Whitechapel - Bring Me Home (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@metalbladerecords]

Phil Bozeman: “This video means more to me than any video we've ever done. It portrays my struggle through dealing with my dad's death at the age of 10. The shots of me show me at my darkest moments. Suicidal thoughts, suicide note and feeling alone. The atmosphere of the room we shot this is nailed exactly how I was feeling at the time. Dark, depressed and suicidal. The shots of the man and young boy portray my bond I had with my dad and how devastated I was when he left. They are presented to be in a dream like state of me remembering him. The last shot is from my dad and mom's actual gravesite. It's really awesome to have that authenticity to the video. The final scene is showing that I came out of it alive but no matter what, I will push forward and not give up.”

[@Kinggg679]

So sad your parents passed away at such young age. Be strong man!!!

[@RAMMSSHADOW]

This video really moved me. As an aspiring musician and someone who has dealt with their demons all of their life I feel I understand your pain although I will never know it. Phil stay strong. We are all a family in the metal community when you feel as though you have nobody you have your brother in arms.

[@lambotama]

That last scene got me right in the feels. I wish people understood that songs are about emotions, not genres.

[@metalbladerecords]

That's a great way to put it. Invariably, what musicians write and record at 19 will always be different than what they do at 30 after touring the world a dozen times.

[@008DREW]

I don't mind it if they haven't completely transitioned. This isn't heavy, if it was, it wouldn't have any screaming. Heavy is dark, screaming in a song like this makes it seem like they are dipping their toes into the water - which isn't heavy.

[@WinedandDined27]

i beg to differ. tasteful screaming is heavy, be it used at certain parts of a song or throughout an entire song, as long as the song calls for it. examples of each; hospital for souls by bmth, a lot of singing as well as tasteful bits of screaming, and letter to the unborn by lamb of god, nothing but screaming throughout. both songs are about as emotionally heavy as it comes in the metal genre. you've never been hit so deeply by something good or bad that you felt like screaming? I'm not implying my opinion on whether this song is heavy or not, just thoroughly disagreeing with your unnecessarily black and white statement.

[@ZolFox]

Also, that’s a guitar in the intro, not a bass, you can hear the difference when the bass does finally come in as soon as the vocals start. And yes, they tune that low. Not quite 8 strings but as close as you can get cuz I think they tune to G Standard.

[@sacredxgeometry]

Let me preface my amazement with this distant thought: at first I didn't like the album, but let me tell you, this song hits so close. This song was beautifully written and though I have my own reservations about Whitechapel's most recent work overall, considering who I knew them for back in their heyday and who they are now by comparison, I'm keeping that opinion locked away because it doesn't deserve to be here. The passion and emotion in this song is undeniable and it makes me want to take back the BS I've said about this band's directions, because it has changed my perception of metal especially a band as extreme as Whitechapel has proven to be. I just wanted to say all this because a lot of you are hating in the comments, but this is not your band. This is not your group, you are just a fan. I was just a fan. My opinions don't matter, because the thoughts in this song transcend it. So just keep your mouths shut, and if you don't enjoy that a band wanted to take a step back from the brutality for a second to mourn the deep trauma hidden behind the past of Phil Bozeman losing his father at the age of 10, then you can go fuck yourself behind a shed in the middle of the rain you sick fuck. Thank you Whitechapel, for honestly changing my mind about who you were, and who you're becoming. I'll give your record a serious, honest listen and come up with my own realistic ideas about your music rather than shutting you out for being expressive. That's what an open-minded fan would do. That's what I urge you all to do. EDIT: Their newest record, which features more of these melodic subtleties, has become an album in constant rotation with some of the most extreme and obscure records I listen to this year. Whitechapel is here to stay and they are here to SLAY! I've seen them live 3 times since writing this comment. While Mark of the Blade is not my favourite record of theirs, I really have been able to stop looking at "modern Whitechapel" negatively. This is a band with so many styles, influences, and ideas blending together and it always seems to wind up working out at the end of the day. Really excited for whatever they do next (although I do hope they bring some blast beats back hehe).

