Walls of Jericho

About

Walls of Jericho isn’t just a band; it's a sonic battering ram, forged in the crucible of Detroit's hardcore scene and fronted by Candace Kucsulain-Picado, one of the most commanding vocalists in metalcore. Their sound, a potent blend of hardcore punk ferocity and metalcore breakdowns, is a cathartic release of aggression channeled into a tightly wound, precisely executed assault. Think Hatebreed meets Arch Enemy, with a lyrical focus on personal struggle, resilience, and social commentary. Emerging in the late 90s, WOJ quickly carved out a space in the burgeoning metalcore scene, finding wider acclaim with albums like "All Hail the Dead" and "Redemption." Their relentless touring schedule cemented their reputation as a formidable live act, captivating audiences with their raw energy and Kucsulain-Picado's visceral stage presence. Beyond the music, Walls of Jericho represents a powerful voice for marginalized communities, addressing issues of injustice and providing a platform for fans to find strength in solidarity. While consistent touring and album releases have slowed in recent years, their influence on the hardcore and metalcore scenes remains undeniable, paving the way for a new generation of female-fronted bands pushing boundaries. Their legacy is one of unwavering intensity, sonic integrity, and a commitment to using their music to ignite change.
