Walkways share ferocious new single "A F**k You, A Thank You"
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”. 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).

Pushing the boundaries of alternative heavy music, Tel Aviv powerhouse Walkway channel raw emotion through relentless intensity and intrinsic 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. Walkway are Ran Yerushalmi (vocals), Bar Caspi (guitar), Yoni Menner (guitar), Avihai Levy (bass) and Priel Horesh (drums).
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 an oasis where humanity, clarity, and self-determination can endure. Each song reflects a conscious choice forward. We all choose our own paths. Our own walkways.
Their 2019 record “Bleed Out, Heal Out” released on Nuclear Blast, 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), firmly establishing the band on the international heavy music stage.