Wow this song just pushed Whitechapel over that edge of being just another Deathcore metal band and transcending into being true artists. Any band that takes the risk to do something different without any regard to what the masses may think deserves respect.. Especially when they pull it off with flying colors. One of their best tracks ive heard them do in a while. This whole album seems so much better than the two previous efforts. Even though i still enjoyed them they felt alot more like they were just settling into a comfort zone and starting to sound all the same. This albums changed all that. Especially this song and its a very powerful song at that. Reaffirms my feeling of these guys being one of my favorites bands. And meeting them was very interesting as well seeing as how all those guys are very down to earth most especially Phil. Super nice guy and very humble and willing to take the time to meet a fan and talk to them for a few minutes after a show.

[@jasongraham4425]

My worst nightmares when I wake up and can't explain just how it makes me feel. I feel like whitechapel understands.

[@joshuamathis8676]

This song got me through a lot after my mom died 5 years ago, and still does to this day. Thank you, Phil and Whitechapel.

[@DirtyBirdConway]

My dad also died when I was 10. I’m 28 now. Much love and respect Phil and all of Whitechapel.

[@idolevi4054]

I have to say it, even 3 years after this song was released, the solo in the end still breaks me into tears sometimes. This song is built so well, and delivers the emotions through every single element in it

[@KiSsMyaSsAsS3n]

i never thought i say a Whitechapel made me tear.up but this was a work of art phil

[@reignzmane]

fr lo

[@DanHovington]

Years later, as a dad... this still bring me to tears every fucking time !

[@IRONxROB]

This song clutches onto my soul. I'm a combat vet, Iraq and Afghanistan, former Infantryman. This song means so fucking much to me.

[@PRO10043LIK]

thank you for your service dude 🫡

[@jeanfranco9451]

I close my eyes and count to ten The seconds turn to years and slowly I've been recognizing everything Through an adolescent mind It's so dark here For the first time I feel alive But you're not here Life, it changes Wake me up and bring me home Let me stay here forever I can't see a thing I'm lying in my bed, I can't stop thinking It's driving me insane Never got to say goodbye It's still dark here And for the first time I feel alive But you're not here I'll live on and carry your name And be what you always thought I could be I hope we meet at the end But I'll never forgive the world for taking my best friend I can't see a thing I can't feel a thing

[@odd-andreloe5044]

I just lost my dad, and this just made me break down...

[@さあんおかた]

May he rest in peace!

[@testtickles8432]

same,

[@ZolFox]

I’m so sorry. My fiancé recently lost their father to a stroke...on Father’s Day. That was a real kick in the teeth. I just lost my best friend in the world on Monday to liver failure so I can empathize.

[@pobodyisnerfect1415]

Whitechapel has cleans, so what, this track is awesome.

[@xylophoneize]

Yeah, deathcore kids will be still bitching on everything.

[@VarsityBA94]

Still can’t put into words how much I love this song.

[@cryptorchiid]

This is why I love Whitechapel, I can relate to this on so many levels. My day was murdered 5 years ago and honestly the pain barely subsides but songs like this help to remind me that I'm not the only one going through shit like this.

[@scoutrosedeuce2843]

This is an amazing song. I love the clean vocals in it, but I hate all this douchebags in this comment section hating this song for having clean vocals. People whine too much there is nothing wrong for a band to change their style from time to time... just some people take it too personally. Keep it up Phil and the rest of Whitechapel! if their is any more songs with clean vocals I will surely be looking foward to them!

[@danielpolido6064]

Scout Rose Deuce I think the cleans fit really well with this song. I can deal with people who can say that they don't care for the cleans and just leave it there, but the ones who consistently bash the band for it need to just shut up and deal with it

[@hardrockenandgoodcookingwi7826]

Scout Rose Deuce some times cleans r needed for a sobg that has a deep meaning or connection with the singer in the band he wanted it to be an emotional song and one song here and there that has clean vocals in it is not a bad thing as long as they don't do it all the time but from time to time it is needed

[@lethinhphong]

Scout Rose Deuce GOD DAMN THE ELITIST ONES

[@skormm0117]

Lost my dad Dec. 29th 2019. This songs helped me so goddamn much. 3:20 gets me everytime

[@G-MaN---]

Sorry bout ur father thats a hard thing to get passed hope u did it tho it took me 10 yrs to get out the darkeness

[@ilovepizza38]

I really hope there are no negative opinions towards this song. Especially since it's supposed to mean so much to phil.

