Whitechapel - 2012 studio update: guitar tracking

[@BenEller]

Ha! At 3:08, that is literally MY Warwick thumb 5! Cool :)

[@deathsex19]

love watching guitars being tracked.. love whitechapel.. love this album!!

[@MWVMusic]

Alex's picking is so incredible clear.

[@pametalfan95]

The riffs on this album are gonna be so badass \m/

[@grazianism]

Hi Chris, this new album is completely recorded in drop G :)

[@jakers1001]

They've never used A standard; First two album were only in drop A, third album was mostly in drop A with moments where an 8 string tuned to drop E was used, and on this record most songs are in drop G, a few in drop A and Hate Creation in B standard :)

[@th3m1ke]

Directly in using the Kemper. The profile was a Peavey 5150 II using a ESP LTD Alex Wade-7 signature.

[@glenn2376]

2:00 kills me every time, he even couldn't play it perfectly all the way through.

[@xMrWalkwayx]

How do you know if they don't have talent? Have you ever seen the peak of their guitar playing and what they can play? Arpeggios. Sweeps. More. The fact that Kevin Lane, the drummer, managed to write such complex drum lines in these songs shows the amount of talent that he has, and have you seen Phil Bozeman do vocal tracking? Don't even get me started on that.

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

Those Dimarzio pickups sound amazing. Best guitar tone on any Whitechapel album \m/

[@Mrmadjock92]

What's the little clip on the treble strings on the guitars for? Is that just to stop them from ringing whilst they're playing?

[@CallahansPerformanceBowling]

CAN'T EFFIN' WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mastermamajama]

I'm glad their upping their guitar work

[@danielherbert2671]

I so miss this.

[@EM_Studios]

god this sounds heavy as hell and I really like the new sound!

[@DoomShine117]

that backpicking on make it bleed is sooooo good!

[@DustieWaggoner]

@3:50 dat tone doh

[@wileyhxc]

impressed and like what i hear from this.

[@jakers1001]

Not just a couple of songs, a majority of the album Alex said :)

[@viciousheroics8623]

I cant fuckin wait until the Vocals studio update !

[@dmastroianni33]

Yep! June 19th 2012

[@쏭프a]

1:24 ~ Song name is 'Section 8'

[@liarfacestudio]

"Dead Silence", the 7th track of the album. Also, it's one of my favorite song \m/

[@GarrettLoganGriffin]

Best metal band out there right now.

[@pariahthe]

best album of the year

[@mandalorian29]

Yup!

[@Below_This]

Man these guys got more talent in there toe than you do in your whole body.

[@imnicksadler]

Its all about getting the right sound, sometimes guitarists use 3 different guitars just to record the parts of one song

[@SamMeeDee]

kemper profiler, knew id see it in studios eventually. that thing can replace a warehouse full of amps.

[@surreptitiouswritings]

its incredible that bands with such little talent as this reach high levels of success. then again I suppose it isn't, most of you haven't heard real music a day in your lives.

[@iRaiseTheDead]

I love how you all are using Alex's custom \m/

[@AWRdave]

yeah. sometimes when you're in the studio, you'll have a part that you can't play without getting a little buzz from the higher strings. it's hard to hear live, but on recording it's totally unwanted, so they tape the strings down to prevent it.

[@th3m1ke]

Yeah check it out. I play an AxeFX II - but the Kemper is still a cool piece of gear. It's technically just a preamp so you can use it live, not just for recording :)

[@vppark2]

of course i am. def preordering this. the basic package comes with fucking shot glasses and a bottle opener...how can i not b stoked!

[@skycaptain141]

Mark Lewis is everywhere.

[@BeyondtheEndMetal]

it is going to be on the full length, they released their tracklist...and it would be weird having it mixed differently than all the other songs..my guess is is that they didn't want to write another song so they recycled it from the EP.

[@yomomasface]

Can't fucking wait!!!

[@bladelazoe]

Yea I noticed, but I think the one before Ben is Zach playing "The Night Remains"

[@proggod876]

oh cool, the drop G songs sound badass

[@Wulfeylol]

I'm really curious to see what the acoustic guitar will be used for. O.o

[@MrMetalfan123456789]

this album is going to be brutal!!!!

[@PsboyX360]

Good stuffs!

[@PotAndPeace420]

Can't fucking wait to see these dudes on July 15th at Mayhem!!!! FUCK YEA

[@Calibur43]

Sweet thanks.

[@PeanutButterGtr]

That's the same guy that did "Shattering the Skies Above" for Trivium.

[@RainbowGravity92]

That'd be cool if it was. Haha. It's the three TN stars. I guess they finally decided to show some pride in their home state (They're from Knoxville, TN if you didn't know that already, if you did awesome). I'm also from Tennessee and I kind of freaked out, in a good way, when I saw the state stars on the current EP. Can't wait for the new album!

