About Parkway Drive

For over two decades, Parkway Drive have forged an unbreakable path through the global metal landscape, emerging as a relentless force synonymous with passion, precision, and unyielding energy. Hailing from Byron Bay, Australia, the band first emerged in 2003, quickly making a name for themselves with their raw, aggressive sound and intensely passionate live shows. Their early releases, such as “Killing with a Smile” (2005) and “Horizons” (2007), laid the groundwork for their signature blend of metalcore fury, melodic undertones, and Winston McCall’s commanding vocal delivery.

Their breakthrough came with “Deep Blue” (2010), which showcased a more refined and ambitious sound, earning them critical acclaim and a wider audience. This was followed by a string of increasingly successful albums that saw them evolve their sonic palette while retaining their core intensity. “Atlas” (2012) and “Ire” (2015) pushed their boundaries further, incorporating more anthemic choruses and stadium-ready hooks without sacrificing their metallic edge.

Parkway Drive truly cemented their status as global headliners with “Reverence” (2018), an album that explored themes of mortality and legacy with a newfound maturity and a triumphant, almost orchestral scale. This was masterfully followed by “Darker Still” (2022), a colossal testament to their enduring power, featuring some of their most ambitious songwriting and production to date. Throughout their career, hits like “Carrion”, “Romance Is Dead”, “Boneyards”, “Wild Eyes”, “Vice Grip”, “Wishing Wells”, “The Void”, and the anthemic “Glitch” have become staples of their electrifying live sets, each one igniting mosh pits and uniting crowds in a shared sonic embrace. Their journey is a testament to unwavering dedication, a commitment to artistic growth, and a profound connection with their fanbase, making them one of the most respected and beloved bands in heavy music today.