[@slipknotfan20061357]

I sit here 6 years after my fathers death and this song mirrors my feeling so perfectly that i cant stop to cry. No matter what kind of music style you prefer - this song is a perfect proof that you can put all your heart and feelings into a song and create a bond with people who experienced the same or similar things in life. I miss you dad, i hope we meet again some day

[@slumsesh1472]

Lost my dad when i was 18 back in 2017 for months i was just out of it.. still am at times but phil and his choice of words gets me but helps so much due to not having anyone to vent to about the pain that i can never put into words. Its a beautiful song with such a painful story.

[@tessienichole7283]

I fell in love with this song. Not only is it a great song, but it touches a lot of people. I lost my mom when I was 9 and now at the age of 29 I've lost my dad less than a year ago. This song hit me hard and connected directly to what I went through. Even at an older age. I didn't get to spend as much time with my mom, but my dad was my best friend and it devastated me and felt like it shattered my soul. Thank you so much for sharing your heart ache through a song that so many of us can connect with.

[@matthewcoronado2476]

“For taking my best friend” when I heard him say that I started crying and I could really relate to this cause I’ve been in dark places. So this song helps me through the tuff times. 😭😭

[@ritikeshsinghpaurus2964]

awsom clean vocs guitar solo and soft part of the band... like it a lot...

[@hannahanderson9117]

One of my favorites for sure. This has such deep meaning for me.

[@Brandon-r3t5d]

Amazing how someone can turn there pain into power thru music to let others like me know I'm not alone inside

[@YungBoiWetDream]

Pretext: Don't call me an elitist, I'll explain myself throughly. Just give me a second to do so is all I'm asking. First and foremost, Phil: you've been a vocal and lyrical inspiration to me for years. Back when I was 13, I went to a record store and bought This Is Exile without ever hearing of you guys, just because I thought the art was wicked and figured "eh, what the hell, right?" I grew up in a strict Christian household, but I've always been into hard rock, metal, really anything with a thrashy guitar part and some angry lyrics. But WOW, did that album shock me. I listened to that thing in entirety for almost 2 years straight, until I saw on iTunes that you guys were releasing a new album (my favorite of all your guys' work to date, I still get hyped as fuck to Devolver and Murder Sermon), "A New Era Of Corruption." Whoa. Kickass name, kickass album art, and the most kickass of bands. I had to have it. Then came you dropping your single "Section 8," which was RIDICULOUSLY brutal. The drum fills in that song are some of my favorite that you guys have ever put out. Self titled had its own moment in the spotlight, but it never had me like This Is Exile and ANEOC did. Mark of the Blade, in all due respect, I mean no harm guys. You know how to lay down a brutal fucking track, so I'm not picking on ya lol. It just sounded a little repetitive/mainstream, which isn't a bad thing all the time. I just miss the old age is what I'm getting at. PLEASE MAKE A SONG OR TWO FOR FANS LIKE ME, but I'll have love & support for this band no matter what direction you guys go, seeing that you're one of the main bands to get me into deathcore. Stay wicked, guys. \m/ P.S: Phil, if you ever read this, I'm sorry for your loss, man. My dad's been in and out of my life, so I never really had much of a worthwhile bond with him after I was maybe 10 or 11. While I can't say out situations are identical, I can say that we as the metal community are here to support you, brother. We all have our vices, but sometimes things are too heavy to conquer alone. Don't forget that. Much love, guy.

