Our Take

Ah, PARKWAY DRIVE - the Australian band that makes even the toughest blokes mosh like there's no tomorrow. Their debut album "Killing With A Smile" is a chaotic symphony of riffage and breakdowns that will have you headbanging faster than you can say "circle pit".

From the moment the opening track "Gimme AD" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The guitars are relentless, the drums are thunderous, and Winston McCall's vocals will make your eardrums beg for mercy. But who needs mercy when you've got breakdowns like these?

Songs like "Anasasis (Xenophontis)" and "Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em" showcase the band's ability to blend bone-crushing heaviness with catchy melodies. It's like being punched in the face by a brick wrapped in a velvet glove - painful, yet strangely satisfying.

But it's not all chaos and mayhem. Tracks like "It's Hard to Speak Without a Tongue" and "Romance is Dead" show a more melodic side to PARKWAY DRIVE, proving that they're more than just a one-trick pony.

Overall, "Killing With A Smile" is a brutal, unrelenting onslaught of metalcore goodness that will leave you breathless and begging for more. If you're a fan of heavy music that doesn't take itself too seriously, this album is a must-listen. So crank up the volume, grab a beer, and prepare to get your face melted off - in the best possible way, of course. Cheers, mates.

About the artist

Parkway Drive

Parkway Drive are the Australian metalcore maestros who have been shaking up the scene for over a decade. With their shredding guitars, bone-rattling breakdowns, and relentless energy, they have managed to carve out a niche for themselves in a genre crowded with imitators. Formed in 2003 in the sleepy surf town of Byron Bay, Parkway Drive quickly rose to prominence with their explosive live shows and no-holds-barred approach to songwriting. Drawing influences from heavyweights like Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying, they have managed to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Frontman Winston McCall leads the charge with his guttural vocals and commanding stage presence, while guitarists Luke Kilpatrick and Jeff Ling lay down the heavy riffs that have become the band's trademark. Bassist Jia O'Connor and drummer Ben Gordon provide the thunderous backbone that drives their sound to new heights. Despite their success, Parkway Drive have never lost touch with their roots, and their lyrics are often a reflection of the struggles and triumphs of their upbringing in small-town Australia. From songs about environmental destruction to tales of personal resilience, their music is as thought-provoking as it is headbang-inducing. With six studio albums under their belt, including the critically acclaimed "Reverence" and "Ire," Parkway Drive show no signs of slowing down. Whether you're a die-hard metalcore fan or a casual listener looking for something a bit heavier, Parkway Drive are guaranteed to leave you with a sore neck and a newfound appreciation for the power of metal.