[@themisfit666]

my bros r from "salavtion's lost" and i fuckin luv this shit big time! big time fan

[@MrJohnnyPetey]

You make a fair point.

[@DOOMKOALA91]

GOOD!

[@xBOMBx1000]

It's D-Activators, in an LTD AW-7

[@moshfreak247]

Love hows he's playing Hate Creation just by moving his fingers .-.

[@RandyMassia]

alex's picking hand is fucking jacked. ridiculously controlled.

[@metal882]

Honestly Guitars any kind Electric, bass, acoustic etc... Greatest inventions ever lol I wish I had musical talent

[@pivetlord13]

did gabe not record bass on the album?

[@Calibur43]

What's the recording setup for the guitars here? Are they like direct-in to an AxeFX, or a combo amp to a board? What's going on?

[@SWERVNKOLIDE]

Try an alligator clip from the bridge to the input jack on that bass!

[@MrJohnnyPetey]

Why doesn't Gabe play bass in any of these update videos?

[@VincenzoHardcrew]

BEST DEATHCORE BAND ... OFC!

[@jakers1001]

This is his first time actually recording for Whitechapel lol :P

[@StricklandAssistantManager]

2:55 what is that thing? It's the second/third time I've seen one but I don't know what it is.

[@ryanbentley9177]

e bow?

[@jakeloopy101]

see you boys tomorrow

[@MaxHazardous]

I am still lost about the issue with the bass. Whats the guitar string taped to the bass used for?

[@TheRealApricat]

They were getting grounding hum, so that pretty much kept the bass grounded all the time

[@Calibur43]

Alright, I did not know that, I've been playing extensively for about 5 years without paying much attention to recording equipment, I figure when the time comes I will start to familiarize myself.

[@kieranhymas2662]

Oh yeah! It's a great song, my favourite off the album is 'Dead Silence' though .. the intro is just killer.

[@ibanezRG93]

HOLY BALLS

[@Blood_fog]

no, this is their new album.

[@SeanAttardMetal]

DiMarzio D-Activators :P

[@LLSSPoet]

Hope its good

[@ohmygoodurmomisabitc]

where is the bass??? uploading some with that!

[@Haitiu666]

Can someone explain to me why do he tape a guitar string to the bass? I'm french and i can't understand what he says on the video. Thank you!

[@kieranhymas2662]

The one Ben is playing is the start of 'Make It Bleed'

[@jsimms52]

Maybe it'll be an interlude which will then lead into NOTHING BUT CHAOS or put at the end of the final track?

[@riceboxsupreme]

Is this album out yet?

[@THEKNEEGROWBEATER]

the sawblad has been there logo since "exile" i beleive

[@RedPigeonMetal]

Yeah, They're re-doing Section 8 on this album.

[@hevny]

Sounds like they are going more towards death metal. I like it... And that guitar - NEED TO GET!

[@Lgmetl123]

they already released that song.

[@mandalorian29]

Google - Esp guitars - Guitars - Artists - Alex Wade - There you go

[@Litzeraque97]

so section 8 will be on the album

[@orangepapya]

wait....1:41. what song is that?????? are they re-doing one of their older ones?

[@apoapsis1001]

is ben recording the bass tracks aswell?

[@patrick121295]

Is Gabe not in the group anymore...?

[@MroticioRipMMGH]

What is that thing they have in the last strings?? 1:12

[@timolszowy]

Are they using the Kemper to record or AxeFX?

[@zieglurski]

Goddamn it. another album i'm going to have to pre-order. This addiction is going to make me go broke.

[@PeanutButterGtr]

That's an LTD AW-7. That's Alex's signature model.

[@demonwing15]

what's the name of the song at the end of the video?!

[@쏭프a]

song name is 'Hate creation', acoustic part is 'Make it bleed'.

[@KEVINheartsMETAL]

What is the blue thing Ben is using at 2:46. WTF is that light

[@fatherera]

whats the song recorded in this video?

[@iliketoscream8487]

yes. That is drop G.

[@AsAugustSleeps]

What was that thing he was using at 2:47?

[@HiramEscandon]

is the same producer from STSA from trivium

[@chessmastir]

4:09 Hey, I have that acoustic!

[@eudardogutierrez5682]

is Hate Creation, the same song of the beginning

[@11strongbob]

How did you get the album already?

[@McDouchebag22]

1:15 does he have the first and second string taped down?

[@proggod876]

there are a couple of songs in drop G, and i believe "hate creation" is in drop B or sumtin

[@Roran109]

The acoustic was really buzzy... did they really track with that?

[@stevenarm]

@esther carrasco. Nevermind. You are 100% correct. My apologies.