[@vertigo6085]

He and nor the members of Whitechapel owe you or anyone anything. What they decide to make lyrically and musically is all up to them, if they make throwback tracks great. But you shouldn't ever feel obligated to be given nor even ask for anything from them. They started out writing whatever they wanted, and making whatever they wanted. I doubt they'll change just because a handful of fans feel like they deserve it.

[@YungBoiWetDream]

Amity I'm not saying us fans "deserve" anything. That wasn't the point of the post: what I was saying is that I support the changes they're making, and that I simply miss their old style.

[@mannylugo5338]

i love this comment.

[@Hipno702]

Amity You missed the point of the comment It's not an obligation to the old fans forcing them to keep the same sound. It's a request to just acknowledge the people that were there from the beginning every once in a while

[@anthonyvega-fujioka4464]

What a rough life he had. Now I can see why some of Whitechapel's songs namely Digg's Road, Devolver, Breeding Violence, The Darkest Day of Man, Reprogrammed to Hate, Unnerving, Murder Sermon, Bring Me Home, and Animus are what they are. Those ones are the most powerful and most personal ones. Push on, Phil Bozeman.

[@mark7166]

Not gonna lie - I legit teared up at "I'll never forgive the world for taking my best friend."

[@blackcatgalaxy]

I had depression ever since I was 11 years old (it's inherited from my father), my mother died when I was 17 and this made my mental illness worse, tried unaliving myself but it didn't work, with support, I am in a better place now, I have two jobs and feel alive more than ever... but everytime I remember her, there is a stinging deep within me that just cannot be gone as years go by... I'm 24 years old and this song is just what I need, I love you, Whitechapel.

[@toasttoasted3492]

Bring Me Home Hickory Creek Orphan. Phil needs to sing more!! Absolutely beautiful

[@theutgardianchannel1952]

and this is how you do cleans, eddie.

[@antisepticeye9869]

TheUtgardian Channel HONESTLY.

[@whatdarylldid]

TheUtgardian Channel teehee!!

[@masteraxe9238]

TheUtgardian Channel LUL the new SS

[@murkyylurkss]

TheUtgardian Channel there it is! I was looking for this comment specifically XD

[@typhlosionsupremo9466]

nailed it

[@angelabordack]

Such a beautiful and atmospheric song.

[@generalizedkyle]

This is how you incorporate clean singing into deathcore. Not TEHEE

[@jyster18]

I like suicide silences new direction. Personally. But I've never ever heard Phil sing clean. So this is very shocking. But so good.

[@tripifi9303]

... less deathcore and more true death metal... but otherwise tru XD

[@sunforged1662]

jyster18 Wow, someone else who likes their new direction

[@jyster18]

Sunforged Is there a problem with my opinion?

[@sunforged1662]

jyster18 I'm saying that because I've never heard of anyone liking the new direction besides myself.

[@brendan_bradley]

if you would have told me in 2006 that a Whitechapel song would bring tears to my eyes I would have laughed at you. all the feels with this one.

[@mcw4525]

Today for my composition and rhetoric class our assignment was to do a paper on a niche band, not to insult what whitechapel is but I don’t think a lot of college age kids know about their music. I have been listening to them for years. I had a similar incident as a child which shook my whole family, I lost my father unexpectedly at the age of 6. It wasn’t until having to do this assignment that I really payed attention to the pain, the visuals, and the tone of this song, that I broke down crying in class. I’ve probably played this song a thousand times, never batting an eye, but today, something definitely hit a heart string. Thank you for the great music whitechapel, and most importantly Phil. My heart mourns for you, your father, and your mother.

[@sueyc1de]

The clean vocals in this isn't the pop kinda shit. it's fucking insane how good it is

[@JosephLSSimpson]

Phil - it took massive courage to confront this. You will see them both again, they love you more than ever, and they are proud of you.

[@alicesachertorte2539]

Big Corey Taylor vibes here, I love love love this. And the meaning... I lost my father when I was 15, and I probably haven't recovered fully yet. Thanks for this song. It's amazing.

[@Calibur43]

Genuinely one of the most emotive and soul-wrenching guitar solos ever written. Beautiful.
