Man, this is why you guys are my favorite reaction channel. PWD is my all-time favorite band and seen them 3 times here in Texas. I’ve loved them since I went to their MySpace and heard Boneyards for the first time. If people watched Viva the underdogs they’d know what sound parkway is going for now but I bet they will have harder stuff on the album. I thought this was pretty great. Just glad you guys get it and aren’t shitting on them for trying to make money they rightfully deserve while still keeping their riffy and hard breakdown roots!
@6:11 you said it "imagine it live" i can now say after seeing them in Germany at their European Tour last Month: HOLY SHIT :D They used an Intro in which "Glitch" was fading into as an opener for their Set, and it was an absolute BANGER :D
I only got into parkway maybe 5-6 years ago but their message is amazing in everything they write. love this and of course you guys reaction! always fair and on point
Parkway Drive was the best show i've seen, and i've seen many great bands like Slipknot. It was 2018 in Helsinki at a summer festival as a headliner of the day. They used lots of pyros and sound of the show was explosive. Winston's screams and vocals were amazing for the whole time. Their energy was really positive and they got everyone jumping all the time. I can't stress how good they were
Old Parkway will always have a place in my heart but I really love the direction they've been taking the last few years with their sound. It feels fresh and modern but still has that distinct Parkway style and vibe to it. Every note has so much weight to it. Funny enough a few days before this released I had searched around to see if they had put anything new out because they had been somewhat quiet. I legitimately thought I just might've missed something (as keeping up with every single band is hard, as I'm sure you're aware) then like clockwork this comes out. It blew my mind how it's like they *know* you miss them. And I swear to you guys... every time I see new PD it always puts a smile on my face and I'm glad you enjoyed the new track. I don't have anything to suggest this time around, but still love to give you my input regardless! Cheers gentlemen.
Yeah nah nah this is a bloody good song hey 😄. In all the video to the music was definitely different to what I've been seeing recently and it was actually pretty awesome 🤘
@Riding9ines what do you mean iTs NoT HEavY! Drop B turning distorted guitars big sounding drums driving bass. Can’t get much heavier and better than than mate
@Riding9ines I ain’t clueless m8 as someone who is in a rock band my self, and listens to a lot of rock and metal. A HEAVY song doesn’t means it has to be fast or have tons of blast beasts. Most of the time the slower songs/ ones have a driving simple groove are the heaviest.
@Riding9ines you might be the clueless one m8, who can’t deal with the fact that it’s normal for bands to change the direction or sound,. Not to mention that the material that’s the guys in parkway write now/ they have said interviews that they like and enjoy play and writing the songs they do now
I would 100% recommended listening to the Deep Blue album & then watch the “Home is for the heartless” documentary! … you’re gonna love the band overall! And then you’re just gonna dive in to the band with a different set of eyes, you’re gonna feel like you’re watching your friends & it’s the best!
I loved this, I’d back anything Parkway puts out, I personally love their band evolution. If I want super heavy I’ll just listen to their oldest stuff. I’d love to see them live, my only regret was not seeing them live in Australia when I was their on my honeymoon.
I’d say they released this song as the first single because it’s just a showcase that there is gonna be a different sound in the new album so be prepared.
Killing With A Smile, Horizons, Don't Close Your Eyes.... That's the Parkway Drive I miss. Especially Killing With A Smile and Horizons, I absolutely loved those albums!
This song still hits so damn hard 🔥🔥 To hell with the people who bitch and will say this is not heavy enough. A band is allowed to evolve and change. Winston is doing some pretty sick things with cleans and his singing, still has insane tones and riffs with guitar and you know this will set off a crowd with that long breakdown and drums. So yeah they are back and I’m so fucking happy!! #PWD #GLITCH #LETSGO
The more film style portion is like the hospital / experimentation scenes from Akira but directed by David Lynch. This is who Parkway is now, and there's really no point bitching about it now. It's not like they're going back, no 'regression for regressions sake' as Nath said so perfectly.
Nice to see some love for this song I love it Sure it's not their best The riffs are very nice Winston's cleans are great It certainly doesn't deserve the hate it's getting Thanks guys
Totally agree with this intro boys! Parkway were quality at metalcore and I’ve been a fan since the start but they have evolved and progressed and I’m here for it! The new sound that we have been having is still so good and shows versatility from Winston on his vocals too. I like the track and I can’t wait for more. So many people need to stop wanting bands to be what they were 10-15 years ago it’s called evolving!
