Whitechapel's New Album Breaks the Billboard Top 50

I mentioned it in my review this week, but it's worth noting again that the local death-metal band Whitechapel's third disc, A New Era of Corruption, opened at #43 on the Billboard album charts last week, with more than 10,000 copies sold. That's a lot of records for a death-metal band, especially one that was playing all-ages matinees in Knoxville just a few years ago.
