LYRICS: Rehtaf fo seil Rehtaf fo eht ssyba Ew emoc morf woleb Nepo ruoy seye gnik Reficul Redrum meht lla I've come to consume all the seas And walk with the surface of the sun beneath my feet I stand before this withered sepulcher Saturating my flesh in sulfur The fruitful now rotten Restrained by roots of feces and mold Oh, how I've longed for the stench And the gentle caress of ivory skin of a witch Of righteous, I am not Feel the worms crawl in your every orifice Your eyes start to jaundice as they make their way through Converted to our ways, you can't ignore this Saved from the faith that'll fuck you Brothers, sisters, mothers smothered In the name of the father, the abyss walker The cloth from which I'm cut will never fray For it is hexed by this hymn that I sing The trinity denied Our bloodline will never dry My words, unsanctified In time, we'll chant these lines I am the last living son of the father of lies The millions of legions that follow by my side Shall exalt, praise and worship the gift of his possession Exiled no more, we spread because we are the disease Hang the virgins Burn the children Hymns of dissonance we sing As the bowels of holy men begin to drain For those of you who think that the walls can't break Behold the rusted piece that you will sit on Feel it penetrate, as above so below It's the last thing you taste, the shit runs deep Natas, eht rehtaf Ehtab su ni ruflus Natas, eht rehtaf Ehtab su ni ruflus We speak in tongues and wallow in rot The light of the earth, forgot As you lay impaled on this inverted cross I masticate the throats of your lambs As I masturbate to the sound of them choking A seed of change, from which spawned of my hand Shall inseminate inside the womb of a whore We are the last living sons of the father of lies We cast out the light, eternally refuged in night Brother Daemon, in your profane name we thrive To all that are dead, stay dead We are the means to a messiahbolical end Father, we've come to devour the eyes of god Acid and the iris now as one All-seeing, with the heart encased in fire Burn, burn Reversal of the cycle of life itself Back to the womb we shall terminate Burn, burn, burn, burn Burn, forever burn
Love the references, Phil wasnt lying when he said this album is going to be dark, satanic and a direct sequel to This is Exile, im fucking here for it!!
@@Midwayeryeah dude I watch catching on & that’s pretty sick fr fr. Ode to the past cause we all know “This Is Exile” was 10/10 a banger. This single 10/10. Heavy. This is the kind of heavy going to that original sound before all this vocal gymnastics & build ups to one break down. I’d say the boys are back in town.
"I am the last living son of the father of lies The millions of legions that follow by my side Shall exalt, praise and worship the gift of his possession Exiled no more, we spread because we are the disease" [Later in the song] "We are the last living sons of the father of lies We cast out the light, eternally refuged in night Brother Daemon, in your profane name we thrive To all that are dead, stay dead We are the means to a messiahbolical end" Very nice call-backs to This is Exile, which make sense because they've said this new album is the direct follow-up to This is Exile.
There are some vague melodic components in the song from This Is Exile as well! 3:40 sounds vaguely like To All That Are Dead, for example 5:10 is reminiscent of Of Legions
Pure unadulterated evil. The rancid filth that I miss from modern metal. No gimmicks, no djent, no annoying vocal olympics, no squeaky clean production, no memes, no fake drums and bass, no bullshit afterthought lyrics written just so the vocalist can do tunnel throats, no holding back. This is the era of deathcore that felt dirty and menacing. It felt unclean to listen to. I miss it so, so much. This direction from WC makes me happy to know that other musicians and composers recognize how insincere, palpable, formulaic, and fake so much of deathcore has become. It is such a breath of fresh air to see that these guys know what made their previous work stand out, and this is coming from someone who loves the Valley and Kin (Mark of the Blade being the only one I couldnt get behind). I am so stoked about this record, and if they do choose to return to some of the more clean, emotional stuff in the future, I hope they can continue to incorporate the type of grisly malevolence this, Somatic Defilement and This is Exile bring forward. Maybe they can teach these newer bands that simply writing a breakdown that sounds like modern Lorna Shore isn't enough to make a song good
@theonlyone992 The genre was stagnant. From about 2008 onward it was just an assembly line of bands playing open notes and gurgling. It didn't get interesting again until they started playing with symphonic black metal elements, and that burnt out fast when everyone did it. This is better than both of those, but the genre was stagnant way before Lorna Shore became the headliner.
