Detroit metalcore pioneers Walls of Jericho have announced their long-awaited new studio album, System Error: Humanity, set for release on November 13, 2026, via Napalm Records. Alongside the announcement, the band have unveiled the album’s first single, “The Ascent.”

Known for helping shape the modern metalcore sound, Walls of Jericho return with what frontwoman Candace Buckingham describes as the band’s “most aggressive record to date,” capturing the raw intensity of their live performances.

Speaking about the album, Buckingham said:

“System Error: Humanity is a raw, unapologetic, and most aggressive record to date… At its core, this album is about reclaiming your attention, owning your choices, and becoming who you were before the world told you who to be. Kill the noise. Reclaim yourself.“

The first single, “The Ascent,” delivers punishing riffs, crushing breakdowns, and a message of personal growth through self-confrontation.

“‘The Ascent’ is a crushing blend of dissonant riffs, massive breakdowns, and raw intensity… Growth begins where comfort ends,” Buckingham added.
