7. Viva The Underdogs (2020)

“Viva the Underdogs will make you appreciate the effort that every single person behind the scenes puts into each and every show. You will see why Parkway Drive has fans all over the world. Special shout-out to Fishy, you’re a warrior.”

6. Killing With A Smile (2005)

“The rest of the album failed to disappoint. I’m not big on labels, but this band still retains that hardcore/metalcore style, yet they take it in a totally different direction. Even though they hail from Australia, their sound is reminiscent of New England bands such as Unearth and Killswitch Engage. Make no mistake, however, Parkway Drive has their own unique sound. The guitars are multilayered and they still manage to throw in some sick breakdowns.”

5. Reverence (2018)

“The clean vocals, the chanting, the riffs, the drums, the signature growls… the writing and musical craft can’t get any better than this. How Cemetery Bloom goes into The Void? YES. The explosion of aggression after the slow clean start to Shadow Boxing? Just… WHAT?! And that last song. It haunts me. I straight-up choked up in my car the first time I heard it. I need more, and I’m so excited to see what they do next I can barely stand it.”

4. Horizons (2007)

“Parkway Drive should be in every melodic metal / metalcore fan’s discography. Horizons is a great album from start to finish. Many of their songs will give you chills, especially if you listen closely to the lead singer’s lyrics. Lots of screaming, but not obnoxiously. His lyrical style flows with the rest of the bands riffs and makes the whole album flow very well. Definitely recommended.”

3. Ire (2015)

“This album delivers. No sell out bull. The melodies, screaming, awesome solos, breakdowns, it’s all there. Everything you love about metal and Parkway Drive is in this album. It’s all masterfully done. Buy it! You won’t regret it. I sure didn’t.”

2. Atlas (2012)

“Atlas is a great album from start to finish. Many of their songs will give you chills, especially if you listen closely to the lead singer’s lyrics. Lots of screaming, but not obnoxiously. His lyrical style flows with the rest of the bands riffs and makes the whole album flow very well.”

1. Deep Blue (2010)

“Again Parkway Drive delivers. It seems like with many bands they change their sound as their bands age, but not so with Parkway Drive. They still have the same consistent, kick-ass breakdowns and riffs that gives their music it’s energy. This album was well above my expectations”
