Earlier today, progressive metal band East Of The Wall posted a link on their Facebook wall of a fan made live video synced to the recorded versions of “Whiskey Sipper” and “Underachiever”. The video is well shot and the audio is well synced up until the last few minutes. Although the video is not an official production, the band is promoting it and it is done well enough to garner an official status (in my eyes anyway). Check out the video above, It’s super rad and consists of probably the best two songs off of The Apologist.

As you guys can see, I recently had a chance to spend some time with the extremely rad dudes in East Of The Wall. Just in case you aren’t familiar, East Of The Wall is a progress metal band from NJ. They combine elements of post-metal, jazz, and sludge to create a unique sound. The recently released The Apologist out now on Translation Lost Records. Make sure to pick it up and check the band out on one of their upcoming shows.

Continue after the jump to watch some HD footage of the band performing some tracks off The Apologist.

Last year, a band I had not heard of before then graced my ears with their album, Ressentiment. That album was my favorite of 2010 and continues to be one of my favorite records of all time. East of the Wall are one of the most unique and impressive bands that I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. When a little bird told me that they were writing new music, I was very excited but my expectations were high. Ressentiment, though slightly unfocused at times, was an instant classic for me and I figured the band would have a hard time topping it. Well, music fans, I give you their new album, The Apologist. You tell me if they topped Ressentiment or not.

East of the Wall’s upcoming record, The Apologist, will be released on October 25th. I have already pre-ordered the record and I am on my knees praying at my mailbox to the Mail Carrier Gods to bring me it sooner. But until my prayers are answered, I can listen to this new East of the Wall song to keep me preoccupied. Head on over to npr.org to listen to the new song entitled “False Build”. I am not even going to spend time talking about the song. It’s East of the Wall! It’s supposed to be good. Just go listen now!
