🎵 Whitechapel When A Demon Defiles a Witch Reaction | We’re Lost in the Dark 😦

[@trippstephens6934]

BRUUUUUUH!.....y’all jumped like 25 steps down the metal hole! My eyes turned the size of silver dollars when I saw this song in the notification... Y’all ain’t playin’, jumping straight to DEATHCORE!......SHEEEEAHT! 😈🤘🏻⚜️🤣

[@zachwhite5196]

Right? That’s quite the jump from Korn & Slipknot

We need to get a playlist together to guide us lol we’re just picking and choosing what sounds interesting from the suggestions!! 🥶 I’m thinking to prevail next

I was thinking the same thing

[@zachwhite5196]

Slaughter to Prevail or I prevail?😂

[@davidhass5602]

The song is about Phil’s, the vocalist, mother. His mother suffered from Schizophrenia, drug addiction, and alcoholism. She died when he was a teenager. She would see a demon outside and she knew that if she saw it there, then it would be by her bedside that night. She would write cryptic journals and her handwriting would change. The song title came from one of the journals.

[@4W0RD5]

That kinda shit scares the crap outta me. I can't even imagine experiencing that kind of thing

[@hinder_epoch4440]

My mom went through something similar. It's a hell I wouldn't wish on anyone

[@matanuskabutler7566]

I haven't actually checked myself, but I heard recently that she had been diagnosed with DID and had, i think it was, 39 different personalities and "When a demon defiles a witch" was something she had written inside her journal

[@xmaggot92x]

@@matanuskabutler7566 Thats Correct, in her Journal it says ''When a demon rapes a witch''

[@Mikeyprs21]

As I understand it, phil's mother had multiple personality disorder hence why the writing would change depending on the personality.

[@Regin333]

Whoa whoa I wouldn’t have showed you guys whitechapel so early into your metal journey but props for being open minded🤘🏾😂

[@romanteni]

Wow who did this... That's pure evil... They are not prepared.... Literally....

Next will be Infant Annihilator. 😂

[@jordank2028]

Imagine older whitechapel, even more brutal especially lyrically.

[@crawldaddy7]

They opened the can of korn with daddy then asked for more so yeah think they can handle jumping in head first

[@HotRodz]

The singers mom was an addict she suffered from severe schizophrenia and had several multiple personality disorders, and would see several demons the old guy in the video was her number one demon. This album touches on the life of his mother and her issues. Watch Hickory Creek next.

[@jessejohnson3418]

The lyrics are from the diary of the singers mom.. forget what she had exactly but she was either bipolar or schizophrenic, and was also an addict.. she died when he was 15 Should also check out Bring me home (song dedicated to his dad who died when he was 10) And hickory creek (song dedicated to his mom)

[@jordank2028]

Phil is one of the few vocalists so brutal but understandable at the same time.

[@trippstephens6934]

Lmao! Ya’ll’s faces!..🤣🤣 whomever requested this is a troll. Lol this genre takes a lot of ear training and time to acquire a taste for it.

You should check out Hickory Creek by Whitechapel, it's from the same album but is COMPLETELY different

My eyes lit up when I saw this notification! Definitely a big jump but I think its so cool how open minded you guys are. I'd love to see your reaction to Nonpoint - Chaos and Earthquakes!

[@ultratality]

Wow whitechapel already holy shit. You guys are just going with whatever in metal. Well you guys are underground now 😂. Metal can be dark but does it talk bout real issues ppl are going through just keep the open mindset. Cuz even the hardest stuff have lyrics that can touch ppl and save lives.

[@donchaffins1313]

I am proud of you both for keeping an open mind to this style, it is not for everyone but to see you both catching the groove was great.

Yes

[@TheJokesterSCR]

Not the live version. Just do the studio version. They're AMAZING live. I've performed on the same show with them 3 times and it's awesome. But live shows can never capture the pure brilliance and emotion of the studio version. Especially if you're not there in person. The live audio never does it justice.

[@xen2894]

i love you guys so much. i recommend Signs of the Swarm- Cesspool of Ignorance

First vid I have ever seen of you guys reacting to anything beyond thrash. Nice, keep going heavier.

