A band that carved out a raw, aggressive sound from the city's underground scene.
For a quick sense of their sound, 'A Long Walk Home' and 'And The Dead Walk Again' still hit with that early rawness. They're straightforward, no-frills tracks that frame what the band does.
Walls of Jericho came up in Detroit in 1998 with a sound that felt urgent and unfiltered. Songs like 'A Long Walk Home' and 'And The Dead Walk Again' carried that hardcore energy straight through their catalog. When their label dropped them over lyrical disputes in 2001, they self-financed 'All Hail the Dead,' which says a lot about their DIY spirit.
They started with 'The Bound Feed the Gagged' out of Detroit's underground. Later albums like 'The Days of the Phoenix' and 'With Devils Among Us' brought in more melodic and thrash touches while keeping that hardcore foundation. Frontwoman Candace Kucsulain has been the constant through lineup shifts that included guitarists Chris Rawson and Dusty Trails.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
