Not the kind of guys you’d want to meet in an alleyway in the dead of night, Whitechapel are named after the infamous area in London in which Jack the Ripper plied his trade of murdering the ladies of the night. Contrary to belief they have not descended from hell itself, but in fact Knoxville, Tennessee, the most unlikely of places for a band like this.

Following up to 2008’s ‘This Is Exile’, ‘A New Era Of Corruption’ throws you straight into the abyss of darkness, with blast beats coming out your nose and vocals which your doctor would prescribe copious to almost endless amounts of Strepsils for, this is nothing short of a visceral beating to your ear drums. Take a dose of Phil Bozeman‘s guttural growls and shrieking screams and mix it in with the intricacy of the three guitar shredding and the ultimate precision of Kevin Lane‘s drumming, and you arrive with a decent album in the mixed bag genre of deathcore.

Job For A Cowboy and Whitechapel are to tour together in November 2010 for one of the most furious and brutal tours to hit the UK in a long time. Both Metal Blade outfits slayed at Download 2010 and can’t wait to team up again after steamrollering through the USA recently.

The bands will have Annotations Of An Autopsy as support on all dates.

NOVEMBER 04 – GLASGOW, Garage
NOVEMBER 05 – SHEFFIELD, Corporation
NOVEMBER 06 – MANCHESTER, Academy 2
NOVEMBER 07 – LONDON, Koko
NOVEMBER 09 – NORWICH, Waterfront
NOVEMBER 10 – WOLVERHAMPTON, Wulfrun Hall

Whitechapel, a band named after a town in London, also the place where the infamous Jack The Ripper committed all of his killings, are one of those few bands out there that are composed with three guitarists. This extra addition to alter a traditional line-up status doesn’t tend to work often, hence why not many bands do it, and those that do don’t get far. This take on things however seems to have worked in Whitechapel‘s favour on ‘This Is Exile’, producing an album drenched in brutality, yet laced with complexity.
