I’ll admit I’m first and foremost a hardcore person, and metalcore isn’t usually my cup of tea. But there are bands that make you happily step outside your usual territory. Walls Of Jericho are one of them. I first caught them live in Prague years ago, and that show completely blew me away. I’ve been keeping an eye on this Detroit band ever since, even if my usual listening habits take me in a different direction.
Now they’re back with a new album, System Error: Humanity, featuring fifteen tracks. Candance Kucsulain is still at the front, bringing the unmistakable voice that has always been a major part of the band’s sound. Walls Of Jericho stick to their hard-hitting approach, combining hardcore intensity with a heavy metallic edge.
The new record deals with social pressure, conformity, losing your sense of identity and refusing to let others dictate how you live. No grand statements needed – just anger, conviction and a strong sense of purpose.
Walls Of Jericho – System Error: Humanity. Fifteen new tracks from a band that still has something to say.
