Parkway Drive have confirmed they are back in the studio and working on their sixth album.
The Australian outfit posted a message on Twitter, accompanied by a selection of pictures of them working on material for what will be the follow-up to 2015’s Ire.
Speaking to Metal Hammer about the new record last month, frontman Winston McCall said: “We are gonna be upping our game.
“The Ire cycle was a massive amount of work, but it’s all been part of a bigger goal. In 2018, everything steps up and moves forward.
“We have gained so much momentum over the last couple of years, and we not only want to harness it but do it justice. There’s no point in slacking off – I feel as though there are now expectations of what we can do and could be capable of.
“We don’t want to just coast by – we want to blow everyone out of the water.”
Parkway Drive will head out on tour across the US from April, with the band then heading to Europe throughout the summer. Find a full list of their live dates below.
