This Is Exile is the second studio album by American deathcore band Whitechapel. It was produced by Jonny Fay and the band itself and was released on July 8, 2008 through Metal Blade Records. This is the band's first album to feature guitarist Zach Householder.
Release and background
Upon the release of the record, its sales reached 5,900 in copies, which had it enter the Billboard Top 200 chart at position 118.[1] Three music videos for songs from the album were released. The video for "This Is Exile" was released on June 18, 2008.[1] The music video for "Possession" was released on November 18, 2008 and shown on MTV2's Headbangers Ball. The music video for "Eternal Refuge" was released on June 8, 2009.
This album marked a change in the group's thematic material; while the two demos and the previous album The Somatic Defilement dealt with the Whitechapel murders, "This is Exile" moved past that and into anti-religious and corruption themes, the latter of which would be expanded up further in the next album.
The song "This Is Exile" is available as downloadable content for Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and Rock Band 3.[2] The song is also used in the iPod Touch game, Tap Tap Revenge 3.
