WALLS OF JERICHO Unleash Explosive Fourth Single "The Flame"

This Friday, hardcore legends WALLS OF JERICHO will unleash their long-awaited comeback record, System Error: Humanity. Today, they give fans the final spark before the powder keg blows: their new single "The Flame."

Uncaged and ferocious, "The Flame" opens with Slayer-level riffage, swiftly transitioning between exhilarating d-beats and cataclysmic breakdowns, honoring their crossover roots. After gigging relentlessly, decimating prestigious stages at Louder Than Life, Hellfest, Tied Down, and Furnace Fest, among others, metalcore can breathe a sigh of relief: The wait for new WOJ is finally over.

Frontwoman Candace Buckingham on "The Flame":

"We want to start a conversation about the power of words, how they shape expectations, reinforce stereotypes, and influence who we believe we’re allowed to be. It's time to challenge those limitations, let go of outdated gender expectations, and reclaim the freedom to define ourselves.

"This isn't about blaming or dividing people. It's about listening to experiences beyond our own, breaking down systematic beliefs that have been normalized for generations, and creating understanding, awareness, and recognizing the power we have to change them. It's time for change."

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.
