How many whitechapel albums are there
While each song is complex and would require going line by line to truly break down what they are actually about, Bozeman offers explanations of the first three.
Opener "I Will Find You" takes place right after the last track off The Valley, "Doom Woods", which sees Bozeman entering into his life following the events characterized on that album. It's the part of me that can't let go and will go to any heights to find the real me and pull me back into the dark past that I want to move on from. He knows I'm at a vulnerable point of my life, and this is a perfect time to pull me in. However, I resist and the alternate me is cast back into where he came from.
Eventually the character kills himself only to find himself in the same world, but it's dark, depressing, and he's full of delusional thoughts. Throughout the song, he relives certain parts of our past life but with different outcomes. These haunting lyrics and themes are accompanied by album art designed by Jillian Savage - as Wade explains, " The artwork was a concept that was developed by Ben Savage and the band that was hand-painted by Ben's wife, Jillian Savage.
Ben arranged a mock-up of what we were envisioning digitally, then they projected that image onto a canvas, and she painted the piece in a pointillism style - dot by dot - over the course of several weeks. The result produced the perfect vibe for the more artistic direction of the record. Not only was the music painstakingly labored over, but the art was too. Tracking of Kin was predominantly done at guitarist Zach Householder's home studio with producer Mark Lewis producing his fifth straight Whitechapel album, making for a very comfortable working environment.
The tracks were then sent off to David Castillo at Ghostward Studios in Sweden in February for mixing, Ted Jensen mastering it in Nashville in March, making for a total of ten months spent on the record, the longest the band have worked on one to-date. I hadn't had any idea that I would be doing [music as a career].
I just enjoyed the music and never really thought about playing music in a band. That was the ultimate shock factor for me. At the age I discovered them that was the most extreme type of metal to me… they just sounded like monsters. I was addicted to it. I would watch that movie over and over again just to see that part.
I would rewind it and everything. It was pretty insane for a kid that young. I wanted to get that album, but of course my mom wouldn't let me get it. A lot of this stuff is pretty socially acceptable today. But back then … no one wanted their kids to be seeing anything like that. I mean I'm sure it's probably the same thing today, but we have the internet and access to pretty much anything we want.
But I was like, How the hell do they do this! Anytime I tried to do it I just started coughing and had no idea how they were doing it. I believe I was in sixth or seventh grade when I heard this. I was, again, terrified — but I loved it. Seeing nine people on the front of the cover and they looked like a bunch of serial killers. Then of course the music was … I heard "Wait and Bleed," and it was super aggressive and very dark sounding.
And the production on the record — there was just something about it that was very unsettling, very raw and dark to me. Their whole aesthetic was incredible.
Scary, but incredible. Back then … no one knew what they looked like or who they were. And people were searching around for photos or anything they could find for them to be unmasked.
There was speculation … the whole mystery behind them was just crazy. Corey Taylor [also eventually became] a huge vocal inspiration for me. Three 6 Mafia inspired me with their dark imagery and subject matter along with the fast rapping. I was always drawn to the speed Southern rap usually had. I grew up listening to hip-hop, Southern rap and other stuff that was similar, like Bone Thugs and stuff.
That fast Nineties rap from like Louisiana and Texas. Of course, I listened to other stuff like Nas and 2Pac and Biggie. But Three 6 … I had a certain kind of connection to them because they were from Tennessee, and their music, their beats, are so dark and really scary sounding.
