These songs are something else.” The valley of the title relates to the Hardin Valley, west of Knoxville, Tennessee, where vocalist Phil Bozeman grew up. Set against this backdrop, he approaches his subject matter unflinchingly, building upon everything that came before, making it clear that he has survived that which he was forced to endure and is not afraid to confront it. To track this powerful collection, the band once again teamed up with producer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Lewis (Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. The Knoxville metal titans will of course be hitting the road hard again now that they have a new collection of songs. For Wade, every record the band drops is an important stepping stone as they continue to build Whitechapel’s legacy, and The Valley is no exception.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen a Demon Defiles a Witch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForgiveness is Weakness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrimstone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHickory Creek\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Bear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Are One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Other Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThird Depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLovelace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoom Woods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"METAL BLADE","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50523262681187,"sku":"039841623611","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2553\/7123\/files\/image_bed49ef3-2570-496b-a732-e7d70fbff847.jpg?v=1790307421","url":"https:\/\/lunchboxrecords.com\/products\/039841623611","provider":"Lunchbox Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
