Parkway Drive Release New Video For "Unrest"

Tue, 06 Sep 2011 00:09:00 -0700

Australian hardcore heroes Parkway Drive are about to unleash an exhilarating sonic assault upon the kids of North America. The festivities begins with the premiere of the band’s new video for their magnificently brutal song “Unrest” which features the energetic five piece from Byron Bay delivering their ferocious metal mayhem in front of a massive churning stage diving crowd. The whole affair reaches a sonic and visual crescendo when Parkway Drive dispenses one of the heaviest breakdowns imaginable.

The song "Unrest" is from the band’s latest metal-core masterpiece Deep Blue, of which the Winnipeg Sun awarded three and a half stars and remarked, “Surrender and worship are your only two options.”

Watch Parkway Drive’s new video for “Unrest” by going here.

In late August, Parkway Drive will embark on what is undoubtedly heaviest tour of year, when they join rising English metal stars Bring Me The Horizon, fellow Brits While She Sleeps, Aussie hardcore punks Deez Nuts and UK metal outfit Architects, for nights of ferocious cutting edge new metal.

Critical Praise for Parkway Drive’s Deep Blue:

"Never less than utterly crushing" - Alternative Press

"Combines the emotional textures of Isis, the brute force of Viking metal and hardcore, and some symphonic elements thrown in for good measure" - Decibel

"Displaying a far greater mastery of dynamics than ever before the band whips, snarls, and charges their way through 13 tracks, every one of them designed to break you" - Outburn

"Parkway Drive have created a record that isn't just a landmark album for themselves, it's a milestone album for modern metal" - Metal Hammer

Parkway Drive Announce 2011 Headlining US Tour

Wed, 01 Dec 2010 00:12:00 -0800

Australian metal giants Parkway Drive have plotted their return to the US with a headlining tour beginning in February to support their critically acclaimed, ARIA award winning ("Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Album") record Deep Blue. Tickets will be available for purchase beginning December 10.

After dominating the metal charts in their home country and building massive momentum performing in front of thousands of fans at last summer's Vans Warped Tour, Parkway Drive have set their sights on conquering the US metal scene this February when the band hits the road for a US headlining tour with labelmates Set Your Goals.

Parkway Drive's third studio album, Deep Blue, which debuted at #2 on Australia's ARIA chart and #39 on Billboard's Top 200, was released in June 2010 and has since built steadfast momentum as a result of a groundswell of fan support in the US. Called "never less than utterly crushing" (Alternative Press *4.5/5), Deep Blue "combines the emotional textures of Isis, the brute force of Viking metal and hardcore, and some symphonic elements thrown in for good measure" (Decibel). "Displaying a far greater mastery of dynamics than ever before the band whips, snarls, and charges their way through 13 tracks, every one of them designed to break you" (Outburn *9/10). "Parkway Drive have created a record that isn't just a landmark album for themselves, it's a milestone album for modern metal" (Metal Hammer).

With an arsenal of new music locked and loaded for fans across the country the countdown to Parkway Drive's championed return to the US begins now. See you in the pit!!

Parkway Drive Unleash A Metal Masterpiece With "Sleepwalker" Video

Tue, 08 Jun 2010 00:06:00 -0700

Australia's reigning kings of metal-core Parkway Drive have premiered a visually stunning and brutally disturbing masterpiece of a video for their first single, "Sleepwalker," from their forthcoming album, Deep Blue, which debuts on June 29 via Epitaph Records.

Watch "Sleepwalker" and win prizes here.

Written and co-directed by singer Winston McCall along with friend of the band Aaron Briggs of Motion Circus, who provided the video's remarkable VFX, "Sleepwalker" transcends metal videos of the past decade with intense, apocalyptic first-person footage of the nightmarish destruction of Brisbane, Australia set to the tumultuous tones of Parkway Drive's first single from Deep Blue.

"It took a hell of a lot of time and effort, so it's awesome to see it come out looking so good," McCall recently told Noisecreep.com. "The song and the clip are definitely related in concept. The idea behind the clip was basically a city trying to consume its population, which ties in with the lyrical content of the song, although in a much more literal sense than intended."

""Sleepwalker" was my first time as a director," says Briggs. "After watching the Parkway Drive DVD I knew it was time for me to make them a film clip. I approached Winston and told him I want to make there next music video, he straight away had a ton of crazy ideas. I was thinking this guy is mental, the clip's gonna cost millions just in VFX! But then he said one thing that made a lot of it possible. He wanted to have a high contrast stylized look (known widely as the "Sin City look"). With this style you can get away with a lot. It's not 'photo real' so if you can go more arty on your design and animation and it will still read visually."

Equipped with a Red Camera the first time directors McCall and Briggs spent weeks "stealing shots" of Brisbane before dawn to avoid people and police, giving themselves a crash course in film making before capturing the shots needed to complete the video.

"Now that we had the footage, it was a matter of choosing the best takes and replacing the animatics storyboard frames with the actual footage," Briggs continues. "Happy with the edit, now all we had to do was the VFX, which was a little daunting given I only had eight weeks to complete, but at the same time this was the part I knew back to front, so the worst that could happen was a few late nights. With some help from my crew at Motion Circus and some proper all nighters, we completed the VFX on time. There were a few last minute tweaks to the edit, and off it went."

The epic new video for "Sleepwalker" is only the beginning for Parkway Drive as they position themselves to take on the metal elite with the release of their third studio album, Deep Blue. The band will arrive on US shores in late June to ignite the pit at this summer's Vans Warped Tour.
