Our Take

Australian metalcore outfit Parkway Drive deliver a chaotic and exhilarating experience with their latest album "Viva The Underdogs." From the blistering guitar riffs to the thunderous drumming, every track on this record is packed with energy and aggression, making it a headbanger's dream.

Vocalist Winston McCall's guttural screams and intense growls add an extra layer of intensity to the already heavy instrumentation, creating a sense of chaos that is impossible to resist. Standout tracks like "Wishing Wells" and "Chronos" showcase the band's ability to blend melody with sheer brutality, creating a sound that is uniquely their own.

However, while Parkway Drive excel in creating a sonic assault that is sure to get your adrenaline pumping, the album does suffer from a lack of diversity in its sound. Many of the tracks blend together, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other.

Overall, "Viva The Underdogs" is a solid addition to Parkway Drive's discography, showcasing the band's undeniable talent for creating hard-hitting metalcore anthems. While it may not reinvent the wheel, it is sure to please fans of the genre and provide a cathartic release for those in need of a musical punch to the gut. So grab your air guitar and get ready to mosh, because Parkway Drive are here to make you feel alive.

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.
