Walkways share ferocious new single ‘A F*ck You, A Thank You’

Today, Tel Aviv alt-metal force Walkways have unveiled a biting new single and music video, ‘A Fuck You, A Thank You‘.

Laden with spine-tingling twists and underpinned by a dynamic fluctuating intensity, the single pays tribute to indomitable spirit and transformation in the face of adversity. ‘A Fuck You, A Thank You’ represents the defiant embrace of life’s constant rise and fall. 

Speaking on the inspiration behind the new single, vocalist Ran Yerushalmi shares:
“This song was inspired by the film Split. The broken and the damaged often carry a different kind of strength-shaped by fracture rather than wholeness. In those cracks lies resilience, and sometimes even evolution, or at the very least the chance to become something more.”

The track is mastered by Forrester Savell (Karnivool) and mixed by the band’s drummer Priel Horesh, with the music video directed by Guy ‘Chuck’ Chackarov (Holding Absence).

Formed by Yerushalmi and guitarist Bar Caspi, Walkways grew from a formative songwriting partnership into a fully realised force with the addition of guitarist Yoni Menner. The lineup was completed by bassist Avihai Levy and drummer Priel Horesh (the band’s lineup until this day), solidifying the group’s identity ahead of their acclaimed independent debut “Safe In Sound” and their impactful sophomore album “Bleed Out, Heal Out “(Nuclear Blast). 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, Jinjer, In Flames, Devin Townsend, Memphis May Fire and The Omnific. Festival appearances include Wacken Open Air (DE – 3rd appearance in 2024), Hellfest (FR), Euroblast (DE), Free For All (DE), Reeperbahn Festival (DE), ArtMania (RO), and Tbilisi Jam Fest (GE).

Stay tuned for more Walkways updates in the near future.
