Walls Of Jericho Release The American Dream on July 29

WALLS OF JERICHO - Candace Kucsulain-vox, Dustin Schoenhofer - drums, Aaron Ruby – bass, Mike Hasty – guitar and Chris Rawson – guitar get set to release the rock soundtrack for the summer The American Dream produced by Ben Schigel (Chimaira/Ringworm) follows the mesh of metallic venom and concrete fury of hardcore/punk that the band is known for, 12 solid tracks of highly anticipated hard beating thunder proven when the label released the e-card it had over 87,000 views in the first 24 hours.

"We're putting all that we have into this new record, and trust me; it is extremely heavy. Right now we're calling it a 'thrash metal delicacy" says Candace

The band has also tightened its live set for the forthcoming summer's Rockstar Mayhem Festival featuring Slipknot, Mastodon, and Dragonforce to name a few. The tour is set to kick off July 9 at the White River Amphitheatre in Seattle and will hit Live Nation Amphitheaters in 30 cities in the U.S. and Canada between July 9 and August 19.

After completing 'With Devils Amongst Us All' in 2006, Walls of Jericho hit the road... hard. Along the way, they destroyed city after city on Ozzfest 2006 and Family Values 2006 as well as tours with Stone Sour, Unearth, and Bullet For My Valentine just to name a few. When all that winded down, it was time for a new adventure. In October 2007, Walls of Jericho decided to take some time out to record their new EP. They decided they'd finally do something they haven't had the chance to do: record an acoustic EP. "It's something we've been wanting to do for a long time," said Dustin Schoenhofer, drummer. "You can hear it on pretty much every record the bands ever done. We've always had some kind of acoustic with some kind of metal thing going on. The opportunity came so we decided to do it." To helm this project, the band chose to enlist Corey Taylor of Slipknot/Stone Sour fame to produce the record. After two weeks, the end result was a new EP called 'Redemption' released April 2008.

Most bands in the world can be lumped into one category or another, they are shuffled, redefined, and in that way they begin to lose the qualities that could make them important or meaningful. The greatest bands, the most influential or memorable, are the ones who don't try to fill the role set for them, who don't pursue anything other than the desire to make music, and the need to express that art to an audience. From the start, Walls Of Jericho has had this aesthetic in mind.
