NEWS: Bodysnatcher pay tribute to Adam Whited!

Never afraid to confront with tough subject matters, Floridian Deathcore brutes Bodysnatcher have released a new standalone single “Dead Rabbit” that finds Chris Whited pay tribute to his brother and former King Conquer band mate Adam Whited who passed away last April.

Drummer and studio guru Chris Whited comments: “This song was written as a message to my brother Adam who died April 5th 2022. Adam got me into hardcore and playing music when we were younger. He started and played in our old band King Conquer and was a massive part in the South Florida metal and hardcore scene. Adam was diagnosed with a severe case  of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) when he was only 16 years old. He fought through it for years continuing to tour through the pain, loss of sight, numbness of limbs, and brain lesions until he physically couldn’t do it anymore. 

Bodysnatcher had planned to have Adam write the lyrics for our next album. That album was going to be his point of view and struggles through life with MS that most people could never imagine. I wanted him to be able to still have an input in one more album I was part of… but on April 5th 2022 he passed away. While writing these lyrics I knew I wanted to also include something he had written in the past. The words that read “You don’t know real pain until you feel mine, Losing faith on a bathroom floor” are taken from the King Conquer song “Turmoil Before Enlightenment” that he wrote all the lyrics for 12 years ago. Chills ran down my spine remembering those words because when he passed away he was found exactly like that. “Dead Rabbit” was his nickname most knew him by so we named this song after him”
