The Somatic Defilement
The Somatic Defilement is the debut studio album by American deathcore band Whitechapel. The album was released on July 31, 2007, through Candlelight Records and is their only release through this label before their move to Metal Blade the following year. It is the only album to feature guitarist Brandon Cagle.
The Somatic Defilement is mostly a concept album based on Jack the Ripper, in which the majority of the songs are first-person narratives of the slaughter and rape of prostitutes. Only two songs are exceptions to this theme: vocalist Phil Bozeman specified that "Alone in the Morgue" is about "a coroner who is a demented necrophiliac" and "Festering Fiesta" is about Jeffrey Dahmer. The intro track, "Necrotizing" also contains excerpts from a Stone Phillips interview with Dahmer.
The album is the only one by Whitechapel to include Brandon Cagle as guitarist. He later left the band due to injuries he received from a motorcycle accident which left him unable to play his instrument. He was replaced by Zach Householder.
A remixed and remastered edition of the album was released on April 16, 2013 through Metal Blade Records. Re-mixing and re-mastering duties were given to Mark Lewis, whom the band worked with since their self-titled release.
