Something so incredibly entertaining about seeing 2013 Phil being a TH-camr. I couldn't imagine Phil trying to be a 2022 TH-camr. This video's a really cool trip down memory lane. I was in 10th grade, and I was *finally* exploring Whitechapel. I first heard y'all with This Is Exile on Headbanger's Ball. It was the only deathcore song I knew for maybe 4-5 years. Once I got into you guys, I started with This Is Exile and The Somatic Defilement, and the rest is history. Well, after I googled a bunch of words I didn't know! I don't know if you'll check the comments on this video ever again, but thanks for giving me some awesome memories and awesome music. \m/
Hey Phil love that you're doing videos! Love Whitechapel; keep up the great music. I wanted to ask if there are any quotes or "codes" you live by? And who inspires you the most to keep going in life?
Does it piss you off when fans try too hard to talk to you? for example: Through your personal Facebook. love the channel so far Phil. Keep up the good work :)
Can you explain your evolution as a vocalist? Like what range did you start out with, and where did you evolve to from that. Like with me I started with mids, then highs became my main thing and im trying lows but I just cant get where I want to go. Any hints, or anything no matter how small would be awesome!
Thanks for playing Frederick MD man. I'm a relatively new fan but you all are set in concrete in my top favorites along with Pantera, Sepultura (with Max Cavalera) and Slayer.
What were you guys doing in Whitechapel that brought attention to record labels? (Building a lot of hype by playing shows, Building hype on the internet etc.)
It's cool to see that you're such a down to earth guy since most people - unfamiliar with the metal scene etc, - wouldn't even dare to think that after listening to your music ;) Anyways:keep up the great music. Cheers!
have you gone through anything in life that you think changed you in a whole different way? On your last video you said "I am a lot older in my mind then I am physically'' i was just curious, in a lot of your songs you say many things are very true and it really gets me thinking on life itself. Your mind is full of knowledge I think and the key to knowledge is acceptance. Your awesome phil!! - One nation under hypocrisy!!!!!!!!!!
On the Recorrupted EP how come you didn't do vocals on the End Of Flesh (Acoustic Version) ? would you consider doing a clean vocal/acoustic version of a Whitechapel song?
How much research did you do for The Somatic Defilement? Why are you so awesome? You guys never disappoint me with your music, be it The Somatic Defilement or the newer album. I look forward to your future works and thanks for reading this.
Do you miss Jonathan Huber when he was the vocalist of I Declare War? It's been it talks that there may be one Reunion show with ex members of IDW is Seattle Washington, if they happens in the future would Whitechapel consider headlining this show?
Where did you get your inspiration for the last album's lyrics? Cause some of the things you wrote are pretty deep, man. That's something I like in metal: good sound and good lyrics.
need to see your band in south of FRANCE dude!!!! I'm singer too and for me your one ov the best singers!!! your created a new type of death vocal!!!!just for that i can say that your a genius!!!! Don't forget that in france you've got fans!!!! brice \m/
i've been listening to you guys for about a year and i haven't come across a single song that hasn't blown my mind ! im an amatuer vocalist and i try to model myself based on your vocals cuz i think you are the best vocalist ive heard in a long time ! i'm done fan girling now . when will you guys come to england ? thanks for being such an insiration! my real name is gary if you get the chance to reply.
I remember that tour with ADBOK. I think it was the "Bang Your Head Til We Raise The Dead" tour. I was at the Valarium on what I think was the last stop of that tour actually. I originally met you and Gabe at the Hideaway when Winds of Plague were there with Veil of Maya, Speak of the End, Impending Doom, and Stick to your Guns back in '08 I believe. That was actually my first show. Lol
As the band writes a song, do you already have lyrics before the instrumentals. or make them up after. Also what helps create your own "rythem" to the vocals.
Real question, though. What are your thoughts and feelings on performing at the Mitch Lucker memorial show? I wasn't able to attend, but I've seen footage. That shit was mani (may-knee)!
After singing in The Mitch Lucker Memorial Show do you think they should do a memorial show every year? Because that was one of the greatest concerts I have seen.
