Meanwhile, “Glitch” bounces with an industrious chugged riff that Metallica would be proud to call their own. “Like Napalm” follows with an immediacy and urgency that will have crowds moshing and head-banging everywhere Parkway go. Opening track “Ground Zero” teases into proceedings, McCall taking a softer approach over lullaby xylophones before an eruption of supercharged power-chords and soaring guitar leads. But musically, it is as impactful and powerful as ever. It still bears the hallmarks of Parkway Drive’s previous work, in particular Winston McCall’s characteristic gravelly barked vocals. This journey continues still and reaches its apex with their latest effort, Darker Still. Their 20 albums – Ire and Reverence – saw Parkway Drive graduate away from their origins, transitioning to a more classic metal sound. Born from an aggressive merging of metal with hardcore punk, it melds the ferocious energy of hardcore with the intricate riffs and musicianship of metal – a heavy match made in heaven. Enter Parkway Drive, an Australian metal band who spent the first part of their career firmly within the "metalcore" subgenre.
