Parkway Drive

[lightsout]

I don't know if any of you have heard this band, as they haven't really gotten huge yet. However, they do have 3 albums out dating back to around 2007 (I believe). They're from Australia, and they haven't done a ton of touring here in the states, just mostly in Europe and Australia, so that could be the reason nobody has really heard them. In any case, I am HOOKED on them right now. Not sure how I would classify them though. They have a sort of Killswitch Engage sound to them as far as how the singer sings (the bassist of Killswitch actually produced their first 2 albums, maybe their third, not sure). I wouldn't call them metalcore, as most people relate metalcore with bad music in general.

Basically, check them out. Their latest album, Deep Blue, is awesome. Primarily due to the fact that the album tells an epic journey. You have your character who has his realization and journey to the underworld, is torn down and reborn there, comes back with new-found strength/knowledge, sets things right. Very awesome lyrically and musically.

Here is the song I have not been able to stop listening to. It is off of their second album, Horizons.
