Album Review: Whitechapel - Our Endless War

Whitechapel lift the curtain on album number five with an ambient opening before getting down to big business with the title track. Our Endless War showcases why the sextet's ascent within the genre has been a steep one over the last decade, with howler Phil Bozeman obliterating patriotic sentiment with cajoling gusto over angular guitars and snapping bass. It's this more melodic factor that keeps these great tracks rolling along; those smart and sharp lines cushioning The Saw Is The Law's death metal screeches, the sinister downward riffs in the steady Let Me Burn, and the dull monotone vocal countered by everything fast and furious in Psychopathy.