1. Do you have any other job besides Whitechapel? Or is Whitechapel the only financial source in your life? 2. What is your favorite country you've been to? (I hope for you it's Germany :P)
HA i have the same problem as you but with liquor after i got alcohol poisoning even a small amount cant trigger my vomit reflex cause i spent SOOO much time vomiting...weed is cool though
Since you've played guitar in previous bands and projects, It makes me curious if you have ever written any of the riffs in any whitechapel songs. If you have, which ones?
how did the feat vocals in chelsea grins song all hail the fallen king come about? did you have any lyrical aspects in the song or was is all alex's idea?
Hey Phil ! Where can i get a copy of your previous band's album/ep/demo ???? Please !!! I've seen PB myspace but i am not asking for that... Tell us please, or give us some download.
You guys are one of my favorite bands and my 4 yr old loves your stuff too.. Is your music gonna stay heavy, or are you gonna start throwing in clean vocals and or big "hooks"... Id like it either way, just wondering..
phil you are my absolute favorite vocals and my biggest idle. my freinds and i are thinking about starting a band.. do you have any tips about vocals for me?
Hey phill just wondering something ? The release of somatic defilement ? Was the process hard for the band ? Are you looking forward to the outcome after its released
i wish you had just gone for recording clean vocals before. I feel identified when he talks about it, wideing your range is the best thing a vocalist can go for.
what other advice would you give to young musicians trying to start up a successful rock/metal band, other than promoting it through Facebook or other social networks? is self-funded touring a good way to build a fan-base or would sending music to record labels and waiting to get signed be a better alternative?
What are the major do's and don't of an aspiring metal band? If you could go back to yourself 10 years ago, what advice regarding your band would you give yourself?? Thanks man
Yo Phil! I saw that you sang at the Mitch Lucker Memorial concert. Were you close with the guys in Suicide Silence? Did you volunteer or were you asked if you could play for them that night? You nailed Unanswered by the way!
Hello Phil, I've got question about you highs, how do you practice them? Personally I don't have any trouble with low growl and grunt sound, but high scream-like sounds i trying to make just hurt my throat. Any advices? I know you don't use them much on records but i've seen them on live videos from your gigs. Btw. come to Poland, will ya? :D TL;DR - I can't into scream, any advices?
He's such a down to earth chill guy
Can you do clean vocals?
Little did they know!! Phil is a beautiful clean singer!! Whitechapel rules! \m/
This comment aged so well
"No! *fart* "
XD i died laughing!
Keep up the good work phil whitechapel live is so fucking awesome .. and btw your cover of unanswered is the best i've ever seen
watching this now I laughed when he talked about clean vocals considering the new album
I love how he says NO! Then puts his butt in the camera!!
spoiler alert
lucastrav lol

It's pretty awesome to see people from bands take time out of days to browse through comments to answer them and connect a little more with fans.

Ben Watson that's good
I just have to say today is officially amazing. Feels great to be acknowledged by your favorite vocalist.
I really love that he does these. It's so refreshing to see a musician showing as much care as Phil does for the fans.
Hey Phil love that you're doing videos! Love Whitechapel; keep up the great music. I wanted to ask if there are any quotes or "codes" you live by? And who inspires you the most to keep going in life?
Does it piss you off when fans try too hard to talk to you? for example: Through your personal Facebook.
love the channel so far Phil. Keep up the good work :)
Coming back to this 5 years later and it’s insane to hear him talk about video games
Phil is actually a very genuine guy, he seems like a really respectful dude. Major props to phil
Can you explain your evolution as a vocalist? Like what range did you start out with, and where did you evolve to from that. Like with me I started with mids, then highs became my main thing and im trying lows but I just cant get where I want to go. Any hints, or anything no matter how small would be awesome!
Who's idea was it to do a cover of Strength Beyond Strength? Great band by the way, and glad to see you're reaching out to your fans.
Cool video bruh i didn't know you had a TH-cam channel, also I didn't know you were inspired by cannibal! good stuff bro

Dizapointment he explained. Watch the video again and listen closely.
Thanks for playing Frederick MD man. I'm a relatively new fan but you all are set in concrete in my top favorites along with Pantera, Sepultura (with Max Cavalera) and Slayer.
+Earl Peach That Frederick show was insane man! Had no idea Whitechapel played venues like that, definitely a very memorable top show of mine as well.
What were you guys doing in Whitechapel that brought attention to record labels? (Building a lot of hype by playing shows, Building hype on the internet etc.)
Can you get Phil Anselmo to do guest vocals on your next album? :D
Your inspiration for becoming a metal singer is the most original and I applause you immensely.
