WHITECHAPEL Unleashes 20 Years of Brutality on North American Tour
Kicking off a monumental celebration of two decades in the game, Knoxville's own WHITECHAPEL will embark on a North American headlining tour this fall. The tour, a testament to their unyielding presence in the death metal scene, will launch on November 11 in Atlanta, Georgia, and will storm through to December 18 in their home state of Tennessee. Expect a crushing lineup featuring deathcore juggernauts CHELSEA GRIN, the relentless THE ACACIA STRAIN, and rising death metal force NETHERWALKER.
Guitarist Alex Wade expressed the band's excitement, stating, "We are excited to announce our '20th Anniversary Tour' taking place this fall. It’s hard to believe we’ve made it 20 years after forming in 2006, and now we're set to deliver our largest headline tour ever. Joining us will be our friends who need no introduction, alongside the fierce newcomers NETHERWALKER. We’ll be performing tracks from our entire discography, ensuring no album is left behind. This will be our longest set in the biggest venues yet, so grab your tickets and don’t miss out!"
For the die-hard fans, WHITECHAPEL is offering limited artist presale tickets and VIP packages through Sound Rink starting June 9 at 2:00 p.m. local time. These exclusive packages include general admission, meet-and-greet opportunities with the band, early venue entry, and a treasure trove of VIP-only items—think WHITECHAPEL foam hands, signed posters, and a VIP laminate to flaunt your allegiance. General sales kick off on June 12 at 10:00 a.m., so mark your calendars.
The tour dates promise to be an unforgettable onslaught, with stops across major cities including New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, culminating in a homecoming show at The Caverns in Pelham, TN. WHITECHAPEL has meticulously crafted their setlist to encompass their entire journey, ensuring fans experience the raw energy and evolution of their sound.
Following their latest album, "Hymns In Dissonance," released in March 2025 via Metal Blade Records, the band has proven they are not merely resting on their laurels. Critics hailed the album as an aggressive, ground-breaking effort, with MetalSucks proclaiming it one of their heaviest since the iconic "The Somatic Defilement." As they prepare to unleash their legacy live, fans can expect an auditory assault that captures the essence of WHITECHAPEL—intense, relentless, and unapologetically brutal.