I always liked Winston’s vocals that’s why I listen to them and I don’t expect him to keep the same vocals 10 years ago or more that’s expecting to much
I think you guys summed it up perfectly, yes their sounds has changed, but they are doing their new sound right, and i wont be surprised if they lead the industry with this new "arena metal" vibe. Cant wait to hear what else they have been working on!
Agree with you guys a lot, some people just won’t ever be happy. I would LOVE to hear a modern day Don’t Close Your Eyes, or Killing With A Smile, or Horizons. It’s just never going to happen unfortunately. Their evolution could definitely have gone worse. Most bands in metalcore that have been around as long as PWD are way softer now. Winston said in an interview that you can’t force them to put something specific out because at the end of the day, it’s about what makes THEM happy.
TIL I'm part Australian since my typical filler word is fuck. 😂 The song was great, and you were right on the stadium rock, I could absolutely see this in a stadium with tens of thousands of people singing the chorus.
This track sounds very similar to their previous albums Ire and Atlas, but still not their best stuff, hope we can hear some elements of the first 3 albums from the upcoming tracks.
It does get fucking cold here in Canada Boys hahaha thank God it's summer here lol. Super fun arena track, arena metal done right! Also Johnny alot of Facebook groups are unfortunately really toxic about anything that isn't "oldschool" haha Also on another note, hope you guys checked out U 2 by 408 ft Aaron from Underoath a banger of an emo/pop punk track!
That main riff is so simple and musically boring that its almost an insult. The nu-metal rap style vocals are painful. I can see this song being good live, but you can't make every song with only that in mind. It sounds like it was made exclusively for German open air festivals
I was underwhelmed, I don't care that they changed their sound, i have loved all their albums, I reverence on repeat for ages when it came out, but this just did not do it for me. I don't think it was bad by any means, I just wanted more, for such a huge comeback, I expected more.
Yep I absolutely agree, I feel bad expecting so much and being disappointed but like it’s been 4 years or so since they last release anything and wanted something different from them
I loved early Parkway but by the time Atlus was out I was over it, was like meh it was ok but nothing special and never really played it heaps. so I really enjoyed Ire and Reverence which surprised me given my taste in heavier style of music, Given when Vice Grip first came out I hated it but it grew on me, this song it's not bad It is also growing on me but it's not worth all the hate that it is getting, Too many fans complain when bands stay the same (Electric Callboy for example is one getting the but it's all the same in comments) Yet when a band changes they get even more complaining. I for one hate the new Bring me the Horizon style but it's what the band want to do I accept that move on, no need to bash fans or the band for it, there are plenty of other heavy bands out there still smashing it up.
Glad that you guys enjoyed it, however it is not for me in the slightest, I need some variation and this just seems generic and uninspired, will definitely check o their new album though even though I’m not very excited for it.
I personally thought this track wasn't good. Not a fan at all. I'm hoping if they're releasing a new album, it has much better songs on it and it doesn't all sound like this. Good on them for changing their sound but I just can't get into this and Reverence. Ire and everything previous is great.
Man, this is why you guys are my favorite reaction channel. PWD is my all-time favorite band and seen them 3 times here in Texas.

Just glad you guys get it and aren’t shitting on them for trying to make money they rightfully deserve while still keeping their riffy and hard breakdown roots!
'get your rammstein on' lmao this is exactly what i said to my dad when we first lisened to the song
first Parkway song I ever heard, LOVE IT, big fan now.
I don't know what is not to love about this song
Hey Nath and Johnny! Greetings from the USA! Parkway Drive Rocks!! I also love Northlane, their new album Obsidian is great!
You guys reacted so much better than a few reacters I've seen react to it who are just jaded about this song... 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks!
Why better? I think it's better when reaction channels give their honest opinion instead of rating every song they hear as 'fire'.
@@Crotes1990 it was honest you idiot.
@6:11 you said it "imagine it live" i can now say after seeing them in Germany at their European Tour last Month: HOLY SHIT :D They used an Intro in which "Glitch" was fading into as an opener for their Set, and it was an absolute BANGER :D
Farrrken love it, the fellas are a fine wine and just keep on getting better
Agreed
Big fan of you guys from Portland Oregon USA. Keep it up!
Seeing them in October with while she sleeps and Lorna shore. So stoked.
