[@richmondbailey]

I miss this sound and style. I can't find anything like it anymore. And these guys have changed their sound I to something different too, 😢. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I understand people change and so does the music they make. I just wish I could find this again all over again, or something similar that's new.

[@UnkillableTrump]

Have you ever listened to Emmure?

[@esauvargas3647]

It's 2009, high school days. My lifetime friend comes to my house and puts this to me and I was blown away. I instantly became a huge fan of PWD and it was never going to be the same. Miss those days man.

[@NEVERBL00M]

This one needs an algorithm revival. Heard this song for the first time in a WoW PvP Video in 2017. The creator had a disclaimer recognizing not all viewers would vibe with it. I was 17, discovered In Flames & Soil Work at 13. Avid fan ever since, caught their first Canadian tour in 2019, maybe 2020, the only show they've ever played in Winnipeg, on my birthday. Flew two and a half hours to see them again in 2017, flight left the next day. Best Metalcore band of all time. Good fuckin job boys.

[@elfalQQ]

old but gold :'(

[@udaythambimuthu3176]

The only bad thing about this video is that the audio isn't louder. But that's not your fault. Great shit.

[@udaythambimuthu3176]

P.S. Don't know if some of you guys know, the phrase 'Smoke em if you got 'em' originated in WWI or WWII, forget which. But it was basically before going in to battle, the commanding officer would bark 'Smoke em if you got 'em', because you're going into battle and may die and may as well have a fuckin smoke or two just in case. That last itching for a smoke.

[@thatbrit2005]

+Uday Thambimuthu you're sort of right...... The phrase "Smoke 'em if you got 'em" was popular in the military during World War II, meaning to take a break. Officers would say "Smoke 'em if you got 'em", allowing the soldiers to take a break and smoke their cigarettes. "if you got' em" referred to the vagaries of war.

[@udaythambimuthu3176]

But you're probably gonna get blown to all hell too. Landmines, mortars, tanks, or maybe you'll just end up catching a bullet or a bayonet. War is gristly, brutal shit. But it also contains acts of heroism that deserve to be recognized. Hence medals of honor

[@udaythambimuthu3176]

I forgot grenades. How silly of me.

[@udaythambimuthu3176]

Also this is one of my favourite websites ever. Highly edited accounts of acts of heroism, but most of the core information is actually accurate. Its just funny as fuck. www.badassoftheweek.com/index.cgi?id=446747623424

[@AlisTaiRS94]

This is an amazing song + band in general, i've only decided to check them out today, shamefully they've been around since 2002...i doubt i'm the only one :D

[@slapmutepop]

I feel not enough people here are appreciating the excellent specimen of the classic 1991 Holden Barina at 3:05

[@VileAnthony]

I wish they didn't change. I like how they had this style. Amazing

[@VileAnthony]

***** no dude there stuff isn't awesome as it use to be. They had way better break downs in the past. I like this album and don't close your eyes and kinda deep blue album cause they had beast beats and breakdowns.

[@VileAnthony]

Yeah I know that. Talking about we are destroying the world. I just can't really get into there new album. I only like two songs from it but its hard for me to get into there other songs from that album. There other old songs had meaning in it too.

[@skylineOwnZall]

***** yeah i agree, the first time i listned to atlas i was expecting some huge breakdowns but a lot of the songs are pretty tame compared to their last 3 albums, i wouldn't hope for their next album to be any heaver as they said they wanted to move even farther toward what they did on atlas.

[@VileAnthony]

Well lol now I've listen to atlas more it rocks. They have awesome breakdowns in the album but yeah hopefully next album is better

[@SuperItalia494]

I think one of the main factors of Parkway Drive's change in style, is because Adam D (Killswitch Engage) is no longer producing/editing their albums. I'm pretty sure he produced "Killing with a smile" and "Horizons". In those albums there was such a different tone from the guitars, more chunky and badass sounding. Also, such bone-crushing breakdowns from those albums as well lol... However, Parkway Drive have totally decided to go in a different direction with their music now. Still awesome but, different...

[@FortyEightFiftySix]

I first heard this song in like 2005 when I was like 13 or 14 on limewire before KWAS came out and accidentally downloaded the Prom Queen/Parkway split and they had the demo of this song in there and I immediately went to go learn it on drums man what I would give to go back to those days

[@vsolano2005]

Ahhh those times. Probably never get back to these times. Last records are "weird"

[@xSouthernDiscomfortx]

Wait what do you mean last record? Are parkway done or something?

[@vsolano2005]

Sup man \o Nahh, they just changed a lot , It does not even seem to be the same band. I mean, I like changes but this last album they are so "softcore" dude =S IMO of course.

[@xSouthernDiscomfortx]

Vinícius Solano I agree, There earlier realeases are much better. I don't really like Ire

[@303PartyMan]

IRE wasn't bad, but the single they released off the next album is cringe worthy. I'm all about bands evolving but that was a step in the wrong direction. I expected bands like BMTH and AA to get soft, but never expected it from PWD.

[@oanadede5783]

Dylan Depaula fuck

[@mikehazen5451]

parkway is one band i think hasn't put out a bad album , say what you want trolls but i haven't listen to a single song by pwd i didn't like or found catchy . heaviest breakdowns and lyrics that pack a punch . nuff said . they are where they are today because of pure hard work , that deserves huge respect in itself .

[@kaou]

And then they go and release vice grip

[@Mindartcreativity]

+kaou The new album is mind-blowing. I didn't like vice grip first, but IRE is awesome in its own way

[@theparadiddlydoo2771]

+davecoreproductions In my view, IRE can't really be compared to their previous material. It's far to diverse to be comparable. It's a good album but hears hoping they don't go mainstream for the sake of $$$

[@Mindartcreativity]

BounceTo TheBeat I totally understand what you mean, that's why I said 'IRE is awesome in its own way' ;) I don't think they would go mainstream for money on the next records. They have carried the Metalcore torch for 10 years and represent a certain mentality.

[@theparadiddlydoo2771]

davecoreproductions Yeah although the new album doesn't really follow a metalcore vibe. It's more metal than anything.

[@Myswagisonfire777]

If you're listening to Parkway Drive for breakdowns then you are listening to the wrong band. Yes, they have breakdowns but they were never a band solely based around them, bands that do that blow. Parkway's guitarists are extremely talented and they are great songwriters. Their riffs are unlike anyone else's.

[@splatbats]

"Their riffs are unlike anyone else's". So I'm guessing you've never heard At the Gates, In Flames, Killswitch Engage, Amon Amarth, Darkest Hour, Trivium, I Killed the Prom Queen, As I lay Dying, Dark Tranquility, August Burns Red, All That Remains, Unearth, Arch Enemy, or any other melodeath/metalcore band.

[@Myswagisonfire777]

Heard them all, actually.

[@vclipaddict]

Personally, I Killed The Prom Queen is terrible to me,but every other band you listed is awesome in my book. You're forgetting Children of Bodom's earlier stuff though.

[@splatbats]

Ethan Demedeiros I think they're included under "any other melodeath/metalcore band".
