Longtime followers will detect hints of the previous throughout the brutality. To wit: the riff-tastic “Hate Cult Ritual” is the one track on the album with Drop A tuning, the tuning the primary three WHITECHAPEL albums used. Moreover, Hymns In Dissonance finds vocalist Phil Bozeman dwelling by means of his “previous instances,” or as he states, “the music that introduced me right here. Brutal, darkish, aggressive, heavy music. Dying metallic, black metallic, velocity metallic, and so forth. I really consider that your roots name you again sooner or later in your life and that is that time in my life.”
The band’s dynamic and plainly vicious musicality serves as a soundtrack to the compelling lyrical story that Bozeman vividly imagines. “Hymns In Dissonance is a mockery of the true nature of what hymns are,” Bozeman explains. “Hymns are melodious and harmonious. Dissonance is the other of melody and concord. Dissonance represents evil. The tracks on the document are the hymns, which symbolize the seven lethal sins, starting from monitor three to trace ten. Tracks one and two are the introduction.”
Of “Hate Cult Ritual,” Bozeman notes, “The sin of wrath: this track portrays the overwhelming rage of the cult. Planting the seed of evil throughout the core of the earth to be birthed from soil. All of the rivers and oceans are diseased which nourishes their unborn lord, roaming the earth and murdering all opposers.”
Provides Wade, “I used to be impressed quite a bit by Massacre when scripting this one and felt like Phil nailed the vibe vocally contributing to that. There’s a ferocity and evilness to this monitor that I believe actually units it aside from the remainder. No breakdowns, simply pummeling riffs with evil chanting over the choruses.”

“When the curler coaster of violence, horror, and charming melodies ends… the 44-minute piece has left behind a sense of frustration and an odd, compulsive must let loose vague rumbles, a few octaves decrease than regular speech. Euphoric catharsis and habit – the necessity to hear these melodies once more, regardless of how a lot you get crushed once more. I assume that’s what listening to heavy music must be about. Did my album of the 12 months come out in March?” – Imperiumi

In brief, it’s pummeling but it surely’s by no means simply forgettable.” – Lifeless Rhetoric
“Should you’re speaking about ‘fundamental’ deathcore, this would possibly as nicely be the be-all and end-all now, ’trigger nobody is surpassing this.
