Band: Whole Word Wept
From: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Their formation story:
(Patrick, guitar): "Just big dawgs linking up and doing big dawg shit.
"Honestly, we're a band that started on Discord and has now spilled into the real world. You could call it a COVID band, but very post-COVID."
Their sound in their own words:
"Gonna do a couple of record-specific influences:
Heidnik — Nothing
The Red Chord — Fused Together in Revolving Doors
Ed Gein — It's a Shame That a Family Can Be Torn Apart by Something as Simple as a Pack of Wild Dogs
Lamb of God — New American Gospel"
Latest release info:
"This is our third EP drop in a little over a year. It was written in Drop A instead of Drop G, and that definitely changed the sound a bit with some different elements, but it still sounds like us. It probably leans a bit more on the metalcore side.
"Our guy Antilla, who does our drums, is really clever when it comes to our songs, and I think we all have an idea now of what a song should sound like when it's done.
"Sample game still goin' crazy."
Future plans:
"We'll see what kind of show offers come in while we write an LP and hopefully drop some random singles along the way.
"We basically doubled our songwriting power by bringing in my boy Chris (shout out ROCK BOTTOM) on bass, who is probably an even better guitar player than me, so in some ways it feels like the band is just getting started."
What other bands from your region should we check out?
"Every single band our drummer Naveen plays in is sick as hell: Desolation, Shunt, Decerebrate, Damage Control, and Trash Panda. Bro is a busy man."
