WHITECHAPEL
The Valley METAL BLADE
On their seventh album, the Tennessee metallers unveiled a striking cinematic vision. Bludgeoning yet beautiful, the crushing deathcore assault for which they made their name sat alongside ambient soundscapes and melancholic cleans, as Phil Bozeman used each track as a means to explore personal hardships of times past. A 41-minute emotional rollercoaster, The Valley was one of 2019’s most intense listening experiences.
