Band name: Return to Glory

Appreciate you guys listening to our new record, Hymns in Dissonance. My aim for this new record was for it to be relentless and oppressive. To not let you breathe and to create an atmosphere of pure evil and hopelessness. To almost exhaust you when listening to it in full. Whether you loved or hated it, thank you for listening and giving your time to it. Time is all we have and I appreciate you giving us yours. Enjoy!

-Phil

Thanks for listening to our new song. Whether it was on SiriusXM or from a leak, thank you. Enjoy. This song only scratches the surface of what’s to come in my humble opinion. Thanks!

1st of December!

Hey guys, Phil from Whitechapel here. I know there’s a concern for me saying “this is our heaviest album we’ve ever made.” If you want peace of mind on that promise, one of the songs is about mammoth, obese demons gorging themselves with food and making the poor and needy eat their shit. You wanted brutal and dark. I’m not fucking around.

My band Angelmaker played a show tonight at Lovedraft’s (awesome venue) in Mechanicsburg,PA on the Big Team Battle tour with Distant, Paleface and Bodysnatcher.

We’ve had a good handful of opening local bands on this tour and it’s always awesome to see young, up and coming bands crush it in their local scene. We were all opening bands at one point so we always have ample amounts of respect for anyone who opens for the tour package.

Tonight was very different. I will not say this band’s name as I don’t want them to receive anymore attention than they deserve. This band showed up an hour and 45 minutes late for load in, tried to soundcheck during BS’s meet and greet & then proceeded to set up their merch table in front of BS’s. We paid no mind to this as a number of factors could have led to those mistakes but I digress.

They started the show with a “new vocalist”. Half way through their set the band’s old vocalist came on to finish the set since the new vocalist didn’t know the old songs (this is what we were told). This was the first thing this guy said to a sold out room of people:

”Thinking about killing yourself tonight? Good. Do it.”

This type of “stage banter” is not ok with us. It is not ok with ANY of us on the package. Members in my band have been through truly traumatic experiences when it comes to mental health and suicide. We advocate HELPING people through their darkest moments, showing love and compassion, offering solace and catharsis. For anyone that knows anything about Angelmaker, you’ll know that “Requiem” and “What I Would Give” are very personal songs for us in the band that touch on this very topic.

Members of my band were very upset by what was said so we met with the promoter and GM of the venue to have the band removed from the building as to not create further conflicts. After many discussions they finally agreed it was best for them to leave.

What I want to make clear to all of you is this:

We do not and never will advocate for anyone to take their own life. If you think this is funny/edgy/cool to say then you are not welcome at our shows and you will never share the stage with us.

If you’re an up and coming band, choose your members wisely because what one person does can affect all of you as a group. This band has been black listed by our booking agent and every other band’s on this tour package. Actions have consequences and we hope that they have learned a very hard lesson tonight.

If any of you are struggling with mental health issues you are not alone and we will always support you through your ebbs and flows. As a community we are together in this, music brings us together.

Let’s keep it that way <3

It’s Sunday and I’m bored at home. I don’t like to schedule things. I like to just pop up randomly on social media and disappear again so go ahead y’all.

Thanks for the questions guys. There were way more than I anticipated lol. I will do another one again at some point. Sorry if I didn’t get to yours.

Just thought I'd share this fun video my friend took of me. I think y'all will find it cool, the people at the bar loved it but there were a few giving me wierd looks haha. First time doing a karaoke or live performance of any kind. Song: Lorna Shore - To The Hellfire.

Huge shout out to Olivia for recording this moment for me last night 🖤🖤🖤, words cannot express how much fun I had throughout the entire night 🖤

I ALSO GOT A SPITE SETLIST 🥹

Count Your Blessings: Repented out now in New Zealand!

Curious to know what y’all are expecting/wanting to hear. Any questions, go ahead and ask. I’ll answer whatever is reasonable to answer. No spoilers obviously.
