Whitechapel released ‘Mark Of The Blade’ earlier this year on Metal Blade Records, and this record saw the band evolve their sound more than ever. The new tunes still feature disgustingly heavy break downs, and screams straight from hell, but they went a step further by adding clean vocals into the mix. As you’ll hear in the new ‘Bring Me Home’ clip, Phil Bozeman did one hell of a job with the new vocal approach, and the song’s deep subject matter only adds to the overall power of this track.
Here’s what Phil told Metal Injection about the new video: “This video means more to me than any video we’ve ever done. It portrays my struggle through dealing with my dad’s death at the age of 10. The shots of me show me at my darkest moments. Suicidal thoughts, suicide note and feeling alone. The atmosphere of the room we shot this is nailed exactly how I was feeling at the time. Dark, depressed and suicidal. The shots of the man and young boy portray my bond I had with my dad and how devastated I was when he left. They are presented to be in a dream like state of me remembering him. The last shot is from my dad and mom’s actual gravesite. It’s really awesome to have that authenticity to the video. The final scene is showing that I came out of it alive but no matter what, I will push forward and not give up.”
