Parkway Drive’s Upcoming Nostalgic Album Shows: A Journey Back to Their Roots
This August, heavy metal fans are in for a treat as Parkway Drive, the acclaimed Byron Bay band, announces a unique series of intimate shows that hark back to their early days. Known for their electrifying performances in massive arenas, Parkway Drive is set to downsize, giving fans a rare chance to experience their music up close.
Details About the Killing Horizons Tour
This special tour, dubbed Killing Horizons, will take the band to a handful of intimate venues across Australia. The series will celebrate two of their landmark albums: 2005’s Killing With A Smile and 2007’s Horizons.
Each city will feature a two-night residency, allowing fans to relish in the nostalgia of Parkway Drive’s earlier work. The first night is dedicated to performing Killing With A Smile in its entirety, while the second night will showcase Horizons, performed front to back. Additionally, both nights promise a festive mix of fan-favorite hits that span the band’s impressive catalogue.
Nostalgia: A Journey Back in Time
As fans prepare for this nostalgic experience, many can recall a time when the music culture revolved around basketball shorts and side fringes, with social media platforms like MSN serving as the backdrop for youth and music discovery. Parkway Drive’s frontman, Winston McCall, expressed that the idea for this tour came after revisiting their early material during their last tour. He mentioned, “Revisiting Killing With A Smile with a fresh perspective lit a spark that remained after we finished up.” This spark ignited the vision for Killing Horizons.
However, this tour is not simply a greatest hits set; it’s a heartfelt return to form. McCall emphasized that this tour is for fans who have waited years to hear these songs live, many of which haven’t been performed in over a decade or never played live at all. This fresh take on their classic tracks promises to reconnect the band with the raw energy that launched their career.
Significance of the Tour in Parkway Drive’s Journey
Parkway Drive has come a long way since their inception, celebrating their 20th anniversary with sold-out arena tours and even becoming the first heavy band to perform with a full symphony orchestra at the Sydney Opera House. Now, as they prepare to step back into smaller venues that they would typically headline in Europe, the sense of coming full circle is palpable. This tour not only showcases their musical evolution but also underscores their deep connections with the Australian music scene.