I just wanted to say that is super nice to see you like this! I mean, the cool guy next door :D keep doing it! :)
It's cool to see that you're such a down to earth guy since most people - unfamiliar with the metal scene etc, - wouldn't even dare to think that after listening to your music ;) Anyways:keep up the great music. Cheers!
You're a Titans fan AND a Braves fan? You're literally the coolest person ever, I can't express that enough.
have you gone through anything in life that you think changed you in a whole different way? On your last video you said "I am a lot older in my mind then I am physically'' i was just curious, in a lot of your songs you say many things are very true and it really gets me thinking on life itself. Your mind is full of knowledge I think and the key to knowledge is acceptance. Your awesome phil!! - One nation under hypocrisy!!!!!!!!!!
where can i find Nights and Dreams music now? i cant find them anywhere
On the Recorrupted EP how come you didn't do vocals on the End Of Flesh (Acoustic Version) ? would you consider doing a clean vocal/acoustic version of a Whitechapel song?
Can you do clean vocals?
Ooo you have no idea!
Phil, what keeps you motivated to keep up the musicians life while you aren't on tour and aren't recording?
Im watcing this in 2020 and the clean vocals came up and i think when a demon defiles a witch.
could we see a possible full whitechapel cover of unanswered as a bonus track in the future?
How much research did you do for The Somatic Defilement?
Why are you so awesome?
You guys never disappoint me with your music, be it The Somatic Defilement or the newer album. I look forward to your future works and thanks for reading this.
Do you miss Jonathan Huber when he was the vocalist of I Declare War? It's been it talks that there may be one Reunion show with ex members of IDW is Seattle Washington, if they happens in the future would Whitechapel consider headlining this show?
Will you ever do a vocal video? I remember you had a tweet about it. I'd love to see one!
Where did you get your inspiration for the last album's lyrics? Cause some of the things you wrote are pretty deep, man. That's something I like in metal: good sound and good lyrics.
need to see your band in south of FRANCE dude!!!! I'm singer too and for me your one ov the best singers!!! your created a new type of death vocal!!!!just for that i can say that your a genius!!!! Don't forget that in france you've got fans!!!! brice \m/
did you do a guest vocal with I Declare War in the song Final Hour?

i've been listening to you guys for about a year and i haven't come across a single song that hasn't blown my mind ! im an amatuer vocalist and i try to model myself based on your vocals cuz i think you are the best vocalist ive heard in a long time ! i'm done fan girling now . when will you guys come to england ? thanks for being such an insiration! my real name is gary if you get the chance to reply.
Phil, im interested in knowing where you learned how do such amazing and natural vocals. Please answer !
I remember that tour with ADBOK. I think it was the "Bang Your Head Til We Raise The Dead" tour. I was at the Valarium on what I think was the last stop of that tour actually. I originally met you and Gabe at the Hideaway when Winds of Plague were there with Veil of Maya, Speak of the End, Impending Doom, and Stick to your Guns back in '08 I believe. That was actually my first show. Lol
What would you say to a vocalist in an unsigned metal band?
8 years later and now he is singing cleans in Whitechapel
As the band writes a song, do you already have lyrics before the instrumentals. or make them up after.
Also what helps create your own "rythem" to the vocals.
what was the best part of doing the cover of Strength Beyond Strength?
Real question, though. What are your thoughts and feelings on performing at the Mitch Lucker memorial show? I wasn't able to attend, but I've seen footage. That shit was mani (may-knee)!
In terms of vocal techniques, what has helped you the most to perfect your vocals?
Why did you discontinue the Whitecastle/Whitechapel shirt?! I've been looking everywhere for it and can't find it :(
What advice would you give to a vocalist just joining a band and starting to record a demo?
After singing in The Mitch Lucker Memorial Show do you think they should do a memorial show every year? Because that was one of the greatest concerts I have seen.
What was it like performing at the Mitch Lucker memorial show back in December?
Hey phil are all you vocals exhale?? or do you inhale on the odd occasion ? love your vox btw!
1. Do you have any other job besides Whitechapel? Or is Whitechapel the only financial source in your life?
2. What is your favorite country you've been to? (I hope for you it's Germany :P)
HA i have the same problem as you but with liquor after i got alcohol poisoning even a small amount cant trigger my vomit reflex cause i spent SOOO much time vomiting...weed is cool though
Since you've played guitar in previous bands and projects, It makes me curious if you have ever written any of the riffs in any whitechapel songs. If you have, which ones?
