Hardcore music has many evolutions depending on the area the band comes from, but almost all are impressive and enjoyable. Detroit’s Walls of Jericho have been around for a long time, and they are maintaining their place in the hardcore scene with their upcoming release, System Error: Humanity, on November 13th, 2026. It has been ten years since their last release. This album showcases just how monumental they still are after all these years. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the band, I encourage you to check this one out.
Walls of Jericho formed in 1999, and decades later, they have remained consistent yet fresh. While there have been some member changes, this release features Candace Buckingham (vocals), Aaron Ruby (bass), Dustin Schoenhofer (drums), Kyle Gailey (guitar), and Bobby VaLeu (guitar), who bring the heat on this album. The track “Broken Mouths Can’t Speak” features Lamb of God‘s Randy Blythe in a really fun collaboration. System Error: Humanity is full of aggression and incredible musicianship; it is definitely one to check out.
Dustin was kind enough to sit down with Metal Nation and discuss this release.
