Parkway Drive, the iconic metalcore band hailing from Byron Bay, has made a thunderous return with their latest single, ‘Sacred’. This track marks their first release since the well-received album ‘Darker Still’ in 2022. Known for their intense sound and powerful vocals of frontman Winston McCall, ‘Sacred’ delivers exactly what fans have come to expect from Parkway Drive, featuring aggressive breakdowns and McCall’s signature scream at the forefront. The accompanying music video, directed by Third Eye Visuals, adds to the song’s raw energy and impact.
McCall describes ‘Sacred’ as an anthemic burst of positive energy, aiming to counter the prevailing themes of negativity and despair that dominate society. The song urges listeners to embrace their individuality and reclaim their identity in a world consumed by materialism and self-doubt. It serves as a reminder to stay true to oneself and remain hopeful in challenging times.
As Parkway Drive gears up for an extensive series of performances worldwide, starting with a sold-out show at the Sydney Opera House alongside a symphony orchestra to celebrate their 20th anniversary tour, fans can expect a thrilling live experience. The band will then embark on the Summer of Loud 2025 tour in the United States, sharing the stage with prominent acts like Beartooth, I Prevail, and Killswitch Engage.
Following their American tour, Parkway Drive will headline arena shows across Europe and the UK, supported by fellow Australian bands Thy Art Is Murder and The Amity Affliction. Additionally, the band is set to headline Australia’s first heavy metal festival at sea, Hellbound cruise, in the coming year, featuring a lineup that includes Polaris, Northlane, and The Butterfly Effect.
The release of ‘Sacred’ not only showcases Parkway Drive’s enduring musical prowess but also highlights their commitment to delivering high-energy performances and connecting with fans worldwide. With their upcoming tour schedule and new music on the horizon, Parkway Drive continues to solidify their status as one of the leading forces in the metalcore genre.
