With the there new upcoming album coming up which is set to be released the 29 of June i decided to focus this topic on possible the best metal band ever in my eyes. Parkway are a Metal core band from Byron Bay, Australia the band consist of Winston McCall, (vocals) Ben Gorden, (drums) Jeff ling, (Lead guitar) Jia O'Connor, (bass) and Luke Kilpatrick (Rhythm guitar). I am going to be focusing on just how this band might be the greatest metal core band of our day's.
In my mind Parkway are a contender for greatest metal core band of our time because of there raw talent and passion for music. Parkways passion for music is show just by how hard they worked to put there name out there in the world unlike and Disney or pop band that is out there today parkway didn't have any body to commercialize them they didn't have they're parents pay money to put them on TV and get know they made a CD and they toured constantly for 3 years. in 3 years they toured all of Australia then they had no where also to tour so they called a man named Adam Dutkiewicz or other wise know as Adam D lead guitarist for Killswitch Engage and producer for many metal bands and they recorded a full length album in 2 weeks and then headed overseas to England and tour all across England and then got a flight to America and toured all across the U.S. After they toured across the us they got a offer from a record company called Epitaph records and they signed to them and got there album killing with a smile released in America. As you can see Parkway have worked hard and traveled far from home just to play there music to there fans. Which proves my point that they are passionate about there music.
Parkway also have the talent for being the greatest metal core band of our time. With people like Jeff on lead guitar who is extremely technical and and Luke on rhythm who doesn't play quite as technical as Jeff equals out to an amazing combination. With Ben Gorden on drums is also a great asset to the band cause he is a very fast drum player even though he does not have the greatest double bass talent he is amazingly fast at the beats. Jia who is on bass does very well on even though parkways bass is not that noticeable on there records Jia puts on a great performance at concerts. And to top off there amazing talent they got Winston on vocals who is an amazing screamer and great performer. With all these talents put together the band's songs are just amazing i can not think of one Parkway song that does not have a awesome breakdown plus Parkway drive are the masters of sing along songs!
Parkway are also great because of there teamwork and there friendship. Every member of parkway have know each other since they were kids and they grew up with each other hanging out and surfing with each other and they have a great friendship and it really helps them out when they are playing up on stage doing great performances.
Despite all these great facts about Parkway there is a part of me that says there are a lot of metal core bands out there and to judge with out hearing them all is just crazy. I mean i love parkway drive but then there are bands that i like almost just as much or just as much such as As I Lay Dying or For Today or August Burns Red which are all amazing bands that i can not decide which is greater because they are all strong in different ways.
In my conclusion I cannot decide if Parkway is the greatest Metal core band ever because there are so many bands out there that it is difficult to choose i guesse to choose would be like "all hell breaking loose".
