Released on March 29, 2019, The Valley is the seventh studio album by Whitechapel, marking a significant evolution in their sound. The album blends brutal deathcore with melodic and atmospheric elements, incorporating clean vocals for the first time in a more prominent way. Produced by Mark Lewis, The Valley is deeply personal, drawing from frontman Phil Bozeman’s traumatic childhood experiences growing up in Hardin Valley, Tennessee.

Lyrically, The Valley explores grief, loss, trauma, and psychological horror, making it Whitechapel’s most emotional and introspective album to date. While still featuring crushing breakdowns and aggressive riffs, the record introduces haunting melodies and dynamic shifts, solidifying Whitechapel’s ability to transcend the deathcore genre.
