Walkways

Pushing the boundaries of alternative heavy music, Tel Aviv powerhouse Walkways channel raw emotion through relentless intensity and finely balanced dynamics. Bound together by a close-knit brotherhood, the band craft deeply immersive music that is as confrontational as it is vulnerable - an emotional force that has resonated far beyond their geographic origins, reaching audiences across the globe.

Walkways create as an act of release, healing, and transformation. Their music serves as both refuge and resistance - an antidote to the psychological weight of life in Israel and the Middle East, and a space where humanity, clarity, and self-determination can endure. Each song reflects a conscious choice forward. We all choose our own paths. Our own walkways.

Following the international impact of their sophomore album Bleed Out, Heal Out (Nuclear Blast, 2019), Walkways enter a new, deeply introspective chapter with their forthcoming album A Reminder. The record stands as a meditation on relapse and recovery, rage and acceptance, and the quiet resilience required to endure. Moving between crushing intensity and fragile calm, A Reminder expands the band’s groove-driven alternative metal with cinematic depth, confronting trauma, inner demons, and transformation - each wound serving as a reminder to heal.

Bleed Out, Heal Out marked a major leap forward for the band, showcasing their unique ability to fuse ferocious riffs and visceral screams with soaring melodies and moments of stark vulnerability. Self-produced by Walkways, the album was mixed by drummer Priel Horesh and mastered by Ermin Hamidovich (Periphery, Devin Townsend), firmly establishing the band on the international heavy music stage.

Formed in 2006 by vocalist Ran Yerushalmi and guitarist Bar Caspi, Walkways grew from a formative songwriting partnership into a fully realized force with the addition of guitarist Yoni Menner. The lineup was completed in 2010 with bassist Avihai Levy and drummer Priel Horesh, solidifying the band’s identity ahead of their acclaimed independent debut Safe In Sound (2013). From that point forward, Walkways rapidly ascended within the Israeli metal scene while drawing increasing global attention.

The band have toured extensively throughout Europe and the UK, most recently supporting Australia’s Ne Obliviscaris in 2024. Walkways have also been hand-picked as direct support for internationally renowned acts including Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, In Flames, Devin Townsend, Jinjer, Memphis May Fire, and The Omnific. Festival appearances include Wacken Open Air (Germany - third appearance in 2024), Reeperbahn Festival (Germany), ArtMania Festival (Romania), and Tbilisi Jam Fest (Georgia).
