Wall announce debut album ‘Brick By Brick’

WALL have announced their debut album!

Titled Brick By Brick, the upcoming album from the UK instrumental doom/sludge metal band is their debut full-length record, and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via APF Records.

The upcoming album was recorded at Shonk studios and Warehouse Studios in Oxford, by Jimmy ‘Evil’ Hetherington and was mastered by Tim Turan at Turan Audio.

With the band taking inspiration from the first six BLACK SABBATH albums as well as being influenced by the undisputed kings of instrumental stoner rock – the much missed KARMA TO BURN, drummer Elliot Cole comments on some of the other artists they were listening to at the time while writing the album. “TORCHE, HIGH ON FIRE, ELEPHANT TREE, and THE SWORD were on heavy rotation a lot. I also was listening to a fair bit of POWER TRIP at the time too. But as well as the rock/metal stuff, we were listening to GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR and RADIOHEAD which helped in a way with some of the more spacey & ambient sections on the album.”

Speaking about the new song, Cole says, “we are really excited to release the debut album Brick by Brick & Masking My Contempt is the first new piece of music in about two years (since the WALL Vol. 2 EP) The song Masking My Contempt starts with a sample from an amusing scene, that is taken from a film we like called American Beauty. The scene is where Lester Burnham blackmails his boss for over a years salary. We have said for years that it would make a cool intro to a song, and to kick in with a big groovy riff after it. The title of the song is clearly taken from the sample, and the rest of the track was built around that first riff. Masking My Contempt switches between a 6/8 and 4/4 time signature. There are only three riffs in the whole song, and some bluesy slide guitar overdubed…it’s short and sweet and what we set out to achieve with this first single.”