[@DILLBAG5150]

The album that this song is from the valley. Most of the lyrics come form the lead singers deceased mom‘s diary mixed with some of his own thoughts and feelings. The whole album is his and his mothers story based off her diary entries. You need to listen to the whole album to get the full story it’s a great album

[@Mikeyprs21]

I appreciate that ya'll had the balls to step into the metal world with such a heavy hitter in Whitechapel, god damn. Fair to ya'll! I look forward to seeing who you check out next.

[@SpecklebellyHQ]

This Metal ride will be fun. great choice. jump into Infant Annilihator. so much fun. hahaha

[@TheDarkangelazrael]

You really need to scope out Whitechapel "Hickory Creek". AMAZING. And yes this song is about his mother. She suffered schizophrenia. Hickory Creek also speaks on her, but is far more palatable off the jump. These lyrics are almost straight out of the singer's mother's journal. She literally believed she was a witch fighting against the powers of evil.

[@breezytree9138]

oh you doing this band now lol this is the first band to legit give me anxiety lol.

[@bmwkid1993]

I'm impressed with how you guys picked up on the meaning of the song without any research into it. Whitechapel has some of the most honest and vulnerable songs about loss, addiction, depression etc. "Bring Me Home" is another great one about the loss of Phil's father, and "Hickory Creek" is about losing both his parents at a very young age, and his path to getting closure from that. Great writing, clear vocals, and his clean vocals are a nice treat to hear from time to time.

[@kiri9274]

I am a metal fan at heart and am so excited to see you here doing these kinds of bands now. but to keep an open mind for all kinds of music I think you guys might enjoy the visual art of Billie Eilish. some of her stuff from a couple years ago is visually exciting and makes you think. Try these 3 by Billie if you want to go that direction: When the Party's Over, You Should See Me In a Crown, and Bury a Friend

[@businesscatlimbo]

This song is about the lead singers (Phil Bozeman) mom. She had many mental illnesses, like schizophrenia, drug abuse, many multiple personalities, etc. It's also based off her journal, where she would write about a demon she would see by her fireside. The band reported that in the journal is said, if she saw the demon, it would then be by her bed, hence the lyrics: "The demons dance by the fireside . But tonight they migrate to my bedside." It was also said that her handwriting would change constantly. The demon itself was named "Mycar" and would essentially r*pe her while using the physical appearance of Bozeman's father (or stepfather, its one of the two). This song and the album as a whole are both incredibly emotional and go through things that Bozeman has experienced.

[@michaelcrump3110]

Y'all should do some Pantera: "Cemetery Gates" "Cowboys From Hell". Alice in Chains: "Nutshell" and down in a hole". I also noticed y'all did Upchurch Die tonight. IDK how old y'all are, but you should also try Tupac "Hit em up". That's the OG don't eff with me, I'll kill you all, song. Lol

[@lisajohnson521]

Phil! One of the best to ever do it!!!!

[@stephaneficara4501]

Hi guys! You two are really cool to watch discovering music :) I'd have two suggestions, one to go heavier and one lighter : for the lighter one, you should ear Julie Christmas. She's freaking amazing vocally. IMO the best video to see that is "Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas - Mariner - Live at De Kreun" with timecode 17,25, to see the song "The Wreck of S.S. Needle" live. By freaking far my #1 female singer for creativity, passion and psycho delivering. That's really a hidden gem. For the heavier one, go with Frontierer - Molten Larva. Not so growly, but hell... heavy. Oh, and bonus : for lyrics : Counterparts - Solace. The feelings are strongs with this one.

[@toddjoseph1tj]

YOU TWO CRACK ME UP😂😂😂

[@theninedivides6851]

Whitechapel! Shout out to Northeast Tennessee these guys changed deathcore forever

[@TheJokesterSCR]

You weren't very far off at all. He IS speaking from his mother's perspective. The lyrics were taken from writings in her journal. She was schizophrenic and addicted to drugs and alcohol. These were the things she would write about, seeing a demon and whatnot. Very cryptic. I believe she died when Phil, the vocalist, was only 15.

