Nov. 14 — Whitechapel will tentatively release its new live recording, Live in The Valley this winter.
The new live recording is scheduled for release Jan. 26 through Metal Blade Records. Recorded at the band’s 7th annual Christmas Benefit Show Dec. 22, 2022 at the Mill & Mine in the band’s hometown of Knoxville, TN, the recording features performance of songs from the band’s albums, The Valley and Kin.
Guitarist Alex Wade had the following to say of the recording:
“We decided to record the audio from our 7th annual hometown Christmas benefit show in 2022 where we played a mixed set from our albums ‘The Valley’ and ‘Kin’. We thought this would be a good way to close the chapter on these albums before we start recording our 9th album. The audio was recorded, engineered, mixed and mastered by our very own Zach Householder and we are excited about the way that it turned out. Along with the audio we shot 2 live videos to accompany the live album release.”
Pre-orders are open now. The recording’s track listing is noted below. In anticipation of the recording’s release, the band premiered a live clip of its performance of ‘Lost Boy‘ from the recording.