They just NEVER fail
Its absolutely inspired...fuck!!!
I only got into parkway maybe 5-6 years ago but their message is amazing in everything they write. love this and of course you guys reaction! always fair and on point
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Love there old stuff and new stuff hope to see more from them
im late to this..but i saw Parkway Drive live and MAN did they deliver
Loved the track and reaction this is going to hit hard live
was one who wasnt a fan of this album, now i love it!

Great vid guys
Yeah nah nah this is a bloody good song hey 😄. In all the video to the music was definitely different to what I've been seeing recently and it was actually pretty awesome 🤘
Video was on point, that breakdown IS fire 🔥
That breakdown is gonna snap necks live, absolute banger of a song!
@Riding9ines I do and I will, thank you
@Riding9ines what do you mean iTs NoT HEavY! Drop B turning distorted guitars big sounding drums driving bass. Can’t get much heavier and better than than mate

@Riding9ines someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed!
Been waiting for a new song for too long. These dudes just kicked Ass🤘🤘🤘🤘
Definitly giving these guys a listen, just because of how much praise you dudes are giving them 🤟
I would 100% recommended listening to the Deep Blue album & then watch the “Home is for the heartless” documentary! … you’re gonna love the band overall! And then you’re just gonna dive in to the band with a different set of eyes, you’re gonna feel like you’re watching your friends & it’s the best!

Hell yea lads. Keen for this.
Watching Parkway play it live at Knotfest was ⚡️🔥⚡️🔥⚡️🔥⚡️⚡️🔥⚡️🔥
Had somehow missed new Parkway Drive, thanks for the heads-up 🤘
Totally agree with you guys!
Great music video and song…and of course your reaction was on point.
I fucking loved Reverence. I still listen to it now and I'm excited as hell for this next project
This slaps!!! Can’t wait for the UK September tour
I’d say they released this song as the first single because it’s just a showcase that there is gonna be a different sound in the new album so be prepared.
I’m an OG parkway fan, but this is still a banger!
yeah u got it aussie thanks for nice opinion u got may two thumbs and subs now, your reaction is better than other ✌️🤘🤘🤘🤘
Killing With A Smile, Horizons, Don't Close Your Eyes.... That's the Parkway Drive I miss. Especially Killing With A Smile and Horizons, I absolutely loved those albums!
One of the best metal bands all time, Austrália have the best bands 👏🏻
So so fukkin sick 🎉
Johnny you said exactly what I said! Good shit. Love me some PWD!
This song still hits so damn hard 🔥🔥
To hell with the people who bitch and will say this is not heavy enough. A band is allowed to evolve and change. Winston is doing some pretty sick things with cleans and his singing, still has insane tones and riffs with guitar and you know this will set off a crowd with that long breakdown and drums. So yeah they are back and I’m so fucking happy!! #PWD #GLITCH #LETSGO
@KingOfLegends23 jeeeeep, it's just their sound and songwriting now, and it blows :P
They are writing and playing for stadium crowds now, not your local pub.
Still got it the lads
Gets -40 up North in Canada! And I agree fuck the cold ! 😂😂
That’s a big NOPE haha
The more film style portion is like the hospital / experimentation scenes from Akira but directed by David Lynch.
This is who Parkway is now, and there's really no point bitching about it now.
It's not like they're going back, no 'regression for regressions sake' as Nath said so perfectly.
Parkway Drive Slaps.
Heard a lil bit of Devils Calling in there too😉😉
Sounds like the last album Reverence
Definitely a "snap your neck to this" kind of breakdown. Will take a few more listens but i like it!
Nice to see some love for this song
I love it
Sure it's not their best
The riffs are very nice
Winston's cleans are great
It certainly doesn't deserve the hate it's getting
Thanks guys
I absolutely enjoyed this single and the video is sick.
Totally agree with this intro boys! Parkway were quality at metalcore and I’ve been a fan since the start but they have evolved and progressed and I’m here for it! The new sound that we have been having is still so good and shows versatility from Winston on his vocals too. I like the track and I can’t wait for more. So many people need to stop wanting bands to be what they were 10-15 years ago it’s called evolving!
This sounds just like Ire, nothing new here.
I enjoyed that one, but I think it'll take a few plays for me to get really into it! Not quite as instantly gripping as I found Wishing Wells!
Definitely started liking it more after a few listens
Bayside - Strangest Faces!