@DraperJake because this kind of deathcore is absent nowadays. Modern deathcore is basically a different genre, and it's all about overperformance and being as over the top as possible
That ending breakdown is INSANE, holy balls. Every other deathcore band can step the fuck aside, the unholy year of 2025 belongs to Philly B and WHITECHAPEL!!! \m/
"Literally hit different" every time i see people saying that all I can hear is some whiny American college student like the plastics from the movie "Mean Girls"😂😂😂
I don’t know how to explain it, but at the end I was in tears due to the sheer power of that fucking breakdown at the end. That breakdown is going down as an all time great. That’s absolutely insane.
Great fucking song and video, but "A Visceral Retch" is still a bit more memorable for me personally. However I really like how much this sounds like it could be a hidden bonus track from "This Is Exile" especially with every song from that album being referenced in the lyrics
This fucks hard. Also, Brandons addition to the band was a huuuuge step forward imo, what's nice about it as well is that his drumming is so recognizable. When I hear fills/licks that are played between HHs and a Zildjian FX Stack in a Metal Song, I know it's Brandon Zackey
To those saying “Chapel is back.” They never left. You just spent ten years talking shit because they didn’t make the music you wanted them to make. Smdh. They’ve always been capable and this is the proof. Eat your words.
I was 4 minutes in and realized there were two more minutes of destruction waiting for me. Needless to say, I’m going to be doing some drywall work for the next couple days
If the album trends with the same heavy heat the first 2 singles have this could be an absolutely legendary metal album. No one does it like the almighty WC
Bring it Whitechapel. I am ready to receive you. Glad to catch you on the Lorna Shore/Kublai Khan tour earlier this year. Edit: this is heavy. Takes me back to when I first heard Possession, Father of Lies, Messiahbolical. This is heavy son, DEVOUR THE EYES OF GOD! (Insert heaviest breakdown of 2025) Satan the father bathe us in sulfur
LYRICS:
Rehtaf fo seil
Rehtaf fo eht ssyba
Ew emoc morf woleb
Nepo ruoy seye gnik Reficul
Redrum meht lla
I've come to consume all the seas
And walk with the surface of the sun beneath my feet
I stand before this withered sepulcher
Saturating my flesh in sulfur
The fruitful now rotten
Restrained by roots of feces and mold
Oh, how I've longed for the stench
And the gentle caress of ivory skin of a witch
Of righteous, I am not
Feel the worms crawl in your every orifice
Your eyes start to jaundice as they make their way through
Converted to our ways, you can't ignore this
Saved from the faith that'll fuck you
Brothers, sisters, mothers smothered
In the name of the father, the abyss walker
The cloth from which I'm cut will never fray
For it is hexed by this hymn that I sing
The trinity denied
Our bloodline will never dry
My words, unsanctified
In time, we'll chant these lines
I am the last living son of the father of lies
The millions of legions that follow by my side
Shall exalt, praise and worship the gift of his possession
Exiled no more, we spread because we are the disease
Hang the virgins
Burn the children
Hymns of dissonance we sing
As the bowels of holy men begin to drain
For those of you who think that the walls can't break
Behold the rusted piece that you will sit on
Feel it penetrate, as above so below
It's the last thing you taste, the shit runs deep
Natas, eht rehtaf
Ehtab su ni ruflus
Natas, eht rehtaf
Ehtab su ni ruflus
We speak in tongues and wallow in rot
The light of the earth, forgot
As you lay impaled on this inverted cross
I masticate the throats of your lambs
As I masturbate to the sound of them choking
A seed of change, from which spawned of my hand
Shall inseminate inside the womb of a whore
We are the last living sons of the father of lies
We cast out the light, eternally refuged in night
Brother Daemon, in your profane name we thrive
To all that are dead, stay dead
We are the means to a messiahbolical end
Father, we've come to devour the eyes of god
Acid and the iris now as one
All-seeing, with the heart encased in fire
Burn, burn
Reversal of the cycle of life itself
Back to the womb we shall terminate
Burn, burn, burn, burn
Burn, forever burn
Almost every single song name from this is exile, is a lyric in this song. I cannot wait.
Man this shit is so well written Phil Bozeman is such a good vocalist he has truly evolved
Literally the backward words sound like an African zulu dialect
Love the references, Phil wasnt lying when he said this album is going to be dark, satanic and a direct sequel to This is Exile, im fucking here for it!!
@@Midwayeryeah dude I watch catching on & that’s pretty sick fr fr. Ode to the past cause we all know “This Is Exile” was 10/10 a banger. This single 10/10. Heavy.

Hearing Phil chant sacrilegious lyrics backwards scratches a part of my brain I didn’t know I had
I thought it was some ancient language. Thanks for that. Now I know.
IM AM SO READY
LETS GOOOOO
Yes! And then new Kardashev next, ok?! 🤘
New vocal analysis incoming 🤘🏻
Will be awaiting your follow up video 😂
the song is out already just not the video
Therapist: “Practice mindfulness at home.”
