Redemption, recorded in Taylor's Iowa home studio is a new watermark in creativity and sound in the band's canon. The EP is a project that has been in the back of the band's mind for several years, and they are excited to get it out there, tells vocalist Candace Kucsulain, "We're really looking forward to fans seeing a different side of us. For seven to eight years we've wanted to do it. I sang in the choir when I was young but this band never allowed for that kind of approach especially live" says Kucsulain, whose dark croons and sultry vocals on the EP show that there is much more than what is on the surface. "It's really different from what we do but at the same time I hear us everywhere in it" adds guitarist Mike Hasty.
In addition to the EP, the band promises a new full-length to follow this summer. The band is currently holed up in an abandoned house in middle-of-nowhere Michigan writing the full-length.
The music will definitely follow the mesh of metallic venom and concrete fury of hardcore/punk that the band is known for. Of the album, Candace says "We've been trapped in this house together living and breathing music. We're literally in the middle of woods between two cornfields. We're putting all that we have into this new record, and trust me; it will be extremely heavy. Right now we're calling it a 'thrash metal delicacy' " After they finish writing, WOJ will head to LA to record at the Hobbie Shop with producer Mudrock.
The plan is for the full-length to be out for Walls Of Jericho's appearance on this summer's first Mayhem Festival featuring Slipknot, Disturbed, Mastodon, Dragonforce and more. This is just the latest in a line of powerful touring partners that include Stone Sour, In Flames, Unearth, Sick Of It All, Kittie, Mastodon, Bleeding Through and at Ozzfest and Family Values.
