Greywalker takes control of episode #440 of the Pennsylvania Rock Show. Carrying the torch for the new wave of American heavy metal Greywalker deliver razor sharp dual guitar attacks, thunderous rhythms and pure, unfiltered aggression. In 2015 they self-released their debut album Beyond All Mortal and over the past couple years they have built a reputation for their relentless live performances sharing the stage with bands such as Darkest Hour, Nile, August Burns Red & Baroness. In 2017 they were nominated the “Best Metal Band” in the Pittsburgh City Paper’s annual Readers Poll. Blending their favorite melodic elements from Swedish legends such as In Flames & Dark Tranquility with the unfiltered American chaos of bands like Slipknot & Lamb Of God, Greywalker have developed a crossover style that is unapologetically aggressive but surprisingly approachable thanks to their strong focus on songwriting and storytelling. The lyrical content typically revolves around the internal struggles that exist within us all and aims to only enlighten, empower, encourage the listener to challenge the way the view the world around them. Never discriminating anyone or their ideals based on race, religion, politics, gender or lifestyle. Greywalker believes you can get anyone to headbang if you give them something worth headbanging for. Read More… Topics covered in segment 1: What genre/sub genre do they consider themselves?
