Spoiler: there is no clean singing on the new Whitechapel song. The band is getting a super head start on their new album cycle.
They've announced their new album is called The Valley, which will come out March 29. Here's the first single. "Brimstone."
The story of the album teases that it's "based on true events." The press release elaborates the title of the song is a refrence to Hardin Valley, west of Knoxville, Tennessee, where vocalist Phil Bozeman grew up. Bozeman explains:
“It’s all about me as a child, and some of it is me looking back on that time from the perspective of now. Also, it’s my interpretation of my mom’s struggles and her different personalities. She had a journal that contained very disturbing and sometimes evil writings, and some of her quotes and a lot of that journal is in the lyrics.”
Pre-orders are now available. Here's the cover art.
