energy.” That energy caught the attention of
Trustkill, as well as catching the attention of
Ferret Records as well. Ironically Trustkill
founder Josh Grabelle and Ferret Music Group
founder Carl Severson were friends. Walls of
Jericho was the child caught in between the
two parents fighting for their attention.

play nice, with Ferret still being a smaller label
it was decided that Trustkill was the place that
WOJ would call home, “Josh [Grabelle] could
do more for us. We were a band that wanted
to tour we wanted to do as much as we could.
We weren’t going to be a band that recorded
and just play a show on the weekends. It was
a decision that they [Grabelle and Severson]
agreed on together.” The Trustkill tenant
explains. In 2000 WOJ released their debut full
length, The Bound Feed the Gagged on
Trustkill, which was followed by 2004’s All
Hail the Dead after a brief hiatus. In 2006 got
the ball rolling with With Devils Amongst Us
All, landing them a spot on 2006’s Family
Values Tour .
Walls of Jericho finished up sixth recording
Redemption in October 2007, and will be
released in March, with Corey Taylor of Stone
Sour and Slipknot as producer. Redemption
marks the first release from Walls of Jericho
that has been one word and also their first EP
since 1999’s A Day and a Thousand Years
which was released on Eulogy Recordings
before they signed to Trustkill. “There are
four new songs with one song that was
previously recorded.”

Kucsulian says of Redemption, “It’s pretty
dark my mother passed a little over a year
ago in May and I really wanted to write a
song for her because that experience really
shook who I am in the past year, and where
my head has been at. And I feel that there
are a lot of people out there that are
searching for something. Not something
better, but just something more, and I have
defiantly been on that path of just trying to
reevaluate of who I am and where I am
going, and just wanting to be happy and
peaceful at the end of the day.” WOJ even
do a cover on Redemption that kind of
“revolves” around Kucsulian’s mother, The
Animals’ House of the Rising Sun? “It’s a
very passionate and lonely song about the
struggles of life that they go through. So
that was very fitting, and we did a lot of
changes to it, it’s the same song but it’s
just a little different.” she says of the
popular 1960’s song. Redemption is just a
bonus to the DVD Live in South America,
which is set to be released in March with
Redemption. Walls of Jericho hit the road in
the end of February through the end of
April with Napalm Death, Devil Driver, 36
Crazy Fist and Invitro, which is the same
time they will be writing for their 2008 full
length which is yet to be titled, nor a
producer mentioned, all though they may
be recording outside of Detroit for the
second time. Walls of Jericho will start
recording in May when they come off tour
with Devil Driver and company, to be
released by late summer.
