LABEL:Metal Blade Records
RELEASE DATE: 10/09/2026
VARIANT: Gold Metallic Black Dust Vinyl LP

The theme of Mark of the Blade is a celebration of Whitechapel being together for ten years and the fans that support us no matter what, states vocalist Phil Bozeman, and after just one exposure to the records 11 riveting tracks, a more fitting tribute is unimaginable. Pushing their sound forward with each successive release, the sextet have never allowed anyone outside of their ranks to dictate or influence the music they write. Mark of the Blade sees them remain true to their roots while making their most dramatic progression to date, the emphasis falling more on groove than blastbeat-driven death metal violence, as well as venturing into previously unexplored territory, both sonically and lyrically.
