In my opinion, this is peak Whitechapel. Absolutely outstanding album, Phill did an amazing job showcasing his clean vocals throughout the album. Instrumentally, its absolutely solid and packed full of emotion, i wish the album was just a tad longer. No complaints here, can't wait to see this stuff live!!

Masterpiece, so good that it makes The Valley even better. I view them as part 1 and 2, you need them both to get the full story.

This album is in my opinion Whitechapel's greatest achievement. I've followed the band since the self-titled and listened to each of their albums many times, especially the Valley and A New Era of Corruption, but this and The Valley hit differently. Kin is a breathtaking, melancholic journey with so much diversity that keeps me moving. It's a rollercoaster of emotions and beauty. Within the darkness and melancholy in this record, there's that positive, shining light of hope, strength of will and passion. This is a genuine, unique experience. Whitechapel have evolved beyond the norms of the genre and created their own formula. This is the result of a decade of experimentation and progression. Congratulations on this achievement, Whitechapel and anyone involved in the creation of this masterpiece. 10/10 from me.

Been listening to this band for over 10 years now. And the evolution of their music feels like the most natural progression of almost any band. They're not forcing themselves to either maintain their old school sound nor does it feel like they're selling out with the clean singing. They were able to go with the flow as they've aged but also maintained sticking to their roots. Truly masterful artists as a band. 🤘🖤🤘

The Valley was the album that made me a fan of Whitechapel, Kin is the album that solidifies that.

All the families that live in the valley listening to this masterpiece 💙

That Era of this band is so good. They show more of their ability to write amazing songs. No genres. Nothing matters if it's good it's good music. Amazing work.

For me personally what makes this album is how to they use solos to build emotion. this album has such well placed solos

I lost my brother last year in January and hearing Kin just made me bawl my fucking eyes out. I never in the 10 years that I’ve been listening to them would ever think they’d make me cry. This was beautiful in so many ways. Thank you boys, whitechapel was also one of my little brothers favorite bands, he would have loved this so much.

Anticure is an absolute MASTERPIECE. Truly amazing. Whitechapel evolved so much, and you can hear Phil healing through the lyrics and singing from all of his past traumas. thank you for sharing with us all those deep stuff and allowing us to understand about your past, while creating art at the same time.

I'm getting major chills from listening to Kin and the Valley. These two albums are something else...

I Will Find You fucking gutted me on the first listen. This band has matured in such a pleasant way. What an incredible album all the way through.

Awards 🎉 Album of the Year: KIN. Best Metal Vocalist: Phil Bozeman. Congrats fellas for this beautiful masterpiece 👏🏻👏🏻

Lost my Mother on October 13th 2021...worst days of my life. I was/still am a mess ,emotional roller-coaster,. Before her death I was listening to how a demon defiles a witch a lot since i know she was suffering and she was fighting her illness but she could not win the fight. Since this album came out, im kind of listening to it non stop and trying to heal knowing that im not alone in this situation.! Thank you for your music, i will cherish it with all my hear! May we have happier days in our future!

I'm a fellow Tennessean and metal musician and been a fan since the somatic defilement in 2007 and been to many shows throughout the years. Just wanted to put out there that this album blew me away and after just two listen throughs, is my favorite Whitechapel album. I could go on and on about the incredible guitar and bass tones and mix and the drums and the writing but I'll just say I got to listen to the album beginning to end on a beautiful autumn day drive through east Tennessee and was blown away. Absolutely incredible work men.

These guys are at the top of their game! Solid chemistry.

I’m an old school metal guy, I’ve loved these guys for a long time . But have to say the change up with the acoustic and the vocals are amazing, absolutely respect there “metamorphosis” as they grow. Awesome.

This album entered into the world at a critical time. With the amount of corruption, suicide, drug overdose, alcohol abuse and domestic violence, Whitechapel comes out with a brutal album to keep me focused at the gym. You guys are my 2021 saviors.

This album feels like the finalized image of the sound Whitechapel has been moving towards since our endless war. It never feels like a second has been wasted when listening to this album. Every song packs so much emotion through the instrumentals, vocals, and lyrics. This is Whitechapel at its best.

History is Silent is Phil's best clean sung work so far. He's improved a lot from his first attempts on Mark of the Blade and The Valley.

