Whitechapel Interview with Zach Householder
Metal bands… I love ‘em! Not just because screaming, percussive pounding, and distortion sounds good to me, but because I respect metal musicians. The good ones are some of the hardest working people around, and they (generally) aren’t working on choreography and dance moves to get ready for their shows. There is no shortage of upstart metal bands and kids with a dream to play in the big leagues, but it takes rigorous preparation, 110% effort, and a bit of the “crazy” to really make it work. Whitechapel has all those elements, and they want to let you know they won’t be stopping anytime soon.

Formed in 2000, Knoxville, Tennessee’s Straight Line Stitch is a 5-pc metalcore group with a long history. Boasting a 4 album 3 EP catalogue, the band has been pushing forward into the mainstream music environment, bent on becoming a force within the metal community. It hasn’t always been an easy trek (the group has had more than 10 members come and go during their tenure), but the most recent lineup is arguably the tightest, most driven they’ve seen to date.
