Whitechapel Unleash “Hate Cult Ritual” Music Video

Whitechapel have unleashed a new music video for “Hate Cult Ritual”, a track from their recently released album, Hymns In Dissonance. Directed by David Brodsky (Cattle Decapitation, King Diamond), the video arrives just a week after the album’s debut.

Vocalist Phil Bozeman shared the following insight into the song’s concept:

“The sin of wrath: this song portrays the overwhelming rage of the cult. Planting the seed of evil within the core of the earth to be birthed from soil. All the rivers and oceans are diseased, which nourishes their unborn lord, roaming the earth and murdering all opposers.”

Meanwhile, guitarist Zach Householder added:

“I was inspired a lot by Bloodbath when writing this one and felt like Phil nailed the vibe vocally. There is a ferocity and evilness to this track that I think really sets it apart from the rest. No breakdowns, just pummeling riffs with evil chanting over the choruses.”