Good album. Loving the change in sound. Phil has a great voice. Don't let anyone tell you want to create. True fans will love it. I do

Been with this band since This is Exile. Can't understand the people that don't like their new direction, Kin and The Valley are Metal masterpieces.

AOTY 10/10 masterpiece

Been listening to you guys for almost 10 years now. Couldn't be happier with the direction you guys are going. Staying true to the roots and evolving at the same time. Beautiful

This is literally Opethcore, and that's why I love it !! This new era of Whitechapel is the best ever !

You think people who are not into metal have any idea that metal can be this deep? My whole life I've been told that metal is angry and about devil worship... but it's ok to play WAP on the radio that kids listen too. No hate against anyone else's art or preference of music... I'm just saying our preferences and sense of judgement seriously need to be put into question right now. Love yous all, stay strong

Whitechapel really just dropped two masterful genre-bending albums in a row. I am so happy to be a Whitechapel fan.

Seeing everyone compliment the hell outta this album makes me so happy. THIS is the culmination of a powerful and emotional story. THIS is how it's done boys. Fucking 20/10 album. I've never felt so emotionally attached to an album before.

Thx Metal Blade for supporting great artists. Thx Whitechapel for great music

Just wow.. I said Kin was going to be another masterpiece and fuck, was I right. Every song sounds different from each other while still keeping the theme of the album as follow up to The Valley. I love this thing and so does my girlfriend who ive shown stuff but she usually listened to Death Cab for Cutie and stuff like that. She said Kin is album of the year and it sounds sappy but we both had a good amount of heart strings pulled from this one. Brought me to tears. Seriously, I was touched and realized i have stuff i need to work on myself and just keep pushing through the hell to keep it simple

Such a perfect blend of melody and brutality... ❤️

To Phil and the rest of the fellas in the band! OMFG!!!!! Legendary and Amazing 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

This is it. This is the sound I've been searching for my whole life I think I found my new favorite album of all time guys, I genuinely do. This literally takes most of my favorite music elements and blends it all together beautifully over some of the best songwriting I've ever heard. Bravo lads 🔥🙌

Whitechapel nunca decepciona! 🇧🇷

What a masterpiece!

i lost count now, how many times i've listened to the whole album, at home, at work ...

Never listened to this band before but was curious after Lost Boy. This album is the BEST album of the year EASY! Absolute masterpiece. So much variation and emotion. I just can't pick a song i liked the most.

Been with whitechapel since the somatic defilement. Love all the albums and this is easily their best. Love whitechapel,been my favorite band for so long,and I’m so proud of Phil for putting himself out there telling his story.

Masterpiece of an album

I've been listening to Whitechapel for years now, primarily since their self titled album in 2009. Phil's clarity and intensity has always inspired me musically and this album is no different. I can't wrap my head around how much this group has grown. Instrumentally they are on top of their game, composure is golden, and content is powerful. I was compelled to purchase their vinyl yesterday, just from hearing the first song. First time for me on that one and now I have to spend more money on a turntable... thanks guys.

I had so many emotions while listening to this album and in the end it´s perfection. I mostly wonder why there are ninjas cutting onions but however this is 11/10.

Their best album hands down

Alex Rudinger is the perfect fit for this band... WOW!

Really special. I will find you and Kin are especially amazing for me personally. Solo in Kin is so perfect for the song, guitar sings like something you would hear dimebag play....amazing

Final line of The Valley (Doom Woods): The Devil is Alive First line of Kin (I Will Find You): The Devil is Dead. GENIUS

This is easily Whitechapel’s most dynamic and emotional album to date. The increased emphasis on groove, soloing, and experimentation has benefited them greatly.

The evolution of this band is amazing. The progression till this far is too brilliant. The album is emotional and relatable. Phil's singing is too good and you really can't hate this style. Absolute Master piece . Hail WhiteChapel

so funny story, the other day I went to a festival and there was a tent with band shirts that had a cool special offer called "mystery shirt" or smth like that. you could buy a black package for a discounted price and you get a random band shirt. I thought why not and got a whitechapel shirt that said "I'm alone, I'm miserable" on the side. I knew whitechapel from years ago because of phil bozeman who I always respected. but I haven't heard any of their recent stuff. so I looked up their latest album and now I'm here. and well I found a fucking masterpiece! I'm blown away. this record speaks to me on so many levels

Squint your eyes to where everything’s blurry, the two heads turn and look at you. Once you see it, you can’t undo it. Album art/concept remind me of deafheavens new record.

