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 It’s time to challenge those limitations, let go of outdated gender expectations, and reclaim the freedom to define ourselves.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.”