Mindfulness at home:
Last album had us asking "who hurt Phil Bozeman?". This one's got us asking "who is Phil Bozeman going to hurt?"
Yeah man
Alex Terrible. With. His. CHAINSAWWW
this one's his revenge 😭
That's not what Kin was about...
No he just realized he had made a BS album and now he wanted to return to excellence 😊
"I am the last living son of the father of lies
The millions of legions that follow by my side
Shall exalt, praise and worship the gift of his possession
Exiled no more, we spread because we are the disease"
[Later in the song]
"We are the last living sons of the father of lies
We cast out the light, eternally refuged in night
Brother Daemon, in your profane name we thrive
To all that are dead, stay dead
We are the means to a messiahbolical end"
Very nice call-backs to This is Exile, which make sense because they've said this new album is the direct follow-up to This is Exile.
Love the lyrical callbacks to songs from This is Exile
There are some vague melodic components in the song from This Is Exile as well!
3:40 sounds vaguely like To All That Are Dead, for example
5:10 is reminiscent of Of Legions
this single hits harder than tim lambesis seeing an empty band practice room 😤😤😤
Jajajajaja
Well remembered😅
LOL, nailed it!
WE NEED THE ALBUM TO BE RELEASED NOW!
7th March
Ive only heard 2 songs from it yet and its already gonna be my album of the year
Finally a new release!! I've been listening to *A Visceral Retch* on repeat
I love the first part where Phil reversed the words lmao
Can't wait to hear the new album, been a fan for over 15 years
Since 08 for me
WE DO FUN METAL THINGS HERE!
Pure unadulterated evil. The rancid filth that I miss from modern metal. No gimmicks, no djent, no annoying vocal olympics, no squeaky clean production, no memes, no fake drums and bass, no bullshit afterthought lyrics written just so the vocalist can do tunnel throats, no holding back.

I feel disgusting after listening to it. Absolutely perfect
Yeah. This is pretty good. I dunno that 97% of the paragraph needs to be why everything else is bad, but it's good.
@@DraperJakeThe genre is stagnant. Cave pun intended. A reset is needed.
@theonlyone992 The genre was stagnant. From about 2008 onward it was just an assembly line of bands playing open notes and gurgling.

This cave will never be the same after this album 😈
That ending breakdown is INSANE, holy balls. Every other deathcore band can step the fuck aside, the unholy year of 2025 belongs to Philly B and WHITECHAPEL!!! \m/
Not to mention they set a real person on fire at the end 🤘🔥
After having heard this live. I can say this is going to literally hit different. 🤘🏻
"Literally hit different" every time i see people saying that all I can hear is some whiny American college student like the plastics from the movie "Mean Girls"😂😂😂
Dude... that was heavy! Was already excited for the new album, but now I'm even more excited! March 7th can't come fast enough!
This music is indeed a fucking
This is exactly what the OG fans have been wanting! So satisfying.
One of the extremely rare instances a band claims "We're going back to our roots" and 100% DELIVERS. 🔥
MARCH SEVENTH?! THAT IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER?
Guys, I am EXCITED FOR MUSIC AGAIN.
This is definitely the heaviest darkest track I’ve heard, and I love it.
The old Whitechapel is fucking back!
Can't wait to destroy my ears to this 🤯🤯🤯
The kings are so back! 😤🖤🥀
WHITECHAPEL SAID “gtfb 2025 is OUR year” for the rest of the deathcore bands
Phil said he goes to dark places to write lyrics
I can’t even imagine the process for this one 😅
Can't wait for the new album. Haven't been this excited for a release in a while. Both singles have been insane!
I don’t know how to explain it, but at the end I was in tears due to the sheer power of that fucking breakdown at the end. That breakdown is going down as an all time great. That’s absolutely insane.
😮 i feel that another banger is coming here duh 💪
Let's go so ready
I LOVED this song live! This music video is 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for the lyrics!
Great fucking song and video, but "A Visceral Retch" is still a bit more memorable for me personally. However I really like how much this sounds like it could be a hidden bonus track from "This Is Exile" especially with every song from that album being referenced in the lyrics
2:48 this bit goes unbelievably hard.
I feel like michael Scott running around saying oh my god it’s happening
That last breakdown boned me up.
These deer skulls look amazing
as an unnamed legend once said.
"i not speak english very well, but this music is a fucking"
Whitechapel has been my favorite band for over a decade, even when they change their flavor a bit i still said it. This is why.
It is dark af. Missed classic WhiteChapel for so long. Glad they decided to go darker and older route this time.
