WALLS OF JERICHO Film 'A Trigger Full of Promises' Video

Detroit's WALLS OF JERICHO have just finished filming their first video for the new album, "With Devils Amongst Us All", due out this fall via Trustkill. The band shot the clip 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 drummer Dustin Schoenhofer, 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 lives, to reach one another.

Director Dale Restigini, who has worked with TRIVIUM, 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 "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."

WALLS OF JERICHO will appear on this year's Ozzfest, which is scheduled to kick off June 29 in Seattle. Leading up to the Ozzfest appearance, the band will also be touring alongside UNEARTH, ALL THAT REMAINS, A LIFE ONCE LOST and THE RED CHORD.
