Awhile back, when I posted the last WC playthrough from 'KIN', I said something along the lines of "This is the last 'Chapel playthrough I'll be posting". WELL, I was wrong, because I recently found a few other songs that I (apparently) recorded videos for (LOL). I genuinely forgot that I had done them, & when searching through one of my many hard drives for something totally unrelated, I stumbled upon them totally finished, just sitting there . So here's "MAKE IT BLEED" from their SelfTitled album!

Upon finding this one, I remembered that part of the reason I never posted it was because I didn't reeeeeally love how it turned out. I don't think it's bad, but idk... I guess I just felt that I could've done it better, & planned on redoing it at some point. However, now that I'm not involved with them anymore, I have no intention of redoing it, so figured hey what the heck! This song in particular was a fun one to play live (at least, considering it was on the 'faster' end of things, which usually stresses me out). But even with the speedy parts, I still always enjoyed it. Especially the ending I really like that last drum break into the thrash beat, & that whole outro section. I was a big fan of the SelfTitled album in general (hence my VERY old cover of 'Section 8' a song I covered many years before actually playing with them), so I think I just enjoyed playing their material from that era altogether.

I also saw the tour announcement recently with Whitechapel supporting Meshuggah I know first hand how much those guys love Meshuggah, so I know how much that tour must mean to them, & how stoked they must be. Happy & stoked for them, too (truly!). Make sure to go check them out, I've no doubts it'll be an incredible show.

Anywayz I hope you will enjoy this lil' THROWBACK! Got a couple newer videos to post as well, but figured I'd throw this one up first.

Oh &, I believe this was mixed for me by Simon Grove! When I stumbled upon it again recently, I couldn't quite remember, but thought "Hmm... doesn't sound like a Declan mix, Anup mix, OR Nolly mix...". Searched my email just to double check, & sure enough mixed by Simon Grove! So thanks, dude! Bit late posting, but hey better late than never! LOL!

All the shell mics were mounted internally (which you can see in the above angle). That's how Cagle (WC's FoH engineer) did things when I was with them, & since there wasn't too long until the next tour, he let me leave them in / temporarily take them home with me. Slightly different sound, but it's quite nice (!) to not have the mic on the outside! Might have to try it again at some point.
