GRIMWATERS
About
Formed in the summer of 2016, Grim Waters is a dynamic, genre-fusing act from Appleton, WI. The band is characterized by their ability to blend driving metal riffs with atmospheric guitar melodies and non-linear song structures. Their sound ranges from technical progressive metal and shoegaze to blues-influenced rock. The group’s debut EP, Latchkey Years (released April 2017), serves as an emotional exploration of childhood trauma and vulnerability, written primarily by vocalist and songwriter Nathan Berkley. Over the years, the band has evolved through various lineup changes, recently shifting toward a "louder and heavier" sound. They are a consistent presence in the Fox Valley and Wisconsin underground scenes, having performed at venues such as Gibson Music Hall, The Tracks, and Missfits Tavern. Their music has also been featured on regional platforms like WAPL Home Brewed and live session series like Sonic Seedpod by VOYD Studios.