Phil, how do you think of the lyrics for your songs? they are just totally amazing and fucking brutal i love it.
how did the feat vocals in chelsea grins song all hail the fallen king come about? did you have any lyrical aspects in the song or was is all alex's idea?
Do you tend to check out vocal covers of songs by whitechapel often? Or at all?
Hey Phil, when you're home (or really anywhere else too) and you go out to places in your spare time, how often do you get recognized?
How have you started doing this kind of vocals? Any beginner tips?
Phil
What made you decide to remix and remaster the somatic defilement?
how much of the writing do you do minus vocals/lyrics, any input on like riffs, structure etc?
Hey Phil ! Where can i get a copy of your previous band's album/ep/demo ???? Please !!! I've seen PB myspace but i am not asking for that... Tell us please, or give us some download.
You guys are one of my favorite bands and my 4 yr old loves your stuff too.. Is your music gonna stay heavy, or are you gonna start throwing in clean vocals and or big "hooks"... Id like it either way, just wondering..
In your new album, who has done the lyrics part and wanted to know the inspiration behind the lyrics?
Anyway you guys would do a whole tour playing Somatic all the way through?
Hey Phil I do vocals in a band with my friends and I struggle to write lyrics. What inspires you to write and do you have any advice?
phil you are my absolute favorite vocals and my biggest idle. my freinds and i are thinking about starting a band.. do you have any tips about vocals for me?
I was surprised to see he is so down to earth. damn
while you were here in utah, I believe you said you loved touring here. Is that true or do you say that everywhere you go?
I'm a filmmaker and I would love to use Whitechapel's music. What would I have to go through to do that?
Hey phill just wondering something ? The release of somatic defilement ? Was the process hard for the band ? Are you looking forward to the outcome after its released
omg are one of your plugs in backwards? because I was looking at it the whole time.
i wish you had just gone for recording clean vocals before. I feel identified when he talks about it, wideing your range is the best thing a vocalist can go for.
Hey phil I myself am a vocalist and I've been checking around, and can't find what kind of microphone use?
Being that youre a huge vocal inspiration for me what would you say is the best way to keep your voice healthy while screaming?
always knew of whitechapel and kinda liked them but I first started screaming to whitechapel and learned i fucking love your music and you!
"It makes me get the spins.. Soo fuck that shit" lmfaooo
HOLY SHIT MAN, that was when i was first introduced to death metal! ACE VENTURA! so awesome.
what other advice would you give to young musicians trying to start up a successful rock/metal band, other than promoting it through Facebook or other social networks? is self-funded touring a good way to build a fan-base or would sending music to record labels and waiting to get signed be a better alternative?
Hey Phil when your working on lyrics for a song do force yourself to write them or is it a spark of idea to make you work on your lyrics?
Have you guys thought about doing a new album? If so, are you expecting it to be heavier like "a new era of corruption" was?
How sweet is it to be from Tennessee and to live so close to gatlinburg
The fart got me both times. Funny shit. What do you do immediately after a show? It seems like some bands just leave right after their set?
What are the major do's and don't of an aspiring metal band? If you could go back to yourself 10 years ago, what advice regarding your band would you give yourself??
Thanks man
Is there any band "rituals" that you do before a show?
What do you do for warm-ups before a show?
Thanks for answering my question Phil !!
Yo Phil! I saw that you sang at the Mitch Lucker Memorial concert. Were you close with the guys in Suicide Silence? Did you volunteer or were you asked if you could play for them that night? You nailed Unanswered by the way!
Which cd was the last one you bought? And what are your thoughts on djent bands like vildhjarta?
Hello Phil, I've got question about you highs, how do you practice them? Personally I don't have any trouble with low growl and grunt sound, but high scream-like sounds i trying to make just hurt my throat. Any advices? I know you don't use them much on records but i've seen them on live videos from your gigs. Btw. come to Poland, will ya? :D
TL;DR - I can't into scream, any advices?
Not sure if i should ask here or on the other video. But, have you guys played messiahbolical live?
What's it like having Harclerode as the your new drummer? Is he better/worse than Lane or about the same?
