Legendary hardcore force Walls Of Jericho unleash new single ‘Agency’

Legendary hardcore + metalcore force WALLS OF JERICHO are back with their long awaited new album System Error: Humanity dropping November 13 via Napalm Records. Following the triumphant release of their first single “The Ascent,” praised by fans and critics for its “fierce breakdowns and demolishing riffs” (Metal Injection), today, WOJ unleashes the exceedingly ferocious follow up “Agency.”

Like a bullet from a gun, “Agency” takes off at 100 miles an hour in explosive thrash excellence, before turning around and dropping you on your head with a tectonic breakdown. Iconic frontwoman Candace Buckingham gives a moving sermon of self actualization, galvanizing listeners to fight for their inalienable, human rights.

Frontwoman Candace Buckingham on “Agency”:

“‘Agency’ is a song about freedom. The kind that lives within you, the kind no one can take away, and the kind you have to fight for every single day.”

Clobbering listeners out of the gate with “True Til’ Death,” the band affirms the triumph of the comeback with rabid aggression: Iconic frontwoman Candace Buckingham immediately  commands listeners with her gargantuan growls. The discordant violence of tracks like “The Ascent” and “Untouchable,” tap into something truly primal and kick you back a reading level  with their claustrophobic chord work, while more thrash driven tracks like “The Flame” and  “Agency” take off at 100 miles per hour, plowing through a plethora of protein packed riffage  and solos. Lyrically the band is stoking the flames of discontent, with tracks like “Agency,” “Borrowed Ground,” and “Last Judgement,” delivering empowering messages of reclamation,  self determination, and human rights, encouraging listeners to fight for a better world. The  record also features a premier slew of guests including Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe on “Broken Mouths Can’t Speak,” his beckoning howl joining Candace on a ferocious duel attack; and Guy Kozowyk of The Red Chord on “Humanity,” propelling the groove laden pit starter  into cataclysmic levels of chaos. After some more delicious violence, and a transcendent slow burn in the form of “A Brighter Fire,” “The Reckoning” finishes things off with an epic, catastrophic energy that is bookended with one of the album’s most punishing breakdowns, bound to send some unlucky concertgoers to the dentist.

Legendary producer and Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou (NAILS, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Code Orange, and Every Time I Die) is behind the boards, capturing the band’s ferocious live  energy while maintaining a pristine presentation. Powerful, fierce, and stirring, WALLS OF JERICHO re-emerge with righteous purpose and brutal dedication, humanity may be the source  of the system error, but we are the system, and we are the solution.
