Freedom is the accusation rather than the promise in “Gravebound”. The track confronts a social order that presents obedience, consumption and exploitation as personal choice while reducing human existence to labour and profit. Belgian-Thai occult black metal band YHWH have now released an official lyric video for the song, one of their three contributions to […]

A song about freedom.

Former Foxing frontman Conor Murphy announced the new Smidley album in June. So far we’ve heard “Capstone” featuring Lucy Dacus and “Love In Every Direction” from Murphy Horse, and now he’s sharing the title track.

Walls Of Jericho, one of the genre’s most enduring and uncompromising bands, will finally release its new album, System Error: Humanity, on Nov. 13, 2026, via Napalm Records.

The record’s first single, “The Ascent,” landed to strong reviews, with Metal Injection singling out its “fierce breakdowns and demolishing riffs.” Walls Of Jericho has now followed it up with an equally punishing second single, “Agency.”

“Agency” opens at full sprint, all thrash-fueled velocity, before yanking the rug out with a bone-crushing breakdown. Frontwoman Candace Buckingham delivers what plays almost like a sermon on self-actualization, pushing listeners to stand up for their own rights.

“‘Agency’ is a song about freedom,” Buckingham says. “The kind that lives within you, the kind no one can take away, and the kind you have to fight for every single day.”

Walls Of Jericho built its reputation on genre-defining releases like 1999’s The Bound Feed The Gagged and 2004’s All Hail The Dead, records that cemented the band’s standing in the underground before it broke through more widely with With Devils Amongst Us All, The American Dream and No One Can Save You From Your Self. Years of relentless touring followed, with the band tearing through sets at Louder Than Life, Hellfest, Tied Down and Furnace Fest, among other major stages. Now the band returns with System Error: Humanity — a record that hits hard, confronts head-on, and still finds room to lift listeners while staying true to the sound that built the band’s legacy.

The album opens swinging with “True Til’ Death,” Buckingham‘s growls announcing the band’s return with full force. Tracks like “The Ascent” and “Untouchable” lean into dissonant, claustrophobic riffing, while thrashier cuts such as “The Flame” and “Agency” barrel forward at breakneck speed, loaded with riffs and solos. Lyrically, songs like “Agency,” “Borrowed Ground” and “Last Judgement” carry messages of reclamation and self-determination, urging listeners to push back against the world around them.

Guest spots come courtesy of Lamb Of God‘s Randy Blythe, who trades snarls with Buckingham on “Broken Mouths Can’t Speak,” and Guy Kozowyk of The Red Chord, who adds fuel to the pit-starter “Humanity.” The record winds down through the slow-burning “A Brighter Fire” before closing on “The Reckoning,” an epic, bruising finale built around one of the album’s heaviest breakdowns.

Converge guitarist and veteran producer Kurt Ballou (Nails, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Code Orange, Every Time I Die) handled production, capturing the band’s live intensity without sacrificing polish. Walls Of Jericho comes back swinging with the same conviction that’s defined it from the start.
