will continue to kick ass until Whitechapel is done which I hope is nowhere close to now.
I fell in love with this song. Not only is it a great song, but it touches a lot of people. I lost my mom when I was 9 and now at the age of 29 I've lost my dad less than a year ago. This song hit me hard and connected directly to what I went through. Even at an older age. I didn't get to spend as much time with my mom, but my dad was my best friend and it devastated me and felt like it shattered my soul. Thank you so much for sharing your heart ache through a song that so many of us can connect with.
Lost my mum to cancer can feel the pain of loss in this song. Beautiful 😢
phil should sing more he has an awesome voice.
