#WHITECHAPEL #KIN #FULLALBUMREACTION
Crazy to think that this is the same band who released This is Exile 12 years ago. What an amazing career these boys have had. I absolutely look forward to everything else they put out
I played this in the car with my wife and didn’t say anything about it just played it, she doesn’t even care for rock or metal and she said “what is this? I love this? It’s so good” 🤘
That's right
So awesome
Whitechapel wasn’t afraid to change and made the change right.
GREAT ALBUM 🔥🔥
Anticure and Kin blew me away. Phil Bozeman is simply the best vocalist.
yes yes andd hell yes
Man the song Kin was incredible
Spencer Sotelo takes that spot, but he is one of the best
@@jaydenjbryant8665 imo Phil sounds way better. Spencer is a talented vocalist but he often sounds very grating on the ears.
I find Spencer extremely annoying to listen to personally, but there's no doubt he's a very skilled vocalist
Kin is truly an amazing album, from start to finish. I loved the Valley, but this album blows it out of the water, a true maturation of sound by an incredible band.
The last song, the title track, honestly surprised me... It's been a while since a song slammed into my feels like that. Maybe because loss is something I'm familiar with... It almost started raining for me, so to speak
Yeah I almost cried listening to that lol
Best song of the album. Maybe of the year.
Huge lump in my throat all the way through the track Kin! What an album dude
I didn’t think they could top The Valley, but this album definitely did it! I always liked Whitechapel but now I fucking love them.
@@noelvaldez96 Same
Literally listened to this on the 12am release on Spotify and it literally is the best album of 2021 without a shadow of a doubt
Or without a shadow of intent? 😉
I'm sorry bud but not even close.....Phil and the crew definitely brought it....your talking to a Whitechapel Stan and u can't change my mind lol 🤣
@@TenaciousJoe24 Shadow of Intent is a 2022 album.
I was trying to make a joke but I guess no one got it
@@TenaciousJoe24 i dont think i have ever seen a joke go over peoples heads quite so bad 😂
Katatonia vibes, doom feelings, melancholic lyrics, unique Whitechapel instrumentals and Phil's signature screams - definitely aoty contender
@9rmetal exactly
Yes absolutely I love Katatonia. Their dark melodies and overall sense of doom lingers over some of these more melodic songs.
Was just listening to Tonight's Decision last night. Love me some Katatonia.
@@markthedark595 gold, btw this album is the same age as i am
I also get some minor Opeth vibes in the more progressive parts, and it's great.
A certain reviewer called it buttrock deathcore and I completely disagree. There's nothing generic about this album. It's beautiful, and it's not like they've completely forgotten how they started back in 2008. There are still deathcore elements, but this time with a melodic touch to it, and I'm all for it. We saw it start in The Valley, and here, it's in full force.
These reviewers are out of touch with music...
Yeah have seen the review and I disagree on the term "buttrock deathcore" too. Have reviewed it too and it was a fair 8/10 for me. Love to see that Whitechapel are barely departing their deathcore roots
Some people don't like them changing at all and just shut their ears off. Confirmation bias is too strong for them.
It's sad for them only because they are missing out. Whitechapel has become one of the most interesting bands in metal. They're still heavy has as fuck in places but have blended such dark, beautiful melodies into their music without missing a step.
"buttrock deathcore" is more like Mark of the Blade, or that first Suicide SIlence record after Mitch's death.
I love how not overproduced and overprocessed this album is compared to most of new metal bands, makes me feel so much more
I'm going to go out on a limb here... I've been listening to metal for my entire life, and I have NEVER heard an album as good as this. Nothing has even come close in the last decade. Its such a dark album but it gives you a feeling of serenity, the music composure is top notch, and vocals were amazing. AOTY for me, easily. AOTD if you will.
Massive Katatonia vibes. Was vibing to this all day at work, and every time the title track came on I'd completely forget how long I just sat blank in a corner.
Kin is f**king phenomenal.
I feel Kin is the counterpart of The Valley, we take on a journey through Phil's life (The Valley); the other we take on a journey through the depths of his mind (by my interpretation [Kin]).