[@terrancecaad932]

Vocalist’s mom had recently died prior to them making this album. I believe it had something to do with that. There’s a few songs on that album with that in mind

[@mattboselli1099]

Great reaction. Again metal heads in the makeing!!

[@HighSocietyDrumLabs]

They are definitely an interesting death core band. Definitely intense. My favorite in this sub-genre of metal is Black Dahlia Murder, you should check them out. A great song would be Necropolis or Everblack

[@TheJokesterSCR]

TBDM is not deathcore, though. They're melodic death metal.

[@HighSocietyDrumLabs]

@@TheJokesterSCR I would consider a band like Death melodic death metal, or Obscura. Perhaps BDM would fall into that camp too, that's the hard thing about the sub-genres, there's some bands that are very hard to put a label on that's succinct. Especially their older albums had a metal core feel to them. Terrible Night for Curse etc. We played with them a few times, great dudes.

[@TheJokesterSCR]

@@HighSocietyDrumLabs They're basically the ONE band that I haven't been able to perform a show with that I've always wanted to. Check out my band, Darker By Design. We're our own thing, but you can definitely hear the Dahlia influence. We just released our debut full-length album this past Valentine's Day, and it's called Necrolatry. We have quite a few tracks on youtube and all major platforms. I really hope you dig it! I have a feeling you just might. I promise it's not some lame teenager garage band that sounds like it's recorded on a potato, LOL! Let me know if you check it out. But yeah the sub-genre thing can get really crazy. So we just call our genre Funeral Death Metal.

The lead singers mom was schizophrenic and had 37 different personalities that even changed her writing styles and verbiage and this entire album is based off her personal writings from her journals such an amazing album I suggest hickory creek or without you/without us videos next

[@davidward9737]

We as people, need to stop. My black brother yes he is black and not African will piss him off. From the Virgin Islands. I dont think many virgins live there. Anyways im a white boy from the south, I get judged because people stereotype me. My family adopted my bro...so much for the stereotype. The greatest thing in the 90s was I got to listen to Tupac and my brother listened to Korn. Totally different ends of the spectrum, always respect.. I hope this generation doesn't see black or white, but as a whole. Multicultural where love is the most important thing.

[@jinjerjunkie]

I would like to recommend a new band call Monochromatic Black and their song Phosphenes. Their sound is kinda like Whitechapel meets Jinjer.

[@lancekincaid25]

This song is about his moms journals she would write. The song "hickory creek" is about her and when she died when the lead singer was 15

[@Mrs.Frankenstein]

You have officially been Chapeltized!!

[@snowflakeincinerator8910]

Yea I was very surprised to see something as heavy as white chapel so early

[@basher3863]

This song is about his stepdad(demon) getting his schizophrenic mother ( witch) hooked on drugs which lead to her committing suicide

[@j.j.6327]

Not a bad song. If you do more by Whitechapel I’d try either “hickory creek” which is a much more accessible song. Or my personal favorite “Diggs Road” which I feel really shows them spreading their wings and what they are capable of.

[@marcelhradil5353]

Hey whatssssuuup. This song is about the Singers mother. She had schizophrenia and multiplex personalities. Her journals she had wrote are in this song. It is about what she felt like. She knew that the demon (or satan

One of the craziest mosh pits I've ever been in...

[@Amarth13]

She was also diagnosed with 34 different personalities. She would see the demon often and named him Mycar in her journal and he would attack her in her bed which is where the song title comes from. She did die from an overdose in 2000 or 2001, just met the wrong person that got her hooked on drugs.

[@jordancollett7394]

Tennessee metal 🤘🤘 love my hometown boys

[@grinchgunner99]

It’s about his mom. She was a drug addict and a schizophrenic. She used sit by the fire pit with the lead vocalist and his siblings and she used to know the demon would visit her that night if she saw him at the fire pit. The whole album is about his mom and her journal entries.

The confusion between schizophrenia and DID is a little frustrating. Schizophrenia is where you usually hear things that aren’t there and in usually rare cases see things. Dissociative identity disorder or what used to be called multiple personality disorder is totally different. You have different personalities that all reside within the same person and they generally are not aware of each other but they will have even different hand writing.
