Giant Walker are a Heavy Progressive Rock band from Newcastle, UK. After individually relocating 300 miles to further develop their craft, the Geordie quartet was coincidentally born in the South, bound together by their northern heritage and a shared love for bands such as Karnivool, Soundgarden, Radiohead and Deftones. Their music captures the many lows of loneliness and tips a hat to the music that gets you through hard times; sweeping you up in a conceptual journey, from giant riffs to melancholic melodies, and ambient soundscapes. Giant Walker have stitched together a sound, woven from the fabric of their influences, that can’t be found elsewhere.
Giant Walker recently signed to Church Road Records and have since had coverage with BBC Radio 1, Kerrang, PROG, Metal Hammer and more. The band recently announced details for their sophomore album ’Silhouettes’ (Out 20th September 2024) as well as a full UK regional album release tour in October. Giant Walker now release title track ‘Silhouettes’ with a full music video on the 18th July ahead of their UK tour with Future Static and their highly anticipated performance at Radar Festival.
The song displays the dimension of Giant Walker’s sound; a melancholic stripped-back intro launches into a huge and anthemic chorus, which weaves into a hypnotic, riff-driven bridge, and closes on a guitar solo, that is a masterful and emotive display of Southern’s technical prowess.
Vocalist Steff Fish shares, “Thematically, the song explores feelings of being constantly beaten down to the point where you want to bring everyone down with you – almost like life is out to trip you up at every corner and then smiling when you fall. Epitomised by the lyric – ‘I could dig a nice hole in the ground, but then I guess I can’t watch the world drown’”
