− | '''Tom Walker''' is a heavy metal musician from Milton Keynes in the [[United Kingdom]]. As of June 2009, he has released two full-length albums and six singles. His music is predominantly classified by its lack of a drumbeat - the reason for this being his desire to have every element of the songs being his genuine playing, combined with the fact he doesn't play the drums. The songs are therefore driven by the guitars. The two albums were released on CD, while the singles have all been released online. He is currently working on a new release, a five-track E.P. called 'You Can't Stop Me'. The E.P. has been the subject of a long, drawn-out revealing of information leading up to its release. Prior to the announcement of the name, it was referred to as 'Project Nine'. | + | '''Tom Walker''' is a heavy metal musician from Milton Keynes in the [[United Kingdom]].

| + | Walker creates all of the artwork for his releases. Most of the covers feature pictures from his local area: for example, the cover pictures to Downhill Flight, Another Ode, Storm's Coming, Welcome to the Village and The Truth Will Survive all feature scenes from Milton Keynes, whilst the cover to Come Back to Me features a picture from Aylesbury and the cover to The Mission/Testament shows an image of Marsworth Reservoir in Buckinghamshire. The covers to Checkpoint and Heart of Your Soul were completely digital. |
