His growth as a vocalist since their debut is impressive, yet the quality on this version done by the band’s recent producer Mark Lewis questions whether or not his tracks were re-recorded or if he was truly underappreciated (and grossly overlooked) with the original mix. The improvement in the final production quality is dually noted by vocalist Phil Bozeman’s original performance versus this updated version. The clarity and production allow for a greater appreciation of the original performances, notably on the guitars, whose three players were easily lost on the original debut’s muddiness. What’s notable about the re-release is the sound quality. Originally released via Candlelight Records in 2007, the album’s 2013 re-release through Metal Blade helped Whitechapel introduce the record to a new set of eardrums, pleasing longtime fans with a re-mastered, re-mixed version of their debut. Four albums in, and their status has changed drastically, for the best, since the release of their debut, The Somatic Defilement. Tennessee’s Whitechapel have become a prominent feature in the death metal community in the last few years.
