The Midwest metalcore band that’s been making waves across the region’s mosh pits, Pronoya, released their debut EP, All For The Sun, at the end of 2025, solidifying their meticulously crafted sound. Pronoya’s artful and poetic metal style intentionally leans into contrasts that juxtapose more lyrical moments with heavy shredding, bass-face-inducing riffs, crunchy distortion, and a frenzy of punchy drums. Joining lead vocalist Ryan Walker, who seamlessly alternates between harsh screamo and clean singing, are guitarists Kyle Wolden and William Richardson, drummer Loren Dawson, and new bassist and backing vocalist Joey Langan. Pronoya’s music addresses the fragility of our mental health and the battles we face throughout life, while also leaving lyrics open to interpretation.
