Walk These Skies push “Cyanide Milkshake” past 10,000 streams before Pray For Cyanide: Volume 2

Walk These Skies' "Cyanide Milkshake" has crossed 10,000 Spotify streams, giving the Boksburg metalcore band a solid marker just before 'Pray For Cyanide: Volume 2' lands at Railways Café Irene in Pretoria on Saturday, 28 March 2026, with No Closure, Die Gemeente and Fading Gray on the bill.

Walk These Skies are celebrating a 10,000-stream mark for “Cyanide Milkshake.”

The timing is good. On Saturday, 28 March, the Boksburg band head to Railways Café Irene in Pretoria for Pray For Cyanide: Volume 2, alongside No Closure, Die Gemeente and Fading Gray.

“Cyanide Milkshake” came out in 2024, during a stretch where Walk These Skies were putting songs out steadily. “All The Same” and “The Bottom” landed in the same run before the band released I’d Rather Die Than Become What You’ve Made in September 2025. The song is still getting a reaction well past release week, which says more than a quick spike ever does.

The rest of the bill gives the night some shape. Fading Gray come into the show fresh off winning the Johannesburg heat of Wacken Metal Battle Africa earlier this month. Die Gemeente bring Pretoria into the mix on this lineup. No Closure also come out of Pretoria’s hardcore and metalcore circuit, so this is a Gauteng bill through and through, with bands that already belong in the same room.

If “Cyanide Milkshake” is not on your radar yet, now is a good time to fix that, give it a few more spins, and get ready for 28 March at Railways.
