There are a lot of albums from our back catalog of our current and former bands, and only a couple have been available for sale digitally. We’ve finally rectified that problem. As of now every single one of our releases is available for purchase from the major online retailers like iTunes and Amazon.
They’re also processing for approval at Emusic, Zune marketplace, and Spotify. Some are already through the process but if you’re looking for one of our albums through these smaller sites and you don’t see them there yet, try back in a few days.
The Postman Syndrome – “God Relieve Our Grief” & “Terraforming”
iTunes, Amazon, Zune
Day Without Dawn – “Understanding Consequences” & self-titled demo
iTunes, Amazon, Zune
East Of The Wall – self-titled demo
iTunes, Amazon, Emusic, Zune
We’re about to go into the studio soon so if you want to help fund the band and get some music in the process, here’s your chance. Make it count, kiddo.
Wednesday: Santos Part House in New York, w/ Kylesa, Rosetta, Fight Amp
Friday: New Wave Cafe in New Bedford, MA w/ Necris, Mother Night, Buddy Revell
Saturday: Palace Theater in Syracuse, NY with Starkweather, Cowards, Ebony Sorrow
The Saturday show is an all day show. It’s half horror movies and half music. It starts at 12:00pm and the bands go on at around 5 or so.
The final episode of our European tour footage has been posted online. Once again, a big thanks to our tourmates Radare for putting this together.

Our tourmates Radare just posted part three of their four-part tourcumentary, featuring us. Scroll down a couple posts for the first two parts. The final should be up some time next week.

A lot of people have been asking for lyrics, and sure, perhaps most of those folks didn’t pay for the record, but hey, they still may be good looking people, and you never say no to a good looking person. So here you go.
I’ll add the link to the media page next week when I redo a few other things on this site and our myspace page.
If you’ve read the last couple issues of Decibel you may have noticed a 1-page feature and a great review of ours. If you haven’t read them, here’s some scans.
I’ve noticed that we’ve been neglecting our website a bit in favor of our Facebook page. Sorry about that. It’s just easier to post there from our phones and such, so you should befriend us at www.facebook.com/eastofthewall or at least bookmark us, since we tend to do smaller quick posts there.
Regardless, we’ll make more of a point of posting all the important things here, like for example footage from our recent European tour with Radare. Those guys did what don’t tend to do anymore: pull out the video camera. Also the picture quality of their camera makes ours look like a toy.
These are the first two parts of a four-part series. They plan to post these weekly, or close to, so part three should be coming any day now. I’ve embedded them below, but I really recommend clicking the hd link to go to the vimeo site and watch it there. The hd version looks great blown up fullscreen.

Unfortunately the show in Budweis scheduled for tomorrow will not be happening. We were unable to confirm critical details necessary for the show to occur and therefore will not be able to perform. We apologize to anyone who was planning to come to the show. We will be playing the Czech Republic on October 11th at Circus in Ústà nad Labem, so we hope to see some of you there.
Additionally, the show in Kumanovo, Macedonia on 9/30 has been moved from Bar Cube to Agora. The address for the venue is still the same.
Set to kick off later this month, New Jersey’s EAST OF THE WALL will cross the Atlantic on their first European tour as a band, rolling through more than thirteen countries over the course of the three-week venture. Several dates of the tour are being locked down, with only a few more dates being finalized in the next few days. If you can assist the band in confirming a show, please contact Manus Booking: info(at)manusbooking(dot)com or an Earsplit operative right away.

This massive European tour will be just part of EAST OF THE WALL’s full year of touring in support of their recently released Ressentiment LP, which was unleashed by Translation Loss in July. The album continues to gain momentum, raking in amazing responses, both from those who have followed the band since their work with The Postman Syndrome, Biclops, Day Without Dawn and more over the past decade or more, as well as brand new fans of the technical, nearly unclassifiable act.  Promos of Ressentiment, interviews with the band and live/tour coverage are all available now via Earsplit. Please get in touch with all press inquiries.
“Put simply, East of the Wall have written a minor prog-metal masterpiece without being assholes about it. 9/10″ – Decibel Magazine “
…East of the Wall are that rare band that appeal to artsy indie types and metal nerds in equal measures; their dazzling blend of technical post-hardcore aggression, melody and indie sensibility is really one of a kind.” – Metalsucks
“…a somewhat impenetrable proposition of oddball melodies, mind-bending musicianship and new age-y/fusion/jazz of contempo-prog-metal…” – Rock Sound Magazine
“East of the Wall have done everything different and nothing wrong. This is likely to be the single most eclectic album of 2010. I’m tempted to say that Ressentiment is a masterpiece. 10/10″ – Gravedigger Magazine
“…one of the more unique records released this year…a head trip of immense proportions, and well worth your time.” - Popdose
“It’s rare to hear such divergent styles executed at the high level that East of the Wall have managed to reach with this album. 4/5″ – Decoy Music
