For a minute, Municipal Waste fans put up a bit of a struggle, but in the end, Whitechapel's "This is Exile" video smoked the competition's dust off the floor to win the band a return trip to next week's "Headbangers Ball."
the deathcore band's "Your Vote Counts" victory coincides with its strong Billboard chart debuts. In its first week out, This is Exile sold 6,000 copies to rank at number 117 on the Hot 200 album chart. In addition, the record hit number 2 on the Heatseeker's Chart, number 13 on the Hard Music Chart, number 14 on the Independent Albums Chart, number 43 on the Rock Chart and number 51 on the Tastemaker's Chart.
"Whitechapel is the future of metal," wrote Zac.
"Whitechapel owns all others," spouted David, adding if you dont vote for them I will spit right in your f---ing face," a threat for which he, perhaps, should have been disqualified.
Tune into MTV2's Headbangers Ball Saturday night at Nidnight to see Whitechapel's "This is Exile" again along with a bunch of other kick-ass metal.
