About Me


DANNY WALKER - California resident studio & session drummer has achieved a notable reputation as a technically high performing artist in the metal and avant-garde genres since 1997. Over 15 years of experience and training in the percussive arts.
After gaining recognition in a series of local bands in the Ventura County region, Danny surfaced with hardcore/grind group UPHILL BATTLE , sticking with the band for over 5 years. In this 5 year existence UPHILL BATTLE toured North America and Canada, released 2 eps and 3 full length records. Amongst all this Danny additionally played with local death metal band THORNLORD
for a few years, playing a handful of shows and releasing a couple of demos. This band eventually faded away into obscurity.
Jumping at the chance to do something different, Danny teamed up with LA's avant garde goth-rock group CINEMA STRANGE between 2002-2006, touring extensively in regions such as North America, Europe, Japan and Mexico. During this period two records featuring Danny on drums were released.
Between 2003-2004 Danny filled in on drums for label mates and death/grind group EXHUMED touring the United States, Europe, Japan and Australia supporting their "Anatomy Is Destiny" record.
After parting ways with main group UPHILL BATTLE to pursue other musical obligations in early 2005, Danny relocated to Los Angeles birthing the progressive metal group INTRONAUT . While keeping this group a top priority, Danny has since joined Orange County grindcore group PHOBIA , appearing on their latest record "Cruel" and touring regions such as North America and Mexico.
In recent news - drummer Danny Walker has completed tour obligations, filling in for Hydra Head recording artists JESU (ex-GODFLESH/NAPALM DEATH) on their recent run through North America supporting ISIS.