I always liked Winston’s vocals that’s why I listen to them and I don’t expect him to keep the same vocals 10 years ago or more that’s expecting to much
I think you guys summed it up perfectly, yes their sounds has changed, but they are doing their new sound right, and i wont be surprised if they lead the industry with this new "arena metal" vibe. Cant wait to hear what else they have been working on!
After few listens it's an amazing song. It was just so different from the standard Parkway Drive. This album gonna be lit
Agree with you guys a lot, some people just won’t ever be happy. I would LOVE to hear a modern day Don’t Close Your Eyes, or Killing With A Smile, or Horizons. It’s just never going to happen unfortunately. Their evolution could definitely have gone worse. Most bands in metalcore that have been around as long as PWD are way softer now. Winston said in an interview that you can’t force them to put something specific out because at the end of the day, it’s about what makes THEM happy.
Yeah, there are a lot of entitled music fans out there.
TIL I'm part Australian since my typical filler word is fuck. 😂 The song was great, and you were right on the stadium rock, I could absolutely see this in a stadium with tens of thousands of people singing the chorus.
You guys going to react to the new Bleed From Within album
We never do albums
This track sounds very similar to their previous albums Ire and Atlas, but still not their best stuff, hope we can hear some elements of the first 3 albums from the upcoming tracks.
You need to do a weekly classic metal reaction vid....
It does get fucking cold here in Canada Boys hahaha thank God it's summer here lol. Super fun arena track, arena metal done right! Also Johnny alot of Facebook groups are unfortunately really toxic about anything that isn't "oldschool" haha
Also on another note, hope you guys checked out U 2 by 408 ft Aaron from Underoath a banger of an emo/pop punk track!
Appreciate the positive comments on the video boys! ❤️
Seen so many say they want Horizons, then just listen to HORIZONS
gotta check out new bleed from within new album !!
We’ve been listening to it.
The song is decent. But this one will bang live! Well made video.
They sounds like gg allin on steroids!!!
Good reaction gentlemen the music video reminds me of moonknight the Disney +
In Flames anyone?
Firstly Johnny looks way better than Winston......but musically all I'm hearing is Linkin Park....
It sounds just like “soundtrack to your escape” era in flames which isn’t all a good thing!
Their evolution into a modern melodeth alternative metal band is now complete
I actually avoided listening to this considering the comments I was seeing on PWDs post.. fuck me I missed out... very pleasantly surprised.
That main riff is so simple and musically boring that its almost an insult. The nu-metal rap style vocals are painful. I can see this song being good live, but you can't make every song with only that in mind. It sounds like it was made exclusively for German open air festivals
I don't care what the haters say. This song is a straight banger!
Parkway Finger Death Rammstein Drive
once spite and traitors came along, just wasnt into parkway as much.
I was underwhelmed, I don't care that they changed their sound, i have loved all their albums, I reverence on repeat for ages when it came out, but this just did not do it for me. I don't think it was bad by any means, I just wanted more, for such a huge comeback, I expected more.

Not sure why but the lead vocals have never been my favorite. Pretty much never gotten into them for that reason.
Hi hello. Counterparts - Unwavering Vow. Do this. Kbai.
Coming
React coldrain new song please
Glad that you guys enjoyed it, however it is not for me in the slightest, I need some variation and this just seems generic and uninspired, will definitely check o their new album though even though I’m not very excited for it.
You're not 40. You look 35 max. What's your secret?
Cheers for the vid boys, agree with all of your feedback!
Great song, great band. Awful puns, standard!
Metric, great for measurements; stupid for weather.
I know there’s some people super hyped on this band and this comeback but it’s very meh to me
I like this song a lot but don't love the chorus. That's the weakest part of the song IMO. But I like it overall.
Imo the video was goo but the song is awful wayyyyy to 5 finger death punchy lol.
Haven't been into Parkway for a while and this isn't changing anything. Cool riff though.
I love Parkway Drive but not really a fan of this one.
I personally thought this track wasn't good. Not a fan at all. I'm hoping if they're releasing a new album, it has much better songs on it and it doesn't all sound like this. Good on them for changing their sound but I just can't get into this and Reverence. Ire and everything previous is great.
Poor song
Song was pretty boring to be honest until that breakdown! Also, never thought I’d hear him do cleans
Extremely mid song.
Grouse song! Grouse band. Aussies do it better!!
