Another new Whitechapel song surfaces, NPR stream Thou

         

           Well these are two diametrically opposed acts.

           Whitechapel have raised the hype on their upcoming fifth full-length Our Endless War by releasing a new single, 'Mono'. Compared to 'the Saw is the Law' from a few weeks back, 'Mono' is far more aggressive and fast-paced, echoing the band's pre-2012 work - think A New Era of Corruption with a mite more Suicide Silence-type bubbling fury mixed in. It's a fun listen, culminating in an edgier-than-normal 'KILL YOURSELF!' as Phil Bozeman shows off his insane vocal range. Stream it at AP here.

            Secondly, as the release date of Thou's sonic titan Heathen looms, the album has both already found its way online, courtesy of the band, but in a fit of bizarreness, NPR is streaming the album in its entirety. I haven't checked it out yet, but my school's metal society is having a listening party tomorrow to hear it in its entirety. Stream it here.
