Anywayz, here's another 'throwback' Whitechapel tune - the title track from their sophomore, "This Is Exile". Like the last track I did from 'This Is Exile', the tempo's vary a bit from the album version. The album wasn't tracked with a click, so to make it work live with a click, we time stretch certain sections up or down until it locks in well enough, that way everyone can get the click signal in their in-ears. We also slowed it down considerably in certain sections (thank god, LOL). The album version is QUITE fast. I feel like it still hits pretty hard at these tempos, & is certainly easier for me to pull off consistently night after night on the road. I also changed some parts up a bit here & there - sort of put my on feel / ideas on it (while still trying to do the original justice). Also largely because, again, my focus was to make it as consistently playable live / on tour as possible (that's always something that's important to me when I know I'll be playing a song night after night for ages).

Speaking of 'the road' - god dang am I over 2020 ya'll. Lol, I mean furreal. I miss playing shows. In the meantime though, I'm currently workin' on a buncha music stuff, so that's been cool. W.C.'s been workin' on a new album & I've started learning all the parts for it (hence my lack of drum video posting / general Social Media posting as of late - just been a bit preoccupied). It'll all be worth it when I'm tracking some rad tunes in the coming months! 

Mix was done by the HOMIE, Anup Sastry! If you're looking to hire a great audio engineer for mixing, producing, editing, or anything else, contact Anup using the address below!
