Parkway Drive - Darker Still (React/Review)

[@matthewkoen6124]

Don't worry Mat, it had the same effect on me. This song was beautiful, I don't care what the haters say, and daaaamn that guitar work is saucy, brilliant!🙌🏼

[@Afterhours.101]

Yep i teared up too with a big ole smile, been listening to them since 2007. Seen em live 18 times. I cannot wait to hear this live

[@draggoneyes2011]

This song was beautiful I literally cried right along with you I'm super excited for this album

[@MatandChelsReact]

As are we!

[@MarLin67]

This is a masterpiece and already one of my top all time favorites! Took me by suprise aswell. Thanks for a awesome and honest reaction guys!

[@neilferguson6719]

I first heard this song, I was immediately emotionally drawn to it. The guitar solos and the orchestra really hit me. This is THE anthem to my life 🤘❤️🔥

[@climbinbrian]

They performed this live in Munich this week. The entire audience was just holding up lighters and cell phones. Tears were running

[@climbinbrian]

3 violins and a cello

[@mntal]

This was not a song I expected from Parkway Drive, but I enjoyed listening to it with you guys!

[@bevbash68]

Made me cry too, it's so beautiful and evokes all sorts of emotions which is what music is supposed to do, lovely reaction ❤

[@davidcatherman2063]

The power of it is unreal.THIS is why I love metal and started playing guitar so many years ago.

[@DylboBaggins92]

These days, anyone can write an old parkway song. Tune a guitar to drop B and chug away. This was so much more than a metalcore song. There was layering, tone colours, and skilful composing. Living only a few hours away from where the band grew up, I’ve been really fortunate to have been to dozens of parkway gigs and this by far is my favourite song from them. KWAS and Horizons were brilliant in their own right, but this is a masterpiece

[@MrUnderstoodxx]

I get the same way. The song honestly is amazing

[@ManG1aze]

this song made me cry too man lmao, its so fucking beautiful and emotional. such a fantastic piece of art. It'll go down in history alongside nothing else matters, Stairway to Heaven, its amazing.

[@Rubyredacted]

Only people that become aware of the fact they're growing dark can feel what's layered all in this masterpiece I've had it on repeat at work for days now and it puts me in a "special" place without fail every time. Awesome react brother and sister loved the authenticity 💯🖤

[@jayare2583]

One of those songs that is sad in the beginning, but when they throw the heavy instrumentals it becomes happier. Good vibes.

[@MetalMystica]

Same reaction here, this song is just epic in all ways!

[@d3athperception828]

Its great besides the 3 repeats of the line "and the night grows darker still" in the chorus but I guess it's fitting because of the 3 layered head on the art work.

[@Brent_Hannan]

This song is an absolute masterpiece.

[@SneezingEagle]

Oh this song is soo good! I really dig it man. Awsome video guys

[@aussiegamingandreviews3427]

Easily one of my fav ballad type songs in rock and metal

[@chris3884]

MASTERPIECE

[@mikycrisostomo4294]

One of my favorite of this album, parkway fucking drive🤘🤘🤘

[@frowan]

Absolutely beautiful song and I have a weird feeling this album is going to be amazing.

[@kendallstephens1735]

Parkway Drive doing cleans ok I see you there 😳🤩 so good ! I saw them live years ago with They Art is Murder amazing show

[@jamesgrenard]

crying too buddy. feels like a goodbye song. they're my favorite band ever, so im emotional as hell.

[@ssofianos]

amazing track! one of the best i heard in years! the built up is out of this world

[@MrErikbaan]

You are not the only one tearing up Mat. 🙂

[@mato8494]

The Parkway Ballad 🥰♥️

[@davidriddick82]

I love this song man, I had the same reaction and this is their Nothing Else Matters. This is their ballad and I love everything about this, hurry up 9/9/22

[@klaussaalfeld5547]

For me sounds like a mixture of Pink Floyd (Division Bell), Dire Straits (Brothers In Arms) and Led Zeppelin (Stairway to heaven) in a metal form

[@51-73-i6w]

And metallica nothing else matters

[@nailz2758]

this one had me starting and when i saw you two watery eyed mine started lol

[@nofear2201]

Hi . New video and song Ville Valo Echolocate Your Love, good song

[@mikewhitehead50]

Yeah, amazing. I appreciated it more after a few listens, but it looks like it hit you after one. I totally understand. That slow build is so necessary, it sets the solo up and makes it so impactful. A real masterpeice. This album will have such an epic feel, which that song could finish it perfectly.

[@Duck-dp7mq]

The last 10-15 seconds is where it got me.

[@kinanatto257]

you know what makes this song even better? (it's the fact I'm listening to it from syria, and yes, the night grows darker still)

[@nailz2758]

disturbed's song made me cry. it was just so well done and got super into it

[@mannyblackstar]

We have our metal ballad guys. Don't let this song die. 🥲🙏🏻

[@patchesm]

Song most likely to make a metalhead cry 2022

[@MatandChelsReact]

Truth!

[@14LPfreak]

This song sounds so good live man

[@thewretch4081]

Nice Berried Alive sweater

[@chrisscott820]

Did you see the clip of Winston talking to Nik Nocturnal any this track? Its pretty great haha

[@nolankuffner3573]

They could have said.. 'Parkway Drive feat Sergio Leone - Darker Still' and the only thing I could say would be 'makes fucking sense'. One of the best songs they've made, in my opinion. Tieing the album art into (all the singles, but still) the visualizer and kind of showing the ideas of concepts they used was super fucking cool. Might be a top 5 album of the year, depending on the non-singles. I'd say this has bars, but that's what singles are for. Bars. Singles. Get it? I'm here all week 😀

[@MatandChelsReact]

🤣

[@cgf7973]

But yet ppl will still complain it's not parkway what are they doing, you have to admit parkway has evolved to no end

[@MatandChelsReact]

Evolution in the best of ways too!

[@cephithus]

For I Am King- Liars

[@variansv]

I didn't like this song on it's own, in the context of the album it works so fucking well. Never bee ashamed of music doing that to you, it's such a human feeling when a piece of music catches you in the gut like that. Last time for me was seeing Tool doing fear innoculum live in Dublin. After all the lockdowns and shit, first live gigs first time seeing tool and the lights the sound the crowd just got me. I burst out in tears

[@mannyblackstar]

Why you haven't reacted to the album yet? Ground zero and other songs? Strange

[@MatandChelsReact]

We didn't feel the need to do a full album reaction to this one.

[@mannyblackstar]

@@MatandChelsReact 😭😭

[@AlexSolomon91]

I love this song... but my friend said its just Nothing Else Matter, but heavy.....and you know what I Flipping the dip love it

[@AJ-of9yw]

This masterpiece was written because of a plumber...not even kidding

[@darknessveils8810]

i like mat and chels i been into your videos for a few months now , so i subscribed to you guys xd but this song was very boring to me parway has way better ones 🍻🍻

[@joemikep503]

Very similar to nothing else matter of metallica

[@johnpierce2095]

didnt like it , but did love the new spite song that came out

[@VahisMX]

This song is 10/10 For me but other than this the album was kinda dissapointing.

[@ceciliamanning9301]

Old parkway drive is way better

[@mnewm21]

and it is still there and luckily they aren't still creating the same old same old as that would be hella boring after all these years. A long lived band's music is always going to change as they themselves change, so maybe I agree with you but I certainly aren't going to hate on them for not still writing the same old stuff.
