Naked Whipper – Chapel Defilement (2025)

January 31, 2025

A Naked Whipper comeback / sophomore album was not on my 2025 bingo card, I’ll be honest with you. It’s also very easy to be sceptical of something like this happening, especially so long after the original run, as it were. However, much like David Lynch’s Twin Peaks (bet you didn’t see that comparison coming huh), the Naked Whipper return after several decades does much in the same in that it takes that original perverted sickness and gives it a fresh, new take. This happens without I believe an attempt to deliberately “modernize” the music, but just to record what comes naturally.

Musically, the drums are much more rigid and the production is a tad beefer, making this sound like a completely different band from the off. Longtime fans will be very happy to hear that the bonkers vocals have however remained very much in tow. Also, that art is killer.

It’s pretty solid, in my opinion. Here’s to wondering if any more Naked Whipper is on the horizon….