English is not my native language so i wanted to what does Kin means and… it hits very HARD after experiencing the album. I felt every scream, every clean of every track that hits home.
This is a hot take but The Valley and Kin are peak Whitechapel both musically and lyrically.
kinda yeah, Phil said that Kin is the continuation of TV with him moving out of that place and trying to move on and on Bloodsoaked Symphony specifically its him vs his inner demon who tries to revive his parents to keep him in the valley, in the dark place but fails and the "real" phil has come to terms with what happens and moves away
Your PC wallpaper fits the album cover 🤣
hell of an album here. definitely one of the best releases of the year thus far.
I think I've said before but you should definitely check out Radical by Every Time I Die in full. 16 tracks of perfection. cheers bro :)
I second this. Might want to listen before choosing AOTY…
Yes!! Radical is my AOTY
This is way better than Radical but Radical is still great
@@MrTheBigNoze lmfao facts.
Yuuuup!
Honestly this album has made more more impact than The Valley.
I think The Valley was the set up and this was the finished product.
@@Dippedinblackink Agreed.
@@Dippedinblackink 100%
Lanjutannya 🔥
Loved the raw emotion that you showed on this review. That’s what is so beautiful about metal, it’s ability to shake us to our core. I’ve been a HUGE Whitechapel fan since the Corruption album, and personally haven’t loved the more melodic direction they’ve taken until now. I listened to Kin a few times yesterday but this review however makes me want to revisit it from a different angle. I’m now really excited for it. Thanks man!
Thank you! :)
This is how you change your sound without losing your identity. Whitechapel nailed it.
Not sure yet if this is my AOTY. A lot of awesome stuff got released this year, but I like that Whitechapel are continuing to stay unique. Especially the use of cleans are on this album strongly present and are playing a rule in the soundscape. Production is top notch.
I still need to listen to this but I wanted to get a sneak peek. You're right. I listened to the new mastodon and archspire first cuz I've known them for longer and those albums are contenders for AOTY as well. 2021 has just been a crazy year for music.
@@albreezy26 Archspire rips! Mastodon hasn't really impressed me yet. Maybe I need more runs. 2021 has been an insane year for music and it continues in November too with high quality stuff
While driving, taking shower, reading, all day long the whole album on repeat! Awesomeness!
I missed out on this album in 2021. Now, it’s gonna be my most listened to album of 2022.
I love how Phil went from garbage-disposal gutturals on the first album to beautiful singing with harmonies and everything. Amazing
And he did it WITHOUT giving up the garbage-disposal gutturals. That’s how you develop as an artist.
Possibly my favorite album, the depth of the lyrical content and vocal performance alone hit me straight through the heart
This is the first album in a while were I didn’t focus so much on the music, but the lyrics. Phil’s lyrics hit hard with Kin.
I never thought I'd say they made a better album than "The Valley" but god damn they made a better album than "The Valley", Kin is easily AOTY and so far best Album of the 2020's, Congrats to Phil and the boys of Whitechapel, this is a masterpiece ❤️
No lie, first listen through this album I already loved it, but it was like the valley, the more and more i listened to it, the more it became one of my favorite albums I've literally ever heard. Whitechapel over the years of listening to them, they've never failed to impress me, especially now with the cleans and softer music... Phil's cleans are absolutely beautiful, but even the rest of the band is talented as fuck too! For a band that was known for heavy deathcore, almost death metal styled shit, nobody would have ever guessed they would make a beautiful album like this and The Valley... But they did it, and that's why they are one of my favorite bands right now! I sat here when this album was announced asking myself "how can they top The Valley? How could they make something better than that masterpiece" then Kin dropped and they did it, they fucking topped it! This is their best album to date, and now whenever they announce their next album, once again I'll ask myself "Will they top Kin" and I sure hope they do. I'm so excited to see what direction they'll go next album, I really am!
Doesn't hurt to admit, I shed a lot of tears listening to this album for the first time. Amazing work by them, really captured emotions on a completely different scale compared to most dm bands.
7:35 that moment killed me xD
this album really reminded me of the Opeth albums from the early 2000s.
