Parkway Drive have made their return, dropping their new single ‘Glitch’ – and a great video to match.
It’s the first new material fans are hearing from the Byron group since 2018’s Reverance album. And look, if ‘Glitch’ is the kick off of a new album chapter, this is going to get people excited for what’s still to come.
The visuals, directed by Allan Hardy, matches the energy of the track; throwing frontman Winston McCall and the band into a dark space full of night terrors and the unexplained. Add dashes of bombastic pyrotechnics in the mix, and it’s classic Parkway – but with a fresh edge.
“Parkway Drive have always walked the line of balancing the light and the dark, and ‘Glitch’ is no exception,” the band has said in a statement.
“Sonically, we aimed to create a dark, heavy, and unnerving journey while still crafting a melody that burrows its way into your mind. Lyrically, the song deals with the phenomenon of night terrors and sleep paralysis. We all know the power our minds possess, but true terror manifests when your mind and all its fears takes physical control of your body. The glitch in your brain, where nightmares and reality cross.”
For fans who have been missing the band, this is a good dose of Parkway Drive to hold ya’s over until the next release (which hopefully, won’t be too far away).
