Sept. 14 — Whitechapel debuted the video for the latest and last single from its 2021 album, Kin this week.
The band premiered the video for its two-part single, ‘Without You/Without Us‘ Wednesday. According to front man Phil Bozeman the song and video are the last from the album. It came more than five months after the band debuted its then latest single, ‘I Will Find You.’
‘Without You/Without Us’ is a continuation and closure from ‘I Will Find You’ in regard to its story. Bozeman explained in a prepared statement when that single and video premiered, “I am being followed by my alternate reality/evil self. “It’s the part of me that can’t let go and will go to any heights to find the real me and pull me back into the dark past that I want to move on from.”
In the case of ‘Without You/Without Us’ Bozeman takes on that evil self and ultimately defeats it, overcoming those negative thoughts and feelings. The juxtaposition of the Tool-esque verses and the much heavier choruses in the song’s arrangement makes the simple video presentation so much more powerful, proving that less truly can be more.
‘Without You/Without Us’ is the fifth single from Kin. Along with the aforementioned ‘I Will Find You’ the album has also produced the singles, ‘Anticure,’ ‘A Bloodsoaked Symphony,‘ and ‘Lost Boy.’
In other news, Whitechapel has announces an extensive series of tour dates that will take the group through the year’s end. The tour includes a performance next week at the annual Louder Than Life Festival, a run with Meshuggah and In Flames in November and December, a separate run with Thy Art Is Murder, Fit For An Autopsy, Spite and Godlike later this month and October, and a holiday show Dec. 22 in Knoxville, TN.
