Setting the tone for vigorous handbanging and tossing around, metalcore band Pronoya formed in 2020. The group features Kyle Wolden and William Richardson on guitar, Connor Slawson on electric bass, Loren Dawson on hard-rock drums and Ryan Walkes handling the screaming. They have released five singles. The most recent, “Sever,” was mixed by Wolden and mastered by Mike Kalajian. In August, Pronoya was featured by the Duluth Ballet in its Emerging Performing Artist Series. Since then, these metalheads have been meticulously crafting their debut EP, set to release this year.
