Released on July 8, 2008, This Is Exile is the second studio album by American deathcore band Whitechapel. The album solidified the band's place in the deathcore scene with its relentless brutality, technical precision, and dark atmosphere. It was released through Metal Blade Records and produced by Jonny Fay.
Lyrically, This Is Exile explores themes of misanthropy, anti-religion, and existential dread, delivered through Phil Bozeman's guttural vocals and the band's signature triple-guitar assault. The album features a mix of blistering breakdowns, rapid tremolo-picked riffs, and intricate drumming that push the boundaries of the genre.
