Aussie metal ambassadors in Parkway Drive have delivered an assertive return with their first showing of new music since 2022's universally praised, Darker Still. Submitting an anthemic tributue to their unmatched resolve and creative breadth, "Sacred" functions as a like the band's battle, heavy in both style and substance.
Frontman Winston McCall elaborated on the conviction that is the engine of the track. "The mission statement for 'Sacred' is pretty damn simple. An anthemic wrecking ball of positive energy."
McCall continued, "Our lives and the way we exist in the world has been pushed further and further through the lenses and frames of negativity and hopelessness. Obsession with everything we lack, everything we hate, everyone we blame, everything that keeps us down. We sell the unique parts of us most precious just to buy back manufactured pieces of self in order that we may feel whole again. 'Sacred' is our identity. 'Sacred' is our time. Never lose sight and never lose hope."
"Sacred" lands as the band prepare for a mammoth touring slate for the remainder of the year. Next month, Parkway Drive will helm their historic sold-out symphonic performance at the iconic Sydney Opera House. The full circle moment is set to be a milestone in metal music as the band commemorates their 20th anniversary.
From there, Parkway embarks on a co-headlining trek on the Summer of Loud 2025 tour across North America.Flanked by Beartooth, I Prevail, and Killswitch Engage, the run features some of Parkway's biggest shows to date in the region. Along with The Devil Wears Prada, The Amity Affliction and Alpha Wolf plus openers TX2, Kingdom of Giants and Dark Divine - the tour is one of the most anticipated bills of the season.