Why does the album cover blend in so well with your wallpaper on your computer! Haha!
The title track Kin absolutely floored me
This is such an emotional, impactful album. People have been complaining about the cleans because it's not 'deathcore enough' but I can't imagine not loving this beautiful singing that he can do.
Honestly kin might be my favorite song off the album. I got some serious chills listening to it.
Shit had me in tears 😭 the emotions in the lyrics and music 😭😭
Whitechapel shows how to make deathcore with creativity like Death ,band in beggining pure deathmetal in the end prog/death ,and Whitechapel saw this and bring it again.
Amazing
Masterpiece, so good that it makes The Valley even better. I view them as part 1 and 2, you need them both to get the full story.
They are in my opinion Whitechapel's two best albums
It’s honestly laughable critics are saying this album is bland like it literally made me laugh when I read that
Most of the music these 'critics' listen to is stuck in 1996
@@bogdanhxc agreed lol there were very few reviews that gave this album higher than an 8/10 I was like are we listening to different albums or something? lol
@@jaydenjbryant8665 For me it's actually a 8/10 and I don't listen to 90 or 80s thrash metal lol
Your energy is unmatched, brother. I had the same reaction throughout the album. It’s truly a masterpiece. I think it’s their best work to date!
Definitely my favorite non-ERRA album this year so far.
The effect on your wallpaper connects with the left head of the cover of the album. After that: THIS IS MY AOTY! I LOVE WHITECHAPEL SO MUCH!
Late to the party here but wanted to bring up why the sudden change in the title track hits so hard, that melody the guitar start playing appears in multiple of the other songs, but it's never the focus. It's always in the background or it goes by so fast in a solo you never register it, until then. The vocals and instruments step aside and that one melody takes full center stage and provides the foundation of what is - imo - one of the best solos of all time (in terms of power through context), and then a variation on the melody fading out to a piano playing a few soft notes ends the album and it feels complete.
Tears were streaming down my face when i heard Anticure for the first time.
You are not the only one. Same here, each fucking time.
Bloodsoaked Symphony & Kin.. the context of the lyrics, its perfection yet heartbreaking.
This album blew my fucking mind.
Just a masterpiece of a album I got emotional through my 2 times listening through the album can’t believe how amazing it is
It’s an incredible album, the balance of tracks is phenomenal! I know these been around for a long time but this album feels so mature, everything they have in their locker from; vocals (Phil’s lows and cleans) the drumming - sensational as always but the way he gets in the pockets in this album is unreal, the guitar work is scintillating, the rhythm work is madness and a couple of the solos (the one in Kin especially) are phenomenal
Incredible stuff
HEAVILY influenced by Tool since the last album. You can hear it and even see it all around. This cover is highly similar to Tool's last album, the guitars, drums, this Maynard esque vocals. I like it :)
Dude, I love it and all about it. Best album they have put put so far.
Honestly though this is way better than Fear Inoculum
@@ryanbollinger1759 The two bands are not comparable at all. Two completely different styles
I was thinking the exact same thing
I can’t believe that I’ve taken so long to hear this album! And Whitechapel!
Lately I’ve been starting to get bored of hearing the same songs over and over again and was in search for new music. Nothing made me as excited as I used to feel about music like I have back in the past. Until I heard this album.
This album has literally saved my live for music
Thank you for sharing🙏🏼🖤🎸
Honestly idk how this one slipped through the cracks and I missed when it was released. Just discovered it about 2 months ago and it's been on repeat. It has so many parallels to my life experience, being adopted, that there's only one or two songs on here that won't bring me to tears. I hope they continue this direction and the next album blows me away just as much
It's just so fucking good. The pain the chills the emotions, I'm in fucking tears
My girl of 8 years left me last November. Literally when this album came out. And I’m the biggest whitechapel fan and I blasted this in my car for months. Crying like a bitch, lol. Best album ever.
Kin is such a masterpiece! Saw them in July, they were absolutely ridiculous! Phil is basically Maynard James Keenan that can scream/growl like none other!
