Whitechapel are an American deathcore band formed in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 2006, taking their name from the London district associated with the Jack the Ripper murders. Known for using three guitarists and a mix of guttural vocals with downtuned riffs, they became a central name in modern deathcore through albums such as This Is Exile and The Valley. Short excerpts of their sound circulate on soundboards and in edits because a few seconds are enough to signal extreme heaviness without needing a full track.
