At least to me, Jersey has always been the shred capitol of the Northeast with Rochester, NY being a close rival for technical superior, “extreme” metal players. This is the state that gave us Human Remains, Ripping Corpse and Dim Mak to name a few. Despite what Chris Alfano and Matt Lupo may believe, I claim that East of the Wall are part of that Jersey lineage of technical driven, progressive metal bands, with the emphasis more on the progressive elements.

Despite having spent an hour with these guys, I’m still unclear as to when the band actually started and who was in the original lineup; the band seemed to spring, full-formed from two other bands in the area called The Postman Syndrome and Day Without Dawn.

Poised to release their brand-new full-length, NP-Complete on Translation Los, Chris and Matt met up with me somewhere in the wilds of New Jersey to hand out and talk about the record and a variety of other topics.

Intro:              “Tell Them I’m Sorry” – East of the Wall, NP-Complete

Outro:            “ N of 1” – East of the Wall, NP-Complete
