WALLS OF JERICHO just finished filming their first video for the new album, "With Devils Amongst Us All", due out fall, 2006. The band is fronted by female fury Candace Kucsulain.
Consistent with their dark sound, Walls of Jericho shot the video for the song 'A Trigger Full Of Promises' in discarded prison cells located deep in the rural countryside of Pennsylvania. The prison cells are part of an old farm house that was once a film studio for S&M videos, and is now used to make interrogation training films for the U.S. army and navy.
"We wanted the video to be full of dark undertones, to match the lyrical theme of the song", says Dustin Schoenhofer (drums) who actually scripted the video, "The initial idea was to combine a Romeo and Juliet storyline with METALLICA's 'Unforgiven' video."
The song is about the idea of love and the video portrays lovers who are separated by a prison wall, who give up their health, well-being and
ultimately their lifes to reach one another. Director Dale Restigini who has worked with TRIVIUIM, HATEBREED and FALL OUT BOY shot the video in one day. When most people were enjoying cookouts and baseball on Memorial Day, the band who had just completed the Trustkill Takeover Tour with BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE and ROSES ARE RED were filming. 'A Trigger Full Of Promises' will be the first single off of With Devils Amongst Us All, and is also featured on the new Headbanger's Ball, The Revenge double album that is out now.
Guitarist Mike Hasty describes the forthcoming full-length album as "the most varied music we've ever written, it's a lot more anthemic whereas our older material was more about aggression than composition."
"With Devils Amongst Us All" is the follow up to 2004's "All Hail The Dead". The group has also toured relentlessly with such varied artists in hardcore and metal such as SICK OF IT ALL, MASTODON, IN FLAMES, FEAR FACTORY and THROWDOWN cementing their reputation as a must see live act.
The band was selected to appear on this year's OZZFest, where they will destroy on the Second Stage. Leading to the Ozzfest appearance, the band will also be touring alongside UNEARTH, ALL THAT REMAINS, A LIFE ONCE LOST and THE RED CHORD.
