With a long break since their 2012 release Atlas, the Byron Bay lads have announced the release of their highly anticipated fifth album, Ire, set for release September 25 via Resist Records.
The band has released the first single ‘Vice Grip’, giving fans a taste of what is to come. Parkway Drive has taken a stunning creative leap and produced what they consider to be a career-defining statement and the results are mind-blowing. Ire is the sound of a band that continues to push their own limits. It’s bigger, heavier, more melodic and has more depth to it than anything they’ve done in the past. It retains all the hallmarks of classic Parkway Drive, but it’s clearly something brave and new.