Yes, I got a Maynard vibe from his cleans and the screaming and growling was incredible. I really want to see a headlining concert because their set supporting Between the Buried and Me and Trivium was way too short. They have massive range and ability.
Thanks to whitechapel for this huge record!
This album is massive and deep and intense and so beautiful. You‘re always between sit down and listen to Phil‘s vocals - and jump up to destroy everything around you!
Yes - there are a lot clean vox - and this is perfect. on point! This Record takes you on a journey and will catch until the last second. I can‘t remember fighting with tears while listening to music. But at least - the Titeltrack „KIN“ blow me away. I turn my Headphones off after passing this Track and needed a moment to breathe deep.
Thank you Whitechapel. This is Music on another Level ♥️
I know this is late, but, imo, this was probably the best album of 2021. Phenomenal album!
Kin, without us, history is silent, the ones that made us, to the wolves are my fav so far. Kin was a beautiful closer
Such an amazing album dude.
Shit had me in tears from the sheer passion and emotion.
THANK YOUUUU. Dude after i heard the first song i was like this is gonna BANG. And it did. There isn’t a bad song on this album. Definitely best album of the year and the new Signs of the Swarm is insane as well. Don’t know if KL’s EP counts in this, but also immaculate
This album gave me chills, last time it happened was many, many years ago.
Incredible how Phil has evolved as vocalist over the years.
I loved this album and it's been on repeat since last night. Phil and the rest of guys in the band are legends🤘the emotional appeal to this record broke me when I first listened to it. Man Whitechapel has done it again and it was so amazing and just so emotional🤘
ETID and Whitechapel out here annihilating every other release this year, and this year has been MENTAL.
Edit: the fact that PhillyBo can sing this well after all the years of insane vocals proves he’s god-tier
Totally agreed... Will need to give this a few more listens because ERRA and Trivium were also really high up on the list as well but ETID is currently my #1.
the intro to this album is like you’re going on a long adventure
I absolutely loved the Valley, it's one of my favorite metal albums ever, and has a strong personal connection with me. However, I can't believe that they managed to follow it up with something of this quality. I think it's objectively better, and sure it'll take time before I can choose between them, but holy hell, this band is truly something else. They've evolved beyond their labels and are doing something that means so much more. Definitely a Top 10 album for 2021 for me, probably Top 5.
This is not only the DLC to The Valley but also ultimate Dad-Deathcore
Eidola, Gojira, Spiritbox and Whitechapel 🤝 AOTY material
Absolutely love the style they have gone it's so damn different I think they will do all clean on the next much respect you guys
i haven’t heard the album yet, i heard all the singles, but i’m just listening watching this video first to hear what to expect
That title made me very happy :)
On my 3rd listen today and I’m in agreement about AOTY. Erra had been on my personal throne all year and I feel this has knocked it off that seat.
Someone made a connection from Whitechapel to 5FDP. And I can see it. I mean listen to Remember Everything by 5FDP and then Orphan by Whitechapel. There are some similarities. Great album btw. Probably one of the best of 2021 (Omega by Epica deserves to be mentioned here as well so yeah)
I see it, 5FDP just oozes cringe off-stage lol
Whitechapel made one of The best albuns in metal history
In my opinion this is Whitechapel's best produced and mixed album but is a very close second to my favourite from them being This Is Exile! The vocal melodies, ranges and acoustic verses are everything!
Amazing album. sticksman is a wizard. Phil as usual is pure wonderful.
*What is your favourite song of Kin?*
Antricure kin and I will find you
I will found you is just so Opeth 👌
A Bloodsoaked Symphony
All of them
I can't, the whole album is just an experience to be had. The pain the anger the tears and the reconciliation with self at the end. Just a chefs kiss IMO
Can't wait to hear you cover "Orphan"
This record was not at all what I expected and I gotta say it might be their best yet imo. First album in probably a decade where I was straight up weeping by the end.
This album makes me really want to hear a collab between Phil and Corey Taylor in some way.
