“There may be nothing good about Hymns In Dissonance, from the riffs, to the lyrics, to the general vibe of the album,” says guitarist Alex Wade of the band’s newest output. “We tried to put in writing our heaviest album to this point. We wished to place out one thing that was shockingly menacing and brutal.”
“The album follows the story of a cultist who’s gathering worthy individuals to hitch his cult,” Wade additional elaborates, “and there are moments within the storyline the place the cult followers are singing an evil hymn to open a portal for the pinnacle cultist to enter.“
The band’s dynamic, brutal musicality serves as a soundtrack to the compelling lyrical story that vocalist Phil Bozeman vividly imagines. “Hymns In Dissonance is a mockery of the true nature of what hymns are,” Bozeman explains. “Hymns are melodious and harmonious.

Whereas Hymns In Dissonance follows 2021′s Kin chronologically, the brand new album is definitely considerably of a sequel to This Is Exile thematically, the three-word title Hymns In Dissonance representing that correlation.
The band began composing the brand new album at Householder’s studio in June of 2023, following their headlining tour for The Valley. The collective caught to a strict weekday schedule, the construction permitting for max creativity and minimal burnout. Householder produced Hymns In Dissonance, which allowed the musicians to seamlessly change gears from preproduction to recording the complete album with out skipping a beat. The guitarist shadowed producer Mark Lewis loads during the last 5 WHITECHAPEL albums and bringing that affect contained in the band is a full circle second for Householder and WHITECHAPEL. “It’s cool that we will be self-sufficient and produce a document of this magnitude ourselves; not numerous bands can say that.”
Prematurely of the discharge, immediately the band unleashes a video for the title observe. Notes Bozeman, “It’s about [the storyline’s cultist] constructing his cult of followers: Solely essentially the most heinous and vile individuals on the planet displaying their devotion to their lord, committing horrible acts, and the chief showcasing his energy and his goal to commit the seven cardinal sins to resurrect their lord, and to switch divinity with evil.”
Provides Wade, “Principally written by Phil on guitar, ‘Hymns In Dissonance’ has a number of riffs and tweaks thrown in by the remainder of us. He can churn out some pummeling riffs and it’s probably the greatest songs on the album as a result of he had a imaginative and prescient for the entire track with the riffs and vocals. It’s tuned to Drop G which we’ve been utilizing for the reason that self-titled LP, however the ending breakdown shifts down one entire step to Drop F, which we’ve by no means accomplished earlier than. Having the ultimate breakdown shift decrease than the remainder of the track actually helped the tip have the crushing feeling it wanted.”
