Parkway Drive announce new album ‘Darker Still’
PARKWAY DRIVE have announced a new album!
Titled Darker Still, the upcoming album from the Australian metalcore titans is the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Reverence, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Epitaph Records.
“When PARKWAY DRIVE originally started out, we all were trying to push ourselves to do more than we possibly could,” vocalist Winston McCall says. “What you hear on Darker Still is the final fulfilment of our ability to learn and grow catching up with the imagination that we have always had. There are compositions and songs that we’d never attempted before – or, to be more accurate, which we have attempted in the past, but not had the courage, time or understanding to pull off.”
Guitarist Jeff Ling adds, “I’m really proud of what we have achieved together, and feel that as musicians, we have really ascended to new realms of class and ability.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; The Greatest Fear. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Glitch, which was released last month.
Speaking about the new song, McCall says, “the greatest fear, the one we all share; this song is about the unifying force we all must face – death. The goal was to create a song that saw death not as something that separates, but something that connects us all on our paths. Musically, we wanted to create a song that did this concept justice. It’s heavy, it’s epic and when it stomps it leaves an impact.”
