THIS IS NOT A DRILL! PARKWAY DRIVE ARE BACK WITH GLITCH!
Byron Bay metalcore monoliths and genuine Australian icons Parkway Drive have surprise-dropped a gargantuan new single Glitch! The first truly new music from the band since 2018's Reverence, Glitch sees Parkway Drive continuing the sonic evolution they've undergone over the last 20 years while maintaining the rage and intensity that has helped to establish them as one of the biggest modern metal bands on earth. Glitch explores the things that our minds experience when we are not awake — but not yet asleep — the world of night terrors and sleep paralysis. The band shared a statement on Glitch and what its release means for the future of Parkway Drive.
"Parkway Drive have always walked the line of balancing the light and the dark, and 'Glitch' is no exception," the band shares. "Sonically, we aimed to create a dark, heavy, and unnerving journey while still crafting a melody that burrows its way into your mind. Lyrically, the song deals with the phenomenon of night terrors and sleep paralysis. We all know the power our minds possess, but true terror manifests when your mind and all its fears takes physical control of your body. The glitch in your brain, where nightmares and reality cross."
Parkway Drive have steadily evolved from metal underdogs to festival-headlining behemoth off the back of close to 20 gruelling years, six critically and commercially acclaimed studio albums (all of which achieved Gold status in Australia), three documentaries, one live album, nearly a billion total streams, and many, many thousands of shows. To see that growth in context watch this rare footage from 2005, and contrast it with this video from their set at Wacken! WILD.
