"It's not hard to sing about stabbing someone or revenge fantasies over fast drums and punchy guitars. He thinks this is the most heavy and honest record PWD ever wrote not in terms of mechanical brutality but in brutality of pure human emotions The tragic events gave the album a dark feeling He says that they didn't want to waste time playing it safe ("Heavy part here, breakdown there, please like us" - we don't want to waste time with this) Globe-trotting, Gold-selling metalcore juggernaut Parkway Drive have been decompressing from what vocalist Winston McCall describes as their biggest scale.

When he was asked what to the aggressive sound happened (back in 2017) he said that a lot of stuff happened behind the scenes which changed his perspective and his lyrics Refers to Vice Grip as their biggest song and was surprised that a few people were so pissed off by the sound This was the first PWD record where they didn't pay attention to creative borders and let their influences run into the album He loves this album and was never so proud of a record until Reverence The album marked their commercial breakthrough He regrets putting the concept above the songwriting but says that they learned a valuable lesson this way The first more ambitious record due to its conceptĪlso the first time where they realized "weird" ideas such as Pressures which is intended as a palindrome (in the middle of the song it is played in reverse order)

He still loves Horizons but he feels like a lot of riffs are wasted meaning that they would make them work better now if they had the chance to reconstruct the album Footage from the Bodyboarding film Release featuring Winston McCall and Jono Ware, launching big on waves up and down the east. Though there are songs on it that Winston still enjoys (such as Dark Days, Wild Eyes and Blue and the Grey) he feels like a lot of the songs felt the same which resulted in a lack of identity He is quite unhappy in terms of lyrics and songwritingĪtlas was the album where they realized that they need to work on a new sound Here is the article, unfortunately the article is written in German, so I'll try to translate and summarize the ranking:įeels the least connected with this album because it's so far in the past
