Walls Of Jericho - With Devils Amongst Us All

When miraculously finding out that Ed Banger signed artist SebastiAn had remixed Walls Of Jericho on his latest track "Dog" I just had to give them a listen. Further more I found it hard to believe that the vocals sampled from the band on SebastiAn's track were female...

I wasn't sure where to begin but when usually starting out on a band I look at their second most recent album and hope it gives me a taste of the bands sound.

With Devils Amongst Us All is Walls Of Jericho's 4th album and begins with the brilliantly titled track "A Trigger Full Of Promises" which opens with an awesome 80's sounding thrash riff that wouldn't feel out of place in any Megadeth collection. This doesn't mean that Walls Of Jericho are just following the current thrash metal up rise as after the initial skull pounding riff you hear a more diverse complex sound that combined with the simply breathtaking vocals of Candace Kucsulain leaves you wondering why this underground metalcore band aren't one hell of alot bigger?

A Trigger...Then flows into "I Know Hollywood And You Ain't It" another brilliantly titled track which possibly shows Candace Kucsulain at her vocal best with gut-wrenching screams and enough adrenaline to leave you sweaty and very scared.

The rest of the album follows the awesome track names with songs such as "Another Day, Another Idiot" & "Try.Fail.Repeat" both of which are packed full of breakdowns and riffage galore.

All in all a good album and a band I will be looking further into

P.S If your no fan of female's making the vocal talents of most men in the metal scene seem shamefull try "No Saving Me" which features Candace singing to her scientific best.
