WALKEN Secure Distro Deal And Death Angel Show
San Fran ragers WALKEN’s new self-released/self-titled full-length is now available for exclusive distribution by Relapse Records!
WALKEN have also scored an upcoming opening slot for a hometown show with Skinlab and the almighty Death Angel this month, with more local and widespread tour plans in the works for the coming months. Check out the live footage from their release show a few weeks back:
The WALKEN crew have been expelling their metallic brew for a decade now. Comprised of a tight-knit unit featuring two members of Grayceon, WALKEN boast a high-octane punk-metal hybrid output all their own. Recorded at The Atomic Garden by Jack Shirley (Grayceon, Light This City), the new album is the first with the band’s newly revamped four-piece lineup, bearing artwork by Mr. Ben Venom, their logo designed by famed artist Christophe Szpajdel (Wolves in the Throne Room, Emperor).
“Walken are skillful in their execution of songs, crafting and building each tune into something instantly memorable…” - HellrideMusic.com
“Walken raise their fists at the crossroads of hardcore punk and metal… the band’s raw thrashing is heavily indebted to very early Bay Area metal bands such as Metallica, Exodus and Testament, but with unexpected bluesiness in the riff department.” - Aquarius Records
WALKEN live:
