Parkway Drive have released a new one-off single entitled “Sacred” — their first new song in three years.
The Australian metalcore band return with an aggressive tune that vocalist Winston McCall described as an “anthemic wrecking ball of positive energy.” Big riffs are complemented by overarching lead melodies that give the track a symphonic flare; meanwhile, McCall shouts his words with a grizzled snarl.

“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,” McCall said of the song in a press release. “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.”
