about

Third song from the BEHIND THE WALL album, Fall of Jericho is probably the heaviest and most aggressive song.
Mixing elements of modern Progressive Metal, with excerpts that add polyrhythm, to a fast Thrash metal, the song makes clear again the proposal of Ivory Gates, getting really heavy to deal, in a figurative way, with the lack of empathy and intolerance, themes more current than ever in our society.

“This is an album with little room to breath and this is one of the fastest and most objective songs. In the bridge section of this song we have a polyrhythm part where the vocal melody still sounds natural and the complexity will possibly go unnoticed by the most distracted listener.
The guitar solo of this song is one of my favorites on the record since it synthesizes all my effort to merge striking melodic parts and technical fragments with an interpretation that makes it possible to be sung.” (Matheus Armelin – Guitars)

“I had a special challenge in the chorus of this song...tempo.
Can you imagine the whole band changing the time signature and you having to stay in line?
I'm already imagining playing it live...
Fortunately the final result only raised the level of music, from great, to excellent. For me, one of the best of the album.
(Felipe Travaglini – Vocal)

lyrics

Fall of Jericho

Behind closed gates
The guarded city's border
Noone can enter, noone will leave
Just trust me, I konw all about
How to make these walls fall low
Marching on around the city walls
Marching on Screaming for the fall of Jericho
The Fall of Jericho
For six long days, a sound can be heard
Trumpets blasting away
On the seventh day
Seven times around the wall
United in one voice, shouting out loud
Marching on around the city walls
Marching on Screaming for the fall of Jericho
Show them no mercy no fear
With God in their hearts
Show them no mercy
When the walls come tumbling down Burn this city to ground
Marching on, around the city walls
Marching on, Screaming for the fall of Jericho
United in one voice, shouting out loud
With God in their hearts
Show them no mercy
The fall of Jericho
