Knoxville, Tennessee deathcore band Whitechapel will embark on an extensive U.S. tour this fall, titled “Rituals Of Hate.” The tour, spanning over two dozen cities from November 12 to December 14, will see the band perform their latest album, Hymns In Dissonance, in its entirety, alongside some fan favorites.
Supporting Whitechapel on all dates will be Bodysnatcher, Angelmaker, and Disembodied Tyrant.
The band shared their excitement for the tour, stating: “After the overwhelming responses from the Hymns In Dissonance release, we decided it would be great to close out the year by giving this album to the fans live front to back. The tour will be ending with our 10th annual hometown Christmas benefit show in Knoxville, Tennessee. Do not wait and grab your tickets/VIP now for this special tour!”
Hymns In Dissonance, released on March 7, 2025, through Metal Blade Records, showcases Whitechapel’s dynamic and brutal style, which serves as a backdrop to vocalist Phil Bozeman’s vivid lyrical concepts.
Bozeman explained the album’s theme: “Hymns In Dissonance is a mockery of the true nature of what hymns are. Hymns are melodious and harmonious. Dissonance is the opposite of melody and harmony. Dissonance represents evil. The tracks on the record are the hymns, which represent the seven deadly sins, beginning from track three to track ten. Tracks one and two are the introduction.”
Whitechapel, formed in 2006, has maintained a consistent core lineup since 2007, consisting of vocalist Phil Bozeman, guitarists Ben Savage, Zach Householder, and Alex Wade, and bassist Gabe Crisp. Drummer Brandon Zackey joined the band in 2022.
