NAKED WHIPPER deliver their LONG-awaited second album: Chapel Defilement. Indeed, Chapel Defilement is the proverbial "best of both worlds," as it's the swift & succinct sound of Painstreaks and Moloch : Acid Orgy together, tighter and catchier and more caustic and more "fun" than it has any right being. It's almost as if those 20-plus years never passed, so etched-in-time is the NAKED WHIPPER aesthetic - and yet, in these days when bestial metal has blossomed into its own vibrant / overcrowded subgenre, Chapel Defilement sounds remarkably fresh. Much of that comes down the band's songwriting, which has remained unyielding if not slightly more refined: blast, gallop, blast, repeat, with actual fucking RIFFS that you can remember. Naturally, there's an ever-so-slight tightening of execution that's maximized by the clear & crushing production, but one could argue that NAKED WHIPPER could've delivered this kind of album in the late '90s anyway. Either way you cut it, Chapel Defilement is a glorious & grimy return for a band that never wimped out, and it's gloriously / grimily graced with another classic cover artwork from the legendary Chris Moyen!