Let‘s Go Phil B ✊🏻
Almost got my eyebrow piercing ripped out during this song at the Lorna Shore tour. It's absolutely insane. A true follow up to This Is Exile. 🔥
We just gonna ignore the fact they set a real person on fire at the end? 🔥😈
I’m sooooo excited to be listening to this can’t wait for the album I’m gonna buy like 10 copies
BROOOOO IM SO EXCITEDDDD
Am I the only one who weeped tears of joy?
Who’s up Whiting Their Chapels Rn?? OG Deathcore this is the year baby!!
Gracias por todo Metal Blade, te quiero mucho 💀🩻🖤
INJECT THIS STRAIGHT INTO MY CEREBELLUM!!
Brutal, infernal, aggressive, hateful and demonic... how beautiful, bro! How beautiful!!!
This fucks hard.
Also, Brandons addition to the band was a huuuuge step forward imo, what's nice about it as well is that his drumming is so recognizable.
When I hear fills/licks that are played between HHs and a Zildjian FX Stack in a Metal Song, I know it's Brandon Zackey
To those saying “Chapel is back.” They never left. You just spent ten years talking shit because they didn’t make the music you wanted them to make. Smdh. They’ve always been capable and this is the proof. Eat your words.
Exactly.
Nah they left. Some major dogshit boring albums
@TranscendencyBand1 Only an idiot like you would say that.
@@TranscendencyBand1 Spoken like someone who’s never written an album in their life. Thank you for proving my point.
@ I have plenty of times XD, I just have taste. Idc if they got less heavy, the music just wasn’t as good and that’s all there is to it
The KINGS have returned !
So badass when I hear the first verse I start laughing and have Goosebumps at the same time🤘🤘💯
This slaps harder than generational adhd.
Burning yeah! 🤘🏻🤘🏻.
So ready to start this year with this banger 🎉
The kings are back🔥🔥🔥
GAWDDAYUM this is going to be a great year for music, this is so fuckin raw and powerful
Absolutely ridiculous how good Whitechapel are. Another amazing track.
First Architects and then this ...im happy.
Whitechapel has never been this back!
Death Metal has never been this back!
This album is gonna absolutely shhhnasty and I can't wait
ABSOLUTELY MINDBLOWING
I think i just blew my speakers in my truck!!!!!
I knew what I was doing when I decided to stan Whitechapel 17 years ago
The boys are back!
LORNA YOU GOTTA FIGHT BACK 😭😭😭😭😭
Pummeling amounts of filth will bury you with these songs thickness. Bravo gentlemen!
Jumalauta mitä settiä!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🍻🍻
THE KING IS BACK👑
this is gonna be a good year for deathcore, I feel it
I was 4 minutes in and realized there were two more minutes of destruction waiting for me. Needless to say, I’m going to be doing some drywall work for the next couple days
Slc q pedrada em! Come to Brazil🇧🇷 🔥
If the album trends with the same heavy heat the first 2 singles have this could be an absolutely legendary metal album. No one does it like the almighty WC
now THIS is the new whitechapel i was hoping for!
A song full of Visceral Retch! I love it
Yo can't wait to hear this
All of the This Is Exile references at the end 😮
So powerful Demon vocals 👺
Welcomeback Deathcore OGS 🤘
Bring it Whitechapel. I am ready to receive you. Glad to catch you on the Lorna Shore/Kublai Khan tour earlier this year.
Edit: this is heavy. Takes me back to when I first heard Possession, Father of Lies, Messiahbolical. This is heavy son, DEVOUR THE EYES OF GOD! (Insert heaviest breakdown of 2025)
Satan the father bathe us in sulfur
Phil has dynamite in his throat 🔥🔥Best band deathcore !!!!
Thats how deathcore should exist
Daaaaaang very excited for the album
Cannot fucking wait. Already got tickets to see them in Chicago
Ready to get absolutely pulverized by this new album. Thank you Guttural God PhilyB and the Chapel boys 🫡🤘🏻
Shades of first two albums. Sounds good.
They summoned legions ! Beautiful song
SICK!
Please please please please!
do something together with Alex Terrible!
GOAT doing GOAT things 🖤🔥
looking forward
It's like when Bozeman wanted to summon Satan, but he summoned himself.
CLEAN UP ON AISLE 7... HOLY SHIT GUYS I AM SO FUCKING READY!!!!!!!
Good god almighty, I just got flashbacks of 2008🤯🤯🤯
Holy heavy! Whitechapel is back to there Roots.🗿🔥
Leshy and Whitechapel is really something beyond !!

Holy shit!! Listening now. So excited
I have transcended reality, I am brand new after this song
