American
hardcore metal band Whitechapel have become one of the premier bands in
the genre. Since their beginnings in 2006, the band has continued to
grow in popularity which saw their 2014 album "Our Endless War" crack
the top 10 on the Billboard album chart. On June 24th, Whitechapel
released their sixth studio album titled "Mark Of The Blade." It
features eleven tracks that showcase the growth and maturity in their
deathcore sound. Beginning with "The Void," Whitechapel come blasting
out of the gate with the quick-pace of this exciting hardcore aggressive
style. They stay in the same vein with the pounding rhythm of the title
song "Mark Of The Blade." The band slows things down for the intense,
dark emotions of "Bring Me Home," before grinding out the west coast
heavy metal feel of "Tremors." They throw all their energy into the
screams of "Tormented," then showcase their musicianship in the
instrumental "Brotherhood," before closing the album with the six-minute death
metal epic piece "Decennium." To find out more about Whitechapel and

Also
released on June 24th is the latest full-length album from Mercyful Fate
guitarists Michael Denner and Hank Shermann titled "Masters Of Evil."
The duo's 2015 EP "Satan's Tomb" laid the groundwork for this new
eight-song release. Beginning with "Angel's Blood," the dual guitar
attack is supported by the great rhythm work of Snowy Shaw on drums and
Marc Garbowski on bass. Lead singer Sean Peck powers the song, "Son Of Satan"
with his soprano vocals as he lets out his heavy metal screams. The band
carries a classic Black Sabbath vibe into "The Wolf Feeds At Night" and
keep the metal mysticism of "Servants Of Dagon." The album closes with
the seven-minute progressive-metal piece, "The Baroness."
Denner/Shermann will be performing at this year's Metal Magic Festival
and Headbangers Open Air Festival in July. To find out more about their
