Darker Still

Limited Opaque Grey Coloured Indie Edition!

“Darker Still”, McCall, the PARKWAY DRIVE vocalist, says, is the vision he and his bandmates –
guitarists Jeff Ling and Luke Kilpatrick, bassist Jia O’Connor and drummer Ben Gordon – have held in their
mind’s eye since a misfit group of friends first convened in their parents’ basements and
backyards in 2003. The journey to reach this moment has seen Parkway evolve from metal
underdogs to festival-headlining behemoth, off the back of close to 20 gruelling years, six
critically and commercially acclaimed studio albums (all of which achieving Gold status in
their home nation), three documentaries, one live album, and many, many thousands of shows.

While Darker Still remains irrefutably PARKWAY DRIVE, it finds the band sonically standing shoul-
der to shoulder with rock and metal’s greats – Metallica, Pantera, Machine Head, Guns N’ Roses
– as much as it does their metalcore contemporaries. “I wanted a classic guitar tone for this record,”
explains Ling, who credits much of his inspiration to the connection his riffs have with a crowd in a live
setting

Emerging from the darkness of the past few years, this is the true face of PARKWAY DRIVE: redefined and
resolute, focused in mind and defiant in spirit.