Yeah this album is one of the best I've heard
This album is phenomenal, and so is this band. I honestly didn't listen to them until The Valley, but like you said - these guys have balls. The End 💎🙌🤘🔥
I'm no expert when it comes to deathcore/death metal but this album was amazing. 4/5
Whitechaple are the pioneers of deathcore and now all these deathcore bands are experimenting with cleans and softer sounds and it’s because of this band right here
I had a similar reaction, well, in my head. On the outside it makes me cry. Which is cool, because that's how I know it is beautiful work.
It really is a musical journey. I feel like I need a shower and a cigarette in the best possible way. They really hit my eardrums in the g spot.
Whitechapel never disappoints!
Just imagine what the next masterpiece is going to be 😳😲😳😲😳😲😳😲
I don't know if this could top valley for me
I mean the valley had maybe some of the heaviest Bangers I've heard by them...but also some really nice soft emotional tracks that you cen vibe easily
I'm not saying anything bad...still an amazing record for their discography....but I miss the Breakdowns on we are one or bouncing riffs on black bear ....
It’s definitely my favorite WC album. They’ve developed into one hell of a band and a group of musicians.
This song will accompany me back home next December, I miss my hometown
Indonesia I'm coming 😁
Listened to the album at 4AM this morning and damn its a masterpiece. The Valley could be considered executed better than Kin I guess but just.. Wow. Kin is still hard as fuck and chuggy but right to your heart with the level of emotion that Phil brings to this album. Every song like Hard Core said, has its own sound and is constructed so well man. I would say that Kin is 100% album of 2021 for me. I listened to Archspire and some other albums and they are HARD but Whitechapel has brought more to the table here
back in the day they changed the sound of deathcore with This is Exile/A New Era of Corruption and i reckon they will once again with this Album.
its such a fucking great album ... only discoverd it a few weeks ago!! but its so GOOD
God damn I love his clean melodies. Sounds so much like Opeth.
this guy awesome ! very very very handsome
Feelschapel
Maaan, for me the best album of the year so far still is "Das Album" from WBTBWB.
Whitechapel went through a change though, more power to em!
Yooo new Impending Doom EP, you should react to it, it’s crazyyyyy
I seen them live this month and actually got this album signed by the band
New Crown the Empire and Famous Last Words are huge recommendations from me 🤟🏻
White Chapel and FFAO and BOS need to tour!!!!
Disagree with the title for me, love white chapel since this is exile mostly but have to give to ICE NINE KILLS for ME!!!! That album is just pure genius and goes way beyond music
This album blows that out of the water
@@jaydenjbryant8665 I think its hard to compare the two, some people find more enjoyment in the ink album because its full of fun riffs and references to their favourite movies, and some people find more enjoyment in the wc album because its so emotional and brutal. Personally I have these two albums tied for AOTY so far, still waiting for the imminence album.
@@mikkelmadsen9776 I feel that!!!! Like for me I listened to white chapel so much as a kid that I don’t listen to them as much now, but I will say so far I do really enjoy the new WC album, and that’s exactly it for me with INK like you said, I enjoy the technical play with the puns for lyrics, I do prefer the breakdowns from the first silver scream more than this one IMO, but love it!!! Yes I’m waiting for imminence( have not heard latest release yet) and for the Silent Planet to!!
@@jaydenjbryant8665 listened to the album so I could come back and comment, for me personally I have to disagree, now the white chapel album is from the heart, emotional with heavy lyrics with some brutal riffs and breakdowns, I just have to stick with INK cuz I love what they are doing, going beyond the music, making it a crime thing. They interact with the fans and have made this music more than just that. But I LOVE THE NEW WHITECHAPEL ALBUM , just not as much as INK
One is like going to a creepy evil trip with all your worst fears, banging your head all around. The other is like sitting on the fields or a mountain by yourself, facing your own thoughts and reflecting while you're ascending on some kind of powerful feeling. Well, at least... that is my metaphor to represent how i feel i guess lol but i think they are both really different works and are not supossed to touch you in the same way. I prefer this one. Melancholic. Brutal. Misterious. But the INK is really fun tho :)
Have you heard Resist the Thought? Killer band out of Australia ... all their albums are incredible
People going to hate cause it's not super heavy and probably their softest album but I think this is my favorite album by them, and I love their older stuff too.
