Parkway Drive Tracking New Album In Los Angeles, CA

Parkway Drive recently entered Sunset Lodge Recording Studio in Los Angeles, CA to begin tracking their new album. Producer Matt Hyde (Slayer, Hatebreed) has been overseeing the sessions for the effort.

Speaking with Altpress.com, band frontman Winston McCall offered the following on the sound of the effort:

“…With the atmospheric stuff on this record, there’s so much more layering, and so much more depth to it. But the heavy stuff… I’m saying all these things about “new elements,” and people are probably thinking that it’s going to be soft, but the heavy stuff on this record is so stupidly heavy, it’s ridiculous.

I think when the first single drops, people will realize that Parkway haven’t gone backwards in terms of heaviness. Our playing has improved, too. Even the simplest stuff—when it comes down to just the four elements of guitar, bass, drums and vocals—all of that has been taken to a degree that’s way, way more advanced than anything we’ve done in the past.”

Release details have yet to be revealed.

    • I’m hopeful they dial in the production on this one. The guitars on Deep Blue sound awesome but the drum production has so much bass that it sounds muffled and overbearing. Horizons is a great album but the drums sound almost programed and the guitars sound digital as balls. The band definitely rips. I’m waiting for their new blu ray to come in the mail! Oh, and please more guttural vocals, Winston. My phone rig has been the breakdown from the Sirens Song for about three years – does it make you feel sick? Oh, I better answer that before the phone breaks down, yo!

      gotta love this band. good honest metal core. anxious to hear where the band’s sound goes from deep blue. very well written album, although the production seemed lackluster at times.

    • I rember seeing these guys ripping it up at the Byron Bay youth center tiny crowds, Winston on the floor doing his thing, so much energy. Now they are doing it round the world to huge crowds and the only thing thats changed is their skill improving. I cant wait to hear what they have learnt since deep blue and continue to do in years to come.

      • Fuckin’ aye cunt. I remember seeing them do the same in Sommerville with Carpathian support. It really makes me happy to see at least some Aussie bands do the hard yards whilst actually being good! Really interested to hear what these cunce come up with after deep blue.
