Groovey of Hollywood Music Magazine conducted an interview with vocalist Winston McCall of Australian metallers Parkway Drive before the band’s April 3 concert at Summit Music Hall in Denver, Colorado. You can now watch the chat below.
Parkway Drive‘s fourth album, Atlas, was be released on October 30, 2012 via Epitaph Records. The deluxe package included the Home Is For The Heartless DVD, a unique travelogue that follows the band’s adventures touring to many obscure destinations including Colombia, China and India.
Yet another creative leap forward for the chart-topping Australian band, Atlas boasts some of the most up front and confrontational material Parjway Drive has ever released, while at the same time taking several unexpected turns into lush sonic terrain, redefining their trademark sound while reinforcing their position as leaders in their field.
Recorded in Los Angeles with esteemed producer Matt Hyde [Slayer, Hatebreed], Atlas sets the standard in musical progression by pushing musical boundaries and drawing from a wider scope of influence. From heavy, technically advanced riffs and rapid fire blast beats, to haunting death growls combined with fervent vocals and symphonic melodies, Atlas ferocious mix of metal and hardcore reaches new horizons with songs such as Dark Days, Old Ghost / New Regrets and The River, all of which will have fans careening straight for the circle pit.
“Everything has been enhanced,” said McCall. “People don’t have to kiss the old parts goodbye. When you think of change, you think of things being taken away, but there’s not a case here where anything has been taken away. This is just more on top.”
