Greyhawk

Greyhawk are a power/heavy metal band based out of Seattle, WA. Founded in 2016 by guitarist Jesse Berlin and bassist Darin Wall, the band has gone through a few lineup changes. They released their debut EP Ride Out in 2018 with vocalist Rev Taylor, rhythm guitarist Enrico Mariuzzo, and drummer Nate Butler. After signing to Spanish label Fighter Records (part of Xtreem Music), they released their debut album Keepers of the Flame in 2020.

Mariuzzo would part ways and was briefly replaced by Alika Madis of Dirty Lyxx up until 2021. Madis would then be replaced by Jacquelynn Ziel as rhythm guitarist. They released their second EP Call of the Hawk in 2022. Ziel left in 2023 after relocating to Los Angeles to pursue her own career goals. She would be replaced by Rob Steinway of fellow local heavy/power metal band Skelator.

After releasing their second album Thunderheart in 2024, Taylor announced he was leaving Greyhawk to pursue his opera career via the band’s Facebook page. Video auditions were announced shortly thereafter with Anthony Corso of Grammy-nominated hard rock band Suite Clarity becoming Taylor’s successor. The band signed with Italian metal label Cruz Del Sur Music and released their third album Warriors of Greyhawk in 2026 which leans a bit more heavily into US power metal than their previous works.

Citing personal reasons, Corso announced via social media in February 2026 he would not be joining the band for a planned tour of Canada. On April 15 of that same year, he announced, presumably for the same personal reasons, he was stepping down as vocalist for the band and thanked his bandmates for the opportunity and shared experiences. The band, in a social media post, thanked him for his contributions and indicated they would address the search for his replacement following the tour.
