Whitechapel - Hickory Creek - REACTION

[@richardsinclair7661]

Glad you guys didn't immediately tear this to shreds just because it's not typical Whitechapel. While I don't deny this is super accessible, it's still a damn good song. Phil's cleans are fantastic, and while the instrumentation is definitely a derivative of radio hard-rock, I still enjoy it. Overall, I think the emotions conveyed in this song far outweigh any negative traits associated with it. I'd rather this than generic deathcore any day of the week.

[@richardsinclair7661]

@Veronica Moody Oh, don't get me wrong. I love it too. I just don't like the repetitive, "chugchugchug" style of deathcore that a lot of bands play nowadays.

[@xtexaschainsawx]

@@richardsinclair7661 I agree

[@mementomori2839]

@Veronica Moody Not all of it. Take it from a deathcore fan of a decade and a half, alot of the shit is copy and paste

[@JEsterCW]

@@richardsinclair7661 That's why i most of time listen to oldschool deathcore or bands or projects like Desolate Blight, cause it's not "chuggy shit" over and over again...

[@thefilmeffect6089]

I don't mind the cleans, but I think the best is yet to come for Whitechapel. I found most of The Valley very boring. When A Demon Defiles A Witch was fantastic, but the rest of the album was nowhere near as good. It's a very different sound for the band, but I've heard this sound before and done much better. I'm more excited for their next album because I'm ready for them to fully embrace this change and really start trying new things.

WOOOOOO hell yeah thank you for reviewing this. I was blown away by that video and I've been listening to the song nonstop

[@samanthaspeaks4206]

This is the softest song on the album. Forgiveness is weakness is the heaviness people are use to. This album is fantastic i love it so much ❤😎

[@letsgoducks813]

Sea of trees the bonus track tops the album on heaviness

[@kimlayman4742]

Wow! Powerful song and video from Whitechapel! It made me cry. You can really hear his emotion in this. Their lyrics are always so well written. Phil's vocal range is amazing. The video really compliments the lyrics and his voice just adds to the atmosphere of the video. It's incredibly sad what Phil and so many others have gone through, in losing a mother,and other loved ones through drug addiction. Have always loved their music. And I can't wait to get the new album. 3 songs we have gotten from it,and it's amazing. Great reaction as always. Looking forward to when the album is released and you do a review to it. 🤘🤘

[@TwoToeTags]

We couldn't agree more! This song definitely tugs at the feels and it is executed perfectly both instrumentally and vocally. A total package! The new album is shaping up to be fire!

[@xtexaschainsawx]

🤘🤘🤘

[@nickicollis593]

Rip Phil Bozeman mother! It's so sad

[@dakotapitre5561]

This album is by far one of the best albums I’ve heard from them, Phil is so damn talented and one of the greatest ever, I knew he could scream and growl but to be able to sing like that, just all I can saw is wow

[@Tjenias4]

Cograts to the 10k guys! Well deserved :)

[@TwoToeTags]

Many thanks Jan! We work hard and we appreciate yours and everyone else's continued support!

[@KoRn_NuTT]

Yes sirs, I absolutely love the versatility these guys are growing into, can't wait for the album to come out!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Metalfan8638]

IKR all I’ve been hearing is how people don’t like Phil singing but I like it he has an amazing voice. I can’t wait for the album too 🤘🤘🤘

[@thekill2044]

Beautiful song and video

[@mattjones6450]

I. Cant. Wait. For. This. Ill be the first to admit Im not a huge fan of their older stuff, but I love these new songs. Have it pre-ordered on vinyl and Ive been seeing some people getting theirs early, so it would be nice to come home from school to the new Whitechapel album at some point this week haha

[@TwoToeTags]

If you have a nice sound system this album is probably going to be ear melting amazing on vinyl. Be sure to pop back when we do our First Impressions and give us your thoughts on the album in the comments section!

[@mattjones6450]

TwoToeTags Metal Reviews Yea for sure! Im hyped for it

[@naysaya2935]

Love this song and the music video. The full album is out now and I think It's sick! Especially love the final song on the record "Doom Woods" great video!

[@anthonyvega-fujioka4464]

Phil Bozeman went through hell when he was a child and as a teenager, and now look where he is.

[@kamiraanddie12394]

Please react to Acrania - Exterminate the Liberated. Whitechapel has been doing amazing albums since the beginning. I've loved every album.

[@nickicollis593]

I can't wait for the new album

[@frankmec23]

Great work guys!

[@TwoToeTags]

Thanks Frank!

[@MoSweiti666]

The album is coming this Friday! Please review it, guys!!!

[@TwoToeTags]

Definitely!

[@devilman444a]

i didnt like their first few songs they released but damn im in love with the previous one you guys reviewed and this song. i hope they stick with this direction because im personally done with deathcore shit but this shit is refreshing and just good song.

[@TwoToeTags]

Refreshing is a great way to put it.

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

You guys should review the new While She Sleeps album.

[@wimex9062]

Hey there. Could you please react to Eluveitie - Ategnatos?

[@TwoToeTags]

Probably not since we just did a reaction for Ambiramus. We might be reviewing the new album when it comes out though so be on the lookout for that!

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

More importantly, react to that new Dance Gavin Dance video!

[@ctrlblahq5631]

go to react bring me home - whitechapel pls

[@nickicollis593]

Whitechapel > slipknot?

[@TwoToeTags]

If we're comparing the bands as a whole then Slipknot > Whitechapel however if you compare 'When a Demon Defiles a Witch' + 'Hickory Creek' vs 'All Out Life' we would probably say that Whitechapel has put out better singles so far this year.

[@kurtiskirk8420]

Ghost😂😂😂😂. Not even gonna listen to what you have to say.

[@MetalRob81]

I thought this song was utterly boring and emotionless. The video was powerful indeed, but I felt nothing from the melody or delivery. Just my opinion of course. This is also coming from someone who loves a powerful song!

[@TwoToeTags]

Generally you tend to agree with us, Rob. However this time it seems you have the minority opinion on this one.. which is fine of course. Sometimes tracks resonate with people and sometimes they don't. We're willing to bet that if you listen to it a few more times, especially with the rest of the album, it will grow on you.

[@MetalRob81]

@@TwoToeTagsI will def come back to it, so we shall see.

[@chvrles6]

It’s been 5 years, where do you stand now?
