Released on October 29, 2021, Kin is the eighth studio album by Whitechapel, showcasing the band's continued evolution beyond traditional deathcore. Following the deeply personal themes of The Valley (2019), Kin expands upon its predecessor's emotional storytelling, blending brutal heaviness with melodic and atmospheric elements.
Lyrically, the album is inspired by frontman Phil Bozeman’s traumatic childhood and personal struggles, mixing reality with fictionalized horror elements. Musically, Kin continues Whitechapel’s experimentation with clean vocals, intricate song structures, and dynamic shifts between aggression and melancholy.
