Whitechapel - A Bloodsoaked Symphony (Drum Playthrough)

"A Bloodsoaked Symphony" from the "Kin" album.

Follow Whitechapel:

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. “Creating records with him has an effortless flow to it, and we can track things pretty quickly and efficiently these days,” says Wade. “Mark has a great ear for giving us unique and complementary guitar and drum tones for the songs we are trying to record.” The tracks were then sent off to David Castillo at Ghostward Studios in Sweden for mixing, with Ted Jensen mastering it in Nashville, TN. Now, having another album they can be as proud of as its predecessor, it stands them in good stead as they look toward the future. “I see more growth and a limitless potential,” says Wade. “I think we found a great formula on ‘The Valley’, and we used that to create another monumental record for our career that I can’t wait for people to hear. We hope to continue to grow our fanbase with this new album, and always seek to move in a positive direction. I’m excited as the pandemic lessens for the touring world to come back to life and to be able to perform these massive songs we have created in the manner they were meant to be heard – live and loud.”

Whitechapel line-up:
Phil Bozeman – vocals
Ben Savage – guitar
Alex Wade – guitar
Gabe Crisp – bass
Zach Householder – guitar
Alex Rüdinger – drums

So happy Alex has taken over permanently...dig his style. It fits perfectly

[franlovelsimic]

People can complain about how simple their three guitar "attack" is (I agree) but this is why drums are so important and Rudi always brings the heat. Very excited for the record!

[thestatzman]

That cymbal work was nuts!!! Rudi is the man!

[lastditch]

Now this is how to crush a metal song and not overplay. Very well composed, powerful parts. So good.

[JayKayProductions]

Never disappointed when this beast sits behind the drumkit. The sound is sick and only superseded by the incredible playing. Really happy for him being a permanent Whitechapel member now ❤️

Dude I feel like I've watched Whitechapel go through four or five drummers now, you guys never cease to impress very good playthrough.

[foofy]

Kit sounds amazing, some really well written parts too that perfectly compliment the piece

[daltonmiller]

I'm digging these playthrough of the new album

[codyhart]

The kicks have that perfect thud and attack. Cuts through steel

I like Whitechapel, but I’ve been a huge loyal fan of Alex Rüdinger since he was a middle school kid with long hair. With that being said (not hating on Whitechapel’s music) this play through doesn’t scratch what this guy can do. Go to his channel and you’ll be amazed of how profesional, precise and good he is. I consider him top 3 metal drummers out there. Underrated for his talent.

It blows my kind some times, how a group of dudes create these amazing arrangements of sound for people to take in.

[cesarperez-cardenas]

After so many years following Rudinger, happy to see him with Whitechapel. 👍👍👍👍

[krobzzzz]

I don't know where this dude lives but there must be something in the tapwater there, beyond human performance

[DARKSWORD]

Could watch him all day, strangely relaxing aswell probably cos he just makes it look so easy !

[SpartanCarver]

Actually the best metal drummer in the game right now.

[hrldhns]

As amazing as his playing is, i cant get over how fucking awesome the orange details on the kit looks. Am i the only one?

[km.drums_]

At first I didn’t realize how intricate the cymbal work was in the chorus. Dope ass playthrough great drummer

[shawshaynk]

Uff. So chunky, this just feels good in the bones. I love heavy handed drummers, great job man. Well done.

[figmentofyourimagination]

Years ago (I believe Kevin Lane was drumming when I read this) someone said "Whitechapel has never had a bad drummer. The quote still rings true today.

[backingtrackstudios]

This drum audio is incredible, and the cymbal work is pure genius