Love this album....kinda has a tool/perfect circle vibe when Phil starts singing. Then goes right back into the typical whitechapel gnarly breakdowns. Fucking gold🤘

whitechapel's magnum opus.. i've seen you guys evolve since 2009. Saw you live once, wish I could've seen ya'll live more. Keep bringing that deep south heat.

Legendary. I'm so happy this album is a part of my life. So blessed we are..

An absolute masterpiece, this album hits different!

This is a masterpiece. I’m happy they went this direction and didn’t go the Slayer route and do the same thing for 3 decades. The guitar work on this is stellar. This is how you write and implement tasteful solos.

This is why Whitechapel is my favorite artists of all time. They never disappoint me and I've been a fan ever since I was a kid first listening to Possession. This is a new level and no band either current or future will ever come close to what they have accomplished. 🤘

The album was barely released, I listened to it in its entirety, and it's the best deathcore album I've heard this year.

I cannot express how much I love this album. This is a pure masterpiece. And I say that as of the word "masterpiece" were rarely used. Such a fucking amazing album.

I'm officially obsessed with this album. That didn't take too long.

the array of emotions that cascade over me while listening to this album is something special. You guys are outstanding musicians

So glad they brought Rudinger onboard! He compliments everything so nicely and bring some serious energy!

Been following some of these guys since circa 2004, before WhiteChapel. It's been a true pleasure not only to see them refine their craft but also to see some good dudes from East Tennessee thrive. Good job.

I wasn't even a fan until my son and nephew started sending me a song here and there. 'Saw is the Law' really peaked my attention. Then they sent the slower stuff. Then, as Spotify's algorithm does, more and more Whitechapel stuff started popping up, and I stopped "not liking" it and began tolerating it as it played. Enter "Kin"; this is really, really good (mostly). Although it's still not my preferred stuff, so much on this album is so good that I have to say that I'm a fan, and the more I listen to this album, the more I like it. Great job, guys!

Whitechapel was one of my favorite bands in early 2010's, they were part of my days, I listened to their first three albums so much, then I stopped a few years ago because i didn't like the sound of the self titled, a bit more Our Endless War but wasn't the same thing for me. Then I listened to Orphan, and now listening to the full album I can say this is my favourite album. Knowing Phil's past I cried a lot reading some of the lyrics, listening to this album is like finding an old close friend after years, he is now grown up and I love him a lot. Thank you guys for this awesome piece of art

Whitechapels' signature Fortin Blade overdrive pedal is so powerful and amazing, it's changed the sound of my 7 string with tosin abasi fluence signature pickups and 6505+ rig with ampeg cabinet (loaded with celestion G12T-75 speakers which the 1960a marshall cabinets were loaded with essentially a celestion Greenback on steroid) so much. I never run my rig without it now! I can hear it on these recordings! Skal

This is absolutely gorgeous! The emotional roller coaster ride from this album was insane! I take my hat off to Whitechapel. I’ve been a fan from day one and this album is so amazing! Phil’s clean vocals are jaw dropping! 🔥🔥🔥

I dont want to speak too soon, but I think this one of the best albums I've ever heard. Its very unpredictable, with a great balance between the heavy and melodic. The ending track is such a good closer.

The is a fucking masterpiece of an album and most definitely the album of the year for me. If an album can bring tears to my eyes it is great. This album makes me cry so hard at times. I feel like I can relate the the lyrics perfectly as they seem to match up with the rough life I have lived. Thank you for this work of art. Thank you so much.

Such a good music to listen in autumn.

I never heard Whitechapel before this livestream and had my mind absolutely blown when I heard this album wtf. Greatness

Love the song Anticure. 🤍

I’m a bit late to this album, but it is incredible! The emotions, lyrics, and musicianship are top notch. I can’t get enough of this. Thank you for making this amazing work of art.

This album is a beautifully crafted cathartic journey. I didn’t think they could top the valley, but I believe they have. Standing ovation from me.

This album is phenomenal.

