Singer, Candace Kucsulain started a piercing/tattoo apprenticeship while Drummer, Wes Keely traveled to finish school. This left the remaining 3 members of "Walls of Jericho" to start a new musical project of their own.
"It's All Gone To Hell" was made up of 3 members of "Walls Of Jericho". Guitarists Chris Rawson and Mike Hasty as well as Bassist Aaron Ruby. Their music can be described as being a mixture of the honesty and conviction of Straight-Edge Hardcore (which some members of the band are) and the pounding & grinding intensity of hardcore/metalcore staples such as NY's "Another Victim" and "Buried Alive". "It's All Gone To hell" was one of the few bands out of the Detroit Hardcore scene whose recordings were an exact replica of how intense their shows were live.
One of the first shows the band ever played was opening up for Throwdown and Bleeding Through in Ypsilanti, Michigan at the popular hangout "Mr Muggs". Around this time they had a self released 5 song demo which contained many if not all the songs available on their full length. Throughout their short lived existence, "It's All Gone To Hell" contained various members of Canadian Hardcore bands across the border as well as finally containing members of Michigan Straight Edge Hardcore outfit "Coalition".
Their full length debut (and final album) was done by Mike Hasty at his own Cloud City Studios and put out through Michigan local label, Alliance Records.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause everything you stood for wasn't everything that you were.
I've been betrayed before, now I'm fucking pushing back.
Cause everything that you did becomes grounds for war.
We have made a tradition of keeping our weapons close at hand. GO!

Cause everything that you said was just a fucking lie.
Two-faced bastard you've brought on a storm.
From a fight to a battle into all out war.
