Biographie:
 Walls of Jerico play fast metallic hardcore, but also combine what I feel are some of the best aspects of many different styles of hardcore, and with them, form their own individual sound. low-end breakdowns, heavy chug parts, and well written personal/political lyrics make for a very good combination, and a very promising debut release from this Detroit area band... Walls of Jericho features ex-members of Earthmover, and they share a lot in common with Earthmover musically. They have been called "a more intelligent Hatebreed"
Featuring ex-members of Earth Mover, Walls of Jericho formed in late-1998 in Detroit, Michigan, writing and playing music together as often as possible. In April 1999, the band would release its first material, "A Day and a Thousand Years," on 7" and CD format via Underestimated Records and Genet Records, respectively. The releases, combined with constant touring, helped put Walls of Jericho on the hardcore map nationwide. After being picked up by New Jersey's Trustkill Records, the band would release its full-length, "The Bound Feed the Gagged," in 1999. Unfortunately, Walls of Jericho would disband in 2001, leaving many disappointed fans behind. Over its brief career, the band has toured with numerous acts, including Hatebreed, Buried Alive, Harvest, and Another Victim, while participating in hardcore festivals (Hellfest). Walls of Jericho's music combined a mix of metal, hardcore, thrash, and e-chug hardcore, coupled with Candace's powerful female vocals. Fans of metalcore in general should check out Walls Of Jericho.
There are few bands than can write a two minute song that incorporates every element of metal/hardcore that we all love... but Walls Of Jericho do just that. Speed, crunch, anger, emotion, melodies, sing-a-longs, and spine-tingling aggression consolidate to form Detroit’s most lethal breed of heavy hitters. Comparisons to Slayer and Strife are of merit, but these guys and gals do not fall victim to the confines of other cookie cutter bands. Adding elements such as youth crew parts and even acoustic parts to their savage onslaught makes them a light at the end of the tunnel amidst the sea of bands attempting similar styles. Walls Of Jericho cannot be categorized, they are unstoppable, and Candace’s relentlessly heart stopping vocals will have you at her mercy.

Editor Notes:
Bin damals eher zufällig auf Walls Of Jericho gestoßen, ich glaube auf einem Genet Label Sampler. War sofort begeistert und eine dermaßen schreiende Frontfrau hat mich auch ziemlich begeistert.
Und jetzt kommen sie zusammen mit Undying auf Tour, Grund genug für mich dieses Feature zusammenzustellen.
