Whitechapel

Whitechapel was formed in February 2006 by Phil Bozeman, Brandon Cagle, and Ben Savage. They were soon joined by Alex Wade (formerly of Redwinterdying, like later Whitechapel guitarist Zach Householder), Gabe Crisp, and Derek Martin, and recorded their first demos in March of that year. They named themselves after the area of London known as Whitechapel, the location of the Jack the Ripper murders. In 2007 the band signed to Siege of Amida Records in the U.K. and Candlelight Records in North America, who jointly released their debut full-length with new drummer Kevin Lane, The Somatic Defilement, in June of that year. In October 2007, the group signed to Metal Blade, and released a new album in 2008, This Is Exile. The album reached #118 in the Billboard Top 200. In May 2008, they were on The Summer Slaughter Tour, and in August 2008, they began their first ever headlining tour with Impending Doom, A Different Breed of Killer, and Through the Eyes of the Dead.