I’ve heard old white chapel but I started with the valley, so I have a very unique look on this band. I think the reason people don’t like new whitechapel is because people don’t like new, they want their favorite band to make the same album over and over again, bring me the horizon is a great example of this. Everyone wants them to do another Count Your Blessings just like how everyone wants whitechapel to do This is Exile over and over again for the rest of their career. They want deathcore from white chapel so when people hear melodic metal with radio rock elements with the occasional deathcore part, they don’t like it, even if it’s really good.

This is by far some of their best work yet !

15:00 I have never heard a band sound so similar to Demon Hunter, it's incredible how the two bands have crossed paths in sound.

I already listened to the album and let me say that I never thought Whitechapel would ever make such a beautiful song like they did with Kin..

The solo in Kin goes full Steve Vai. I was blown away from this album. Knew of them before The Valley but both of these albums has hooked me as a fan. This is exactly what I was looking for in music and I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with next.

Since 3 months this is my daily listening. Awesome album.

Going to buy a physical copy, cause Old School 🤘Support🤘

My wife and I are bringing our son to the Atlanta date for his ninth birthday and he/I couldn’t be more stoked!!! This album is perfect.

I continue to fall in love with this band more and more, with each release... Mark Lewis!!! I salute you sir. You have truly been able to capture this bands essence and heaviness in all aspects. Metal Blade Records. Thank you for letting this band continue to grow. Such a welcome thing. Amazing talent, refining itself and aging like a great fucking wine. Now to dream of a Whitechapel, Fit For An Autopsy tour...

Superb work by these guys! I’m an old dude in his 50’s and this album resonates with me big time. Great mix of heavy riffs and acoustic plus the songwriting and of course vocals, drums etc…love the concept album style…dang now I need a 7 string guitar!

Phil brought me to my knees with this album I've been a whitechapel fan as far as I can remember growing up alone I always could count on whitechapel so really I wasn't alone truly whitechapel is my all time favorite band ❤ keep up the hard work

Holy shit, the ones that made us, stank face all day. 🤟 Love it when they have nu metal riffs mixed with deathcore. Heavy as hell.

Está buenisimo Dios mío, Whitechapel va en cada escalada con cada trabajo que saca, full sentimiento y el típico salvajismo desgarrador que los caracteriza, ÉPICO

I have never seen such a positive reaction to adding clean vocals to such heavy music, I love this sound and couldn't be happier to see the metal community rally around such an enormously immense group!!!

As a metal fan who doesn't really enjoy the -core subgenres, Whitechapel has always been a band I didn't quite care fore when listening to their music. This however is excellent material. I don't even know if it's pehaps because it diverts from what I associate as deathcore to be, or simply because it offers elements of things I like on top of the deathcore elements, but I am in love with this album. Definitely will end up in my top of the year.

I think bloodsoaked symphony is my track of the year. Has one of the best riffs ive ever heard out of whitechapel. And its just groovy as fuck

Breathtaking!

Hands down, the best album of 2021. The entire album was just absolute masterpeice after masterpeice. I've had it on repeat since it came out

I Will Find You is a perfect album opener. Starts like Borknagar, then starts throwing elbows~

They changed alot threw the years i like it with the clean vocals

This is top tier metal 🤘🏼 Been listening to Whitechapel since I was in middle school. Still going strong today!

This has to be one of the greatest metal releases of recent memory. This album has something for everyone, it's incredible. Phil's vocals, both growling and clean, are amazing and the instruments are so tight. Whitechapel are definitely at the peak of their powers in my opinion. They should be incredibly proud of this release. I've had it on repeat since it came out, loving every second of it.

Never been the biggest fan of whitechapel, but I can't stop listening to this album it's incredible!

When I think of Whitechapels weak era, I think more mark of the blade and our endless war where they abandoned deathcore for slipknot and lamb of god vibes...the most boring direction deathcore bands go in. This and the valley are incredible. Huge step up from a production standpoint too. The self titled is still my favorite but man these last two albums totally reinvigorated my interest in this band.

"I crawl through the nether and left a suicide letter next to my own severed head"... Phil....that my friend is a bar.

A new milestone in music, period! What Whitechapel have created here on Kin and through out the entire journey of their discography yet is truly unparalelled.
