Whitechapel Unleash Video For 'I, Dementia' - Watch Now

Tennessee’s Whitechapel has unleashed the video for the track 'I, Dementia' which comes off of their new full-length self titled album, which was released last week via Metal Blade Records. The video is receiving its exclusive premiere today and was shot by David Brodsky of MyGoodEye as part of the Scion AV Project.
The self-titled fourth album has been met with critical acclaim and fans are clamoring to see the band perform the new material live. Landing spots on five of Billboard’s charts, the album debuted at Number 47 on the Top 200 Chart, Number 10 on the Top Independent Albums Chart, Number 3 on the Hard Music Albums Chart (Current), Number 2 on the Hard Music Albums Chart (Core Stores) and Number 64 on the Top Digital Album Chart.
Having spent several years lauded as one of the frontrunners in their genre, in 2012 Whitechapel stand as a defining force in contemporary heavy music. Building dramatically on the trademarked bludgeon of their first three releases, with Whitechapel the Tennessean sextet have inarguably delivered their most intense, dynamic, and downright hostile record to date. Drenched in atmospheric darkness, the record is also rife with gripping melodies that drag the listener in to the tumult, willing or otherwise, and across its ten tracks it is infused with an emotional depth that pointedly separates the band from the plethora of two-dimensional mosh-starters that have sprung up in their wake.
The album was engineered and mixed by Mark Lewis (Black Dahlia Murder, DevilDriver), who also handled production duties alongside the band. The album artwork was created by Aaron Marsh of Forefathers Group with art direction provided by Whitechapel.
